About This Feature
Overview
Submit Button Settings is a built-in Smart Forms setting in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to manage submit-button-related options and confirm the final result before saving. When you create or edit a form, you can open Form in the form editor and then select Submit Button Settings.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Submit Button Settings entry from the form editing interface.
- Adjust submit-button-related options in the settings panel.
- Preview the result and confirm saving before publishing.
This feature is useful for surveys, registration forms, feedback forms, and other data-collection scenarios that need a clear submission entry. It helps you review the submit-button setup before publishing and reduce mismatches between the form design and the final responder view.

| Capability Summary | Lets you open Submit Button Settings from the Form section in the Smart Forms editor, then adjust options, preview the result, and save the change. | Microsoft Forms provides a settings pane for response scope, response timing, repeat submission limits, and custom thank-you messages. | Google Forms lets you adjust response settings in Settings and edit the confirmation message shown after submission. | Notion Forms supports form customization such as question types, required fields, anonymous submissions, and public sharing. | Adobe Acrobat lets you add buttons to PDF forms and assign submit actions and appearance options to those buttons. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure submit-button-related behavior directly during form editing, WPS keeps that path close to the form creation workflow. Other products also support submission or response-related settings, but their official guidance focuses more on overall response settings, confirmation messages, or PDF button actions.

| 3 | Building a teaching feedback form | Teachers and trainers | The submission action needs to be clear before release | Configure the settings in the panel and preview the result |
| 4 | Maintaining a customer intake form | Business staff | It is hard to confirm whether a change has taken effect | Preview before saving and then confirm the update |
