About This Feature

Overview

After Submission is a built-in Smart Forms setting in WPS Office for Mac that manages what happens after a respondent submits a form. It helps form creators control the post-submission experience, review the result before use, and publish updates when needed so later submissions follow the new setup.

The main tasks include:

Open the After Submission settings from the form editor.
Adjust and preview the post-submission result.
Save the configuration and publish it when the updated setup should apply to new responses.

This workflow is useful for surveys, event registration forms, internal request forms, and other collection scenarios that need a clear response after submission.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an After Submission entry inside the Smart Forms editor, where you can open the settings panel, preview the result, save changes, and in some cases publish them so later submissions use the updated setup.	Microsoft Forms supports response receipts after submission, allowing eligible respondents to receive a confirmation and print or download a PDF copy of their responses.	Google Forms lets form owners edit the confirmation message shown after a form is submitted.	Notion Forms lets creators configure the submit screen, including the confirmation title and confirmation body, and optionally receive an email copy of each submission.	Adobe Acrobat Sign Web Forms focuses on agreement completion and notifications after a web form is submitted and completed.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The post-submission settings entry stays inside the form editing flow, making it easier to adjust, preview, and save in one place. Distinct: Some changes can be published so new submissions use the updated setup.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes receipts and downloadable response records; the public guidance is less focused on an editor-centered preview-and-publish flow for post-submission display.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes confirmation message editing; the public guidance is less focused on previewing and publishing post-submission settings.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers submit-screen customization and email-copy options, while some advanced logic is tied to paid plans and form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented toward signing workflows and completion notifications rather than lightweight post-submission messaging for general survey-style forms.

Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical fit when you want to manage post-submission behavior directly inside the form editing workflow, with preview and save steps kept close together. Other products also provide post-submission capabilities, but they focus more on receipts, confirmation text, or signing notifications.
