About This Feature

Overview

Insert Link is a link-editing feature in WPS Sheets for macOS. It helps you add clickable destinations to cell text. You can link to a web page, a location inside the document, or another file, and you can also edit or remove an existing link.

Core tasks include:

Insert a hyperlink: Set the display text, link type, and destination for the selected cell.
Edit or remove a link: Change the destination of an existing link, or remove the link while keeping the original content.

This feature is useful for sheet navigation, reference lists, project trackers, and quick jumps between related resources.
