About This Feature

Overview

Copy View lets you duplicate an existing view inside the same table and keep its display settings in place. After duplication, the new view keeps filters, sorting rules, grouping settings, and field visibility, so you can continue adjusting the copied view without rebuilding the setup from scratch.

This feature is useful when one table needs multiple display plans for different roles, when you want to keep the original view as a baseline, or when you want to test a new filter or grouping setup without changing the current view.

Capability Summary	Copy View can duplicate an existing view inside the current table and keep filters, sorting, grouping, and field visibility settings in a new editable view.	Microsoft Lists lets users save the current view as a new view and keep sort, filter, group, and column display settings.	Google Sheets officially supports copying an entire sheet, and the copy keeps values, formatting, formulas, and other properties, but this is not a database-view-level copy.	Notion database views support multiple views for the same database, and each view has its own settings and can be duplicated directly.	Adobe Acrobat help focuses on PDF zoom and page display adjustments rather than duplicating a database-style view.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Copy View is available directly from the view list, which fits workflows that need several display variants over the same underlying table data.	Compared with WPS: It also supports saving the current view as a new one, but the workflow is centered on list view management.	Compared with WPS: It is closer to copying a whole worksheet than duplicating view settings within one data table.	Compared with WPS: It also supports duplicating database views, but the product is positioned more as a general workspace database.	Compared with WPS: It focuses on PDF reading and display controls instead of table view duplication.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to create multiple display setups from the same multidimensional table data, WPS Copy View is closely aligned with that workflow. Microsoft Lists and Notion offer similar view management ideas, while Google Sheets and Adobe Acrobat are oriented more toward worksheet copying or PDF display control.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable users	Main issue	How Copy View helps

2	Keep the original view as a baseline	Table maintainers	Changes to the current view may affect an existing workflow	Copy the original view first, then continue editing the new one
3	Test a new grouping setup quickly	Project managers	Rebuilding grouping and sorting takes time	Copy an existing view and change only the settings you want to test
4	Create a personal working view	Individual users	A user wants to keep a preferred display style	Copy a shared view, rename it, and adjust it for personal use
5	Reuse a complex setup	Operations and analysts	A complex view takes time to rebuild	Duplicate the existing view instead of configuring it again
