About This Feature

Overview

Switch Personal View lets you switch between personal views and public views in a multi-dimensional table on macOS. A personal view is visible only to the current user, while a public view is visible to collaborators who have viewing permission. This makes it possible to present the same data source in different ways without changing the shared underlying data.

Core capabilities include:

Switch view visibility between personal and public views.
Keep personal display settings separate from other collaborators.
Work from the same shared data source while using different views.

This feature is useful for personal task organization, team dashboards, and role-based data display.

Capability Summary	Lets you switch between personal and public views in a multi-dimensional table. Personal views are visible only to the current user, while public views are visible to collaborators with permission.	Microsoft Lists supports personal views and public views, and users can switch views from the View options menu.	Google Sheets supports filter views that can apply only to your own view, and users can switch between saved filter views.	Notion databases support creating and switching between multiple views, and some display changes can be visible only to you.	Acrobat mainly provides document viewing and sharing workflows rather than personal/public data-view switching for structured tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS directly separates personal-only and collaboration-visible views inside the same multi-dimensional table, which fits both individual organization and team sharing.	Compared with WPS: It provides personal and public views, but the workflow is centered on Microsoft Lists.	Compared with WPS: Its closest match is filter views for personal filtering, with less emphasis on switching between personal and shared table views.	Compared with WPS: It offers many database view types, but the only-for-you behavior is more focused on certain display settings.	Compared with WPS: It is oriented toward PDF viewing and sharing instead of structured data view management.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to separate a personal working view from a team-visible view inside the same multi-dimensional table, WPS provides a direct workflow for that scenario. Microsoft, Google, and Notion offer related view or filtering features with different product focuses, while Adobe Acrobat is more suitable for document viewing and sharing.
