Capability Summary	In Smart Forms quiz scenarios, WPS provides a Basic Settings entry for opening the quiz setup area, adjusting parameters, previewing the result, and saving changes.	Microsoft Forms lets users adjust quiz settings such as responders, start and end dates, timers, shuffled questions, and result display options.	Google Forms lets users turn a form into a quiz and manage answer keys, points, respondent settings, and grade release options.	Notion Forms connects questions to database properties and supports required questions, descriptions, sharing controls, and some advanced logic on paid plans.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form field settings and field properties for interactive PDF forms rather than online quiz workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps opening the settings entry, adjusting parameters, previewing, and saving within one quiz editing flow on macOS.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms places more emphasis on responder scope, timing windows, and quiz response policies.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms places more emphasis on grading, answer feedback, and score release controls.	Compared with WPS: Notion Forms is more database-driven and may require more setup around properties and workspace permissions.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF field configuration instead of a quiz-oriented online form flow.
