WPS Copy View on macOS FAQ

When using Copy View, users usually ask about 3 areas: whether data is duplicated, whether the copied view can be used across tables, and how the original and copied views relate. This section includes 3 common questions.

FAQ

Does Copy View duplicate the data too?

1. Copy View duplicates the view configuration rather than the underlying data itself.
2. The new view and the original view share the same underlying data.
3. If data is edited in one related view, the updated data is reflected in the other related views as well.

Can I use a copied view in another data table?

1. Copy View works only within the current data table.
2. If you need a similar view in another table, open the target data table first.
3. Then create and configure the needed view manually in that target table.

If I change the original view after copying it, will the new view be affected?

1. If you change the underlying data, both the original view and the copied view show the updated data.
2. If you change a view-specific setting such as filters, sorting, or field visibility, that usually affects only the view you are editing.
3. It is helpful to confirm whether you are editing data content or only the display setup before making changes.
