About This Feature
Overview
Save As in WPS Office for iOS lets you save the current multidimensional spreadsheet as a new copy in another cloud location. It is useful for backup, archiving, branch editing, and sharing a separate version without replacing the original file.
Key capabilities include:
- Save the current multidimensional spreadsheet as a new copy.
- Choose a different cloud folder for the saved copy.
- Keep the original file in place while creating a separate working version on iPhone or iPad.
This workflow is useful when you need to preserve an earlier version, prepare a shareable copy, or organize files into different cloud folders.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In a multidimensional spreadsheet on iOS, WPS lets you open More and save the current sheet as a new copy in another cloud location. | In Excel for iPhone and iPad, Save As is replaced by Save a Copy for creating a separate file copy. | In Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad, users can make a copy of a file from the More menu. | Notion supports duplicating pages, but the workflow is page-oriented rather than a spreadsheet-style Save As flow. | Acrobat for iOS provides save-a-copy actions for PDF files through its overflow menu. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry is available from the current multidimensional spreadsheet workflow, and the copy can be saved directly to another cloud path for quick mobile backup. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft uses a Save a Copy workflow for Office files rather than the same spreadsheet context described here. | Compared with WPS: Google uses Make a copy for Sheets files, with a similar copy-first approach. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page duplication and workspace content than spreadsheet file copy workflows. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF copy management, so the file type and workflow are different. |

Overall Conclusion
