Overall Conclusion
WPS Handwritten Signature is closely aligned with smart form exam setup on macOS, especially when a form creator needs to configure and review the signature setting before publishing. Microsoft, Google, and Adobe official workflows are more centered on document signing, signature requests, or PDF signing, while Notion does not show a directly comparable native setup flow in its official help content.
