Capability Summary	Provides a grading entry inside the Smart Forms Exam module, where you can configure parameters, preview the effect, and save the setup for exam scoring management.	Microsoft Forms lets you review quiz response summaries, grade per person or per question, add feedback, post scores, and export results to Excel.	Google Forms lets you turn a form into a quiz, set answer keys and point values, grade by individual response or by question, and control when grades are released.	Notion Forms focuses on collecting form responses into databases, with question setup, preview, sharing, and response analysis. Its official help page does not describe a native quiz grading workflow.	Adobe Acrobat focuses more on online grading comments, fillable forms, and assignment collection for PDF-based workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The grading entry is placed directly in the Smart Forms exam setup flow, so setup, preview, and saving stay in one editing path. Distinct: The exam configuration flow is more centralized.	Compared with WPS: grading is centered on the quiz results area, with response review, feedback, and score posting.	Compared with WPS: answer keys, points, and feedback are available, but grading is mainly handled through quiz settings and the responses area.	Compared with WPS: it is better suited to general data collection and database workflows, and the official page does not describe native auto-grading or exam score release.	Compared with WPS: it is more focused on PDF review, commenting, and form distribution than on native online exam grading setup.
