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.
