About This Feature
Overview
New Smart Form is a built-in creation feature in WPS Office Forms on macOS. It is used to start a new form from the Quick Start area and complete the initial setup. It fits scenarios where you need to build a collection form, survey, or business intake form quickly.
Core tasks include:
- Open the New Smart Form entry: enter the creation flow from the Quick Start area in the form editor.
