About This Feature

Overview

After Submission is a configuration step in the File Collection scenario of WPS smart forms on macOS. It is used to define what users see or what follow-up handling applies after a form is submitted. After opening this setting, you can adjust related options, preview the result, and confirm the changes.

Core tasks include:

Open the After Submission setting and enter the post-submission configuration panel for File Collection.
Adjust related options in the pop-up panel for the post-submission experience.
Preview the result and confirm the settings so the updated configuration can continue to be used in the form workflow.

This feature is useful for file collection, document submission, registration, and other workflows that need a clear next step after submission.
