Capability Summary	Provides a Filling Settings entry inside the poll module of Smart Forms, where creators can open the settings panel, adjust options, preview the result, and save changes.	Microsoft Forms provides a settings pane for who can respond, whether names are recorded, one response per person, start and end dates, and other response controls.	Google Forms lets creators manage responses, stop accepting responses, set a close date or response limit, and configure response receipts.	Notion Forms supports sharing scope, anonymous responses, submission access, required questions, and some conditional logic on paid plans.	Adobe Acrobat Sign Web Forms focuses on published web forms with options such as email verification, additional participants, CCs, and save-progress controls.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Filling Settings sits directly in the poll creation flow, making it convenient to configure, preview, and confirm in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: response controls are broader for organization-based distribution, but the workflow is centered on a separate settings pane.	Compared with WPS: response management is emphasized around Responses and Settings, with more focus on collection controls after publishing.	Compared with WPS: forms are tightly connected to databases, while some advanced logic depends on Business or Enterprise plans and editing is mainly on desktop and web.	Compared with WPS: the workflow is oriented toward signing and web-form administration rather than a lightweight poll editing flow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Filling Settings is closely integrated with the poll editing flow, which is useful when you want to adjust options and confirm the result before sharing a form. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each place more emphasis on response governance, database workflows, or signing-oriented web forms, so the right choice depends on the form scenario.
