About This Feature
Overview
Add to Quick Access is part of the multidimensional table view management experience in WPS Spreadsheet. It lets you pin frequently used views to the Quick Access area at the top of the left sidebar, so you can open them without searching through the full table structure each time.
Core tasks include:
- Add a view to Quick Access: pin a frequently used view to the top of the sidebar for one-click access.
- Remove a view from Quick Access: remove the shortcut entry while keeping the original view and data unchanged.
This feature is useful when you switch between multiple views in the same data table, such as project tracking, task board review, and recurring data checks.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you add a specific multidimensional table view to the Quick Access area in the left sidebar and remove that shortcut later when needed. | Microsoft 365 lets users add files to Favorites in the Open view, which is useful for keeping frequently used files handy, but it is focused on file-level access rather than a view inside a spreadsheet. | Google Sheets official guidance covers browser bookmarks and desktop shortcuts for opening Sheets, but the reviewed official page does not describe a native in-app quick-access area for spreadsheet views. | Notion supports Favorites in the sidebar, and database views can appear as nested items, making it easier to open frequently used pages or views from the sidebar. | Adobe Acrobat official guidance supports viewing and managing cloud files, which fits file-level access, but it does not provide an equivalent spreadsheet-view quick-access workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: pin access is tied directly to spreadsheet views inside a multidimensional table. Distinct: removing Quick Access does not remove the original view or its data. | Compared with WPS: Favorites are centered on files in the Open experience, not on internal spreadsheet views. | Compared with WPS: official guidance is centered on entry shortcuts such as bookmarks and desktop shortcuts, not view-level navigation inside a spreadsheet. | Compared with WPS: Notion works well for page and database navigation, while WPS is more directly aligned with spreadsheet view switching. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is mainly oriented toward PDF and file management scenarios rather than spreadsheet view navigation. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to switch quickly between different views inside the same multidimensional table, WPS provides a more direct spreadsheet-view navigation path. The other products reviewed here focus more on file favorites, page favorites, or access shortcuts, so their workflows serve related but different use cases.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Pain Point | How This Feature Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fast switching between project views | Project managers and team leads | Multiple views exist in one project table, and finding them repeatedly takes time | Add frequently used project views to Quick Access |
| 2 | Organizing recurring review entry points | Operations and data analysts | The same views need to be opened every day for review | Keep high-frequency views pinned at the top of the sidebar |
| 3 | Role-based collaboration views | Collaborative teams | Different members focus on different views, and navigation paths can be long | Each member can manage personal Quick Access entries |
| 4 | Temporary priority view pinning | Owners of short-term tasks | Some views are used heavily for a limited period | Add them to Quick Access first, then remove them later |
| 5 | Keeping the original view structure intact | Table maintainers | Users may worry that removing a shortcut changes the original organization | Remove only the shortcut entry while keeping the original view unchanged |
