About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a Smart Forms configuration feature in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to set up and manage signature-related options during form editing. You can open the Form section from the left panel in the form editor, find Handwritten Signature, and then edit settings, preview the result, and save the configuration.

This feature fits form scenarios that need signature confirmation, approval records, or on-site completion. After setup, the form can provide a clearer signature entry area for later publishing and use.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to add a signature field during form editing, WPS is closer to a form configuration workflow. Microsoft, Google, and Adobe all provide signature-related features, but they are more oriented to document signing, PDF signing, or signature request workflows. Notion’s official pages do not present a native handwritten signature field for this scenario.
