About This Feature
Overview
WPS Copy View is a view management feature in WPS Office for Mac Bitable that helps you duplicate the current view configuration quickly. The copied view keeps the original view's filters, sorting rules, grouping settings, and field visibility so you can continue adjusting it without rebuilding the setup from scratch.
Core capabilities:
- Duplicate the current view from the view options menu.
- Keep view settings such as filters, sorting, grouping, and field visibility.
- Continue editing the new view after it is created, including renaming it.
This feature is useful when you need multiple analysis angles for the same table, want to test different view setups, or need to keep the original view while creating a variation.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you copy a view from the left-side view list in Bitable and keep filters, sorting, grouping, and field visibility settings. | The Microsoft Loop product page describes collaborative pages and components, but no directly matching official explanation for a copy-view action was identified. | Google Sheets officially documents filter views and related view management, but no fully equivalent official description for duplicating a Bitable-style view was identified. | Notion officially documents database views and supports multiple views in one database, which is a related capability. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF workflows and does not document an equivalent capability for duplicating a Bitable-style data view. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can create a new view with the same configuration as the current one, which is useful for keeping the original view while making a variation. | Compared with WPS: Public information is centered more on collaborative pages and components, without a directly matched copy-view workflow. | Compared with WPS: It offers related view management through filter views, but that is not the same as duplicating a full Bitable view configuration. | Compared with WPS: It supports organizing multiple database views, but the current official page does not directly describe a copy-view entry. | Compared with WPS: Its product focus is PDF handling rather than Bitable view duplication. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Copy View is well suited to everyday Bitable view reuse on macOS, especially when you want to preserve an existing setup and create a variation quickly. Google Sheets and Notion provide related view-management options, but their workflows and feature focus are not the same as this WPS feature. Adobe Acrobat is not aimed at the same use case.
