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.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Quick Access Toolbar below the title bar with default commands such as Save, Undo, and Redo, plus menu options for display, position, and command customization. | Microsoft Office provides a customizable Quick Access Toolbar with commands that are independent of the current ribbon tab, and users can add, remove, reorder, export, and import commands. | Google Docs editors provide a Tool finder at the top of the screen to find menu items and tools, but it is a search-based entry rather than a fixed customizable command bar. | Notion provides editing tools such as the + menu, block handle menu, and / commands for adding and changing content, but it does not provide an Office-style fixed Quick Access Toolbar. | Adobe Acrobat provides a Quick action toolbar that can be customized with frequently used tools and reordered for faster PDF work. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The default command entry is always visible in the spreadsheet window, and the drop-down menu combines display controls, position changes, and common command access in one place. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers deeper customization such as export and import, but the setup path is more option-driven. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on finding tools and menu actions than keeping a fixed set of always-visible command buttons. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on block editing and content creation workflows instead of a fixed toolbar for spreadsheet actions. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's toolbar is centered on PDF tasks rather than spreadsheet editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want common spreadsheet commands such as Save, Undo, and Redo to stay visible in the window and remain easy to reach, WPS Quick Access Toolbar fits that workflow well. Compared with search-based entries or content-first editors, it focuses more on fixed command access for everyday spreadsheet work.

| 3 | Adjust the interface layout | Users who prefer a personalized workspace | The toolbar position does not match personal habits | Change the toolbar position from the drop-down menu |
| 4 | Keep common commands together | High-frequency users | Common commands are spread across different menus | Add or remove common commands from the toolbar menu |
| 5 | Manage ribbon visibility | Users on smaller screens | The ribbon takes up too much editing space | Use menu options to show or hide related interface elements |
