Capability Summary	Rename supports tables, views, and dashboards in a multidimensional table, with both a menu entry and a direct double-click entry.	Microsoft Lists supports creating, changing, or deleting list views to organize list data.	Google Sheets official documentation for the Sheet object notes that common operations include renaming a sheet.	Notion database views can be renamed from the view name menu while managing different database layouts.	Adobe Acrobat provides page renumbering for PDFs, but it does not describe an equivalent multidimensional table object rename workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one sidebar area can rename tables, views, and dashboards; Distinct: users can choose either the More Options menu or double-click rename.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on list views rather than a single rename flow across tables, views, and dashboards.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on spreadsheet sheet titles, so the scope is closer to worksheet tab naming.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports renaming a database view, but the official help content centers on view settings instead of one unified left-sidebar rename flow for multiple object types.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's official page is about PDF page numbering, so the object type is different from multidimensional table items.

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is to rename tables, views, and dashboards inside one multidimensional table workspace, WPS provides a more direct path in one sidebar area. Other products offer related rename actions for list views, worksheet tabs, database views, or PDF page labels, but the object model and workflow are different.
