About This Feature

Overview

Export and Save As is a Bitable export feature in WPS Office for macOS. It lets you save the current table view in a format that is easier to continue working with, share, or archive.

Core capabilities include:

Export to Online Spreadsheet: send the current view to WPS cloud documents for continued online work.
Export to Local Spreadsheet: save the current view as an XLSX file for offline review or sharing.
Export to ZIP Package: export table data together with attachments when attachment fields need to be kept with the exported result.

This feature is useful for data backup, cross-tool sharing, and attachment archiving. It helps when you need to export only the records visible in the current view and choose a delivery format that fits the task.

Capability Summary	Export the current Bitable view as an online spreadsheet, a local XLSX file, or a ZIP package. ZIP export is suitable when attachment fields need to be kept with the exported result.	Excel supports Save As to other file formats, including .xlsx, text, PDF, and other workbook formats.	Google Sheets supports downloading spreadsheets in different formats and sending a copy as an attachment.	Notion supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, HTML, Markdown, and CSV, with database export centered on CSV.	Acrobat focuses on exporting PDFs to other formats and is designed around PDF workflows rather than native spreadsheet view export.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: One export flow covers cloud spreadsheet export, local XLSX export, and ZIP export with attachments for the current Bitable view.	Compared with WPS: Excel documentation focuses on workbook Save As workflows and does not describe attachment packaging for a Bitable-style view export.	Compared with WPS: Sheets supports general spreadsheet download and sharing, but the official page does not describe exporting table attachments together with the sheet.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports several export formats, but database export is mainly CSV or PDF oriented rather than spreadsheet-file delivery from a spreadsheet component.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more suitable for PDF conversion and does not provide the same native spreadsheet-view export path.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit when you need to export the current Bitable view directly for delivery or backup, especially when switching between online spreadsheets, local XLSX files, and ZIP packages with attachments. If your main task is workbook Save As, page export, or PDF conversion, the other tools may fit those target formats better.
