About This Feature

Overview

After Submission is a smart form configuration feature in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to define the feedback, confirmation flow, and effect range after a respondent submits a form. In the form editor, you can open this option from the Form section and complete the related setup.

Its main tasks include:

Open the After Submission settings entry from the form editor.
Configure related options and preview the submission result.
Save the changes and publish a new version when needed so new responses follow the updated setup.

This feature is useful for surveys, event registration forms, and internal request forms where creators want to provide clearer post-submission feedback and verify the result before publishing.

Capability Summary	In the smart form editor, WPS provides an After Submission entry where you can open the settings panel, adjust related options, preview the result, and save the setup so new responses follow the updated configuration after publishing.	Microsoft Forms lets creators customize the thank-you message, hide the option to submit another response, and allow respondents to save or print their response after submission.	Google Forms lets creators edit the confirmation message after submission and control whether respondents can edit responses or view a response summary.	Notion Forms lets creators customize the submit screen with a confirmation title, confirmation body, and button text, and preview the submission experience.	Adobe Experience Manager Forms lets form authors configure a Thank You Page and redirect users to a specified page after submission.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The settings entry stays inside the form editing flow, making it easier to move between editing, previewing, saving, and publishing. Distinct: It can be used together with version publishing so updated submission behavior applies to new responses at the right time.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on thank-you messages and response receipts, and the cited official page does not describe a native redirect to a custom URL after submission.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on confirmation messaging and response options, with post-submission flow centered on message display.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports submit-screen text customization, but some advanced logic depends on paid plans, and form creation and customization are handled on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe documents a clearer redirect-page setup after submission, but the workflow is more oriented to enterprise form and site integration scenarios.

Overall Conclusion
WPS After Submission fits workflows where form editing, preview, saving, and publishing are managed in one smart form editor. If you mainly need a confirmation message, Microsoft, Google, and Notion all provide official options. If you need a documented redirect page after submission, Adobe provides a more explicit official setup.
