About This Feature
Overview
Switch Personal View helps you switch between a personal view and a public view in WPS Bitable, so collaborators can look at the same data in different ways without changing the underlying records. For users searching for a spreadsheet view switch workflow in WPS Office, this feature keeps personal display preferences separate from shared team views.
Core capabilities include:
- Find the target view in the left-side data table panel and open its More options menu.
- Switch between a personal view and a public view.
- Keep collaboration on the same data source while changing only the current view scope.
This feature is useful for team collaboration, role-based data review, and temporary personal filtering. It helps you adjust how data is displayed without changing the underlying data itself.

Compare with Alternatives

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you switch a view in Bitable between personal view and public view from the left-side data table panel. A personal view is visible only to the current user, while a public view is visible to collaborators who have viewing permission. | Microsoft Lists supports personal views and public views, and users can switch among available views from the view options menu. | Google Sheets supports basic filters and filter views. Filter views can be saved, named, and switched when different people need different ways to look at the same sheet. | Notion databases support creating and switching between multiple views, and filters or sorts can be saved either for everyone or only for the current user. | Adobe Acrobat mainly supports view-only document sharing and review permissions for PDFs rather than structured data view switching. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct personal-view/public-view switch inside the same Bitable workflow, and this feature is available without membership. | Compared with WPS: Similar personal/public view concepts are available, but the workflow is centered on list and library views. | Compared with WPS: Filter views support personal viewing needs, but they are framed as filter management rather than a direct public-view switch. | Compared with WPS: View settings are flexible, but personal and shared behavior is distributed across view and filter settings. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better suited to document sharing and review than collaborative data-view switching. |
| Official Source | — | Create, change, or delete a view of a list or library | Manage data visibility with filters | Views, filters, sorts & groups | Share documents for viewing in Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion
WPS focuses this feature on collaborative Bitable scenarios where one data source needs both personal and shared viewing modes. Compared with list, sheet, and document-based alternatives, the entry point is more direct for switching view visibility inside the same workspace.
