About This Feature

Overview

The Quick Access Toolbar in WPS on Windows is a shortcut area in the spreadsheet interface below the title bar. It provides direct access to common commands such as Save, Undo, and Redo, and it also lets you adjust display options and common command settings from its drop-down menu.

Core tasks include:

  • Use the default buttons to quickly run common actions such as Save, Undo, and Redo.
  • Use the toolbar menu to show or hide related interface elements, change the toolbar position, or add common commands.

This feature is useful for people who repeat common spreadsheet actions, want fewer menu switches, or prefer a more personalized workspace layout.
