About This Feature

Smart Form Creation is the entry point for starting a new smart form in the WPS smart form editor on Windows. It is used from the Quick Start area to begin a new form setup flow.

Core capabilities include:

Open the Smart Form Creation entry and enter the related editing area.
Set parameters in the pop-up panel and preview the result.

Capability Summary	Start a new smart form from the Quick Start area in the smart form editor, then continue with setup and preview.	Microsoft Forms lets users create surveys, quizzes, and polls, add question types, and preview the form.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the creation path inside the editor workflow, which is useful when you want to start, configure, and preview in one place on Windows.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms is more centered on a separate web form service rather than an editor-side quick-start path.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms is more focused on browser-based form creation and response analysis.	Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-connected forms and workspace collaboration in desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on signable web forms and e-signature workflows than general editor-based form setup.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to begin a new form directly inside a Windows editing workflow and continue with setup and preview in the same place, WPS offers a more concentrated path. If your team mainly works with browser-based form services, database-driven collaboration, or e-signature web forms, the other products may fit those workflows better.
