About This Feature

Overview

Insert Link is a hyperlink feature in WPS Spreadsheet on iOS. It helps you add web links, email addresses, and other online addresses to cells so you can open related content directly from a spreadsheet.

The main tasks in this feature are:

Insert a hyperlink: set display text and a target link for a cell.
Manage a hyperlink: open, edit, or remove a link that has already been added.

This feature is useful for resource lists, sign-up sheets, project trackers, contact tables, and other spreadsheets that need quick access to external information. After insertion, the linked text usually appears in blue with an underline for easier recognition.
