Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Create Copy entry in the Quick Start area of the Smart Forms editor, where you can open the setup, adjust parameters, preview the result, and confirm the action.	Microsoft Forms lets you copy an existing form. The copied form keeps questions, format, and layout, but not existing responses.	Google official documentation explains that an existing form can be duplicated for content reuse, and Google Forms help also supports duplicating questions, images, or sections.	Notion lets you create database templates and generate new pages from them, and existing templates can also be duplicated.	Adobe Acrobat lets you copy form fields on the same page or across pages for PDF form reuse.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is part of the form editing flow, so copy-related setup can be completed during configuration. Distinct: It includes parameter setup and preview before confirmation.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on duplicating a full form, and existing responses are not carried into the new copy.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on form duplication and reusable editing elements, with copy workflows handled through form or Drive operations.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more template-oriented for page generation than a dedicated copy setup inside a form editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form field reuse rather than Smart Forms quick-start configuration.

Overall Conclusion
Create Copy in WPS is closely tied to the Smart Forms editing workflow, which makes it practical for configuring copy-related behavior before saving. Other products also support reuse, but they focus on full-form duplication, template-based page generation, or PDF field copying, so the fit depends on the workflow you need.
