About This Feature

Overview

Share Selection is a spreadsheet collaboration feature in WPS Office for Android. It lets you select a cell range, generate a share link for that range, and help recipients open the file directly at the selected area for faster viewing and input.

Core capabilities include:

Share a selected cell range from a spreadsheet.
Set link permissions before sending the link.
Copy the link and let recipients jump directly to the target selection.

Capability Summary	Supports selecting a cell range in a spreadsheet on Android, sharing that selection, and letting recipients open the link directly at the selected area.	Microsoft Excel officially supports sharing a workbook and setting permissions, but the cited page describes workbook-level sharing rather than opening a shared link directly at a selected cell range.	Google Sheets officially supports sharing spreadsheets with specific people or by link and setting Viewer, Commenter, or Editor access, but the cited page describes spreadsheet-level sharing rather than direct opening at a selected range.	Notion officially supports page links and block links. A copied block link can direct someone to a specific block in a page, but it is designed for pages and blocks rather than spreadsheet cell selections.	Adobe Acrobat officially supports sharing documents by link for viewing or review, but the cited page focuses on document-level sharing instead of spreadsheet range targeting.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Share a selected spreadsheet range directly. Distinct: Recipients can open the link and land on the target area for faster review or input.	Compared with WPS: workbook sharing and permission control are documented, but the cited page does not describe selection-level jump-in behavior.	Compared with WPS: link sharing and permission control are documented, but the cited page does not describe opening directly at a chosen cell range.	Compared with WPS: block-level links help direct attention inside a page, but the content model is page or block based rather than spreadsheet cell collaboration.	Compared with WPS: link sharing is oriented to PDF documents and review workflows, which differs from spreadsheet selection collaboration.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to send collaborators straight to a specific spreadsheet area, WPS Share Selection is more aligned with that workflow. The official pages for the other products mainly describe file-level, page-level, block-level, or document-level sharing.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main pain point	How it helps

2	Reviewing key data	Managers, reviewers	Important data locations often need repeated explanation	Send a selection link that opens directly at the relevant cells
3	Collecting information remotely	External contributors, event staff	Large sheets can make the input area hard to find	Narrow attention to one selected area before sharing
4	Training or live walkthroughs	Trainers, instructors	Participants may not stay focused on the same part of the sheet	Share a target selection so everyone lands in the same area
5	Multi-person editing	Small teams	Standard file sharing still requires manual navigation	Use a selection link to reduce navigation time before editing
