Capability Summary	Provides a Contacts entry inside the Smart Forms editor, so you can open the Form module, adjust contact-related settings, and preview the result before confirming.	Microsoft Forms lets you control who can respond and supports recorded names, one response per person, response windows, and response receipts.	Google Forms supports publishing, response access control, one response per user, editing after submit, and custom confirmation messages.	Notion Forms connects forms to databases and supports sharing scope, anonymous responses, post-submission access, and form creation and configuration on desktop and web apps.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms focus on public forms and signing flows, with participant setup, countersigners, public links, and signature fields.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Contacts entry is part of the same form editing flow, which is convenient for setup, preview, and confirmation in one place.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on response scope and receipt controls than on a dedicated contact configuration entry in the editing flow.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on publishing, sharing, and response rules, while contact handling is usually managed through sharing and responder settings.	Compared with WPS: It has stronger database integration, but some form creation and customization actions are limited to desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: It is more focused on signable web forms and agreement routing than on standard contact configuration in a general form editor.
