Rearrange Window is a built-in viewing feature in WPS Spreadsheets for Windows. It helps you arrange multiple open workbook windows in horizontal, vertical, or cascaded layouts so you can view and edit more than one file at the same time.

Core capabilities include:

Rearranging all open workbook windows from one command.

Capability Summary	In WPS Spreadsheets, you can use View > Rearrange Window to arrange multiple open workbook windows in horizontal, vertical, or cascaded layouts.	Microsoft Support describes side-by-side viewing and split panes in Word and Excel for working with more than one document or spreadsheet at the same time.	Google Docs Editors Help explains creating, viewing, and downloading files in browser-based editors, but it does not describe a desktop-style command for rearranging multiple open workbook windows together.	Notion Help describes opening a new Notion window, opening pages in new windows, and using tabs, which supports workspace navigation rather than spreadsheet window arrangement.	Adobe Acrobat provides Compare Files and a side-by-side review mode for PDF comparison, focusing on document differences instead of workbook window arrangement.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct spreadsheet command for rearranging multiple open workbook windows in one place, with three layout options for quick comparison work.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft highlights side-by-side viewing and split panes, but the cited page does not present the same single rearrange command with horizontal, vertical, and cascaded layout choices.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on cloud-based file access and collaboration, and the cited help page does not describe a dedicated multi-window arrangement command for open spreadsheet windows.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports new windows and tabs for pages, but its official guidance is centered on page navigation instead of spreadsheet workbook layout management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for PDF comparison workflows, while WPS is more aligned with arranging multiple spreadsheet workbooks during editing and review.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to arrange multiple WPS spreadsheet workbooks on a Windows desktop, Rearrange Window offers a more direct workflow inside the spreadsheet interface. Other products support side-by-side viewing, new windows, or comparison workflows, but their official guidance focuses on different use cases such as browser collaboration, page navigation, or PDF review.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable users	Main challenge	How Rearrange Window helps
1	Cross-workbook data entry	Finance and admin staff	Switching between files slows down entry work	Arrange multiple workbooks and keep them visible together
2	Data checking	Operations and analysts	Comparing values across files takes extra clicks	Use horizontal or vertical layouts for side-by-side review
3	Content review	Teachers and office staff	Reviewing several spreadsheets is less convenient in a single window	Use cascaded or tiled layouts to keep files accessible
4	Manual layout adjustment	General office users	Default window positions may not fit the screen well	Rearrange first, then resize each window manually
5	Short-term multi-file work	Everyday spreadsheet users	Several files need to be checked at the same time	Open the View tab and organize windows quickly
