About This Feature

Overview

Other Settings is a configuration area in WPS Office for Mac smart forms. It is used to manage additional controls before or after a form is published. You can open Other Settings from the Form section in the form editor, adjust options, preview the result, and then save or publish the changes.

This feature is useful when you want to review a form before release, confirm that extra settings match your collection rules, check the updated result in preview, or make sure a new version takes effect after saving.
