|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the Smart Forms editor under Questionnaire, WPS provides an After Submission entry where you can open the panel, adjust related options, preview the result, and confirm the setup. | Microsoft Forms supports a custom thank-you message and lets owners control whether respondents can save or edit responses, submit another response, or view and print a response after submission. | Google Forms lets owners edit the confirmation message shown after submission and control options such as response editing and response summaries. | Notion Forms lets you configure the submit screen, including the submit button text, confirmation title, and confirmation body, and also manage post-submission access settings. | Adobe Acrobat official help focuses on distributing and collecting PDF web forms by email or an internal server. The cited Acrobat page does not describe a native post-submission confirmation page setup similar to a survey thank-you screen. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry is placed directly in the questionnaire editing flow, so you can move from editing to post-submission setup and preview in one path. Distinct: It is convenient for checking the submission result before publishing the form. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms offers broader thank-you-page response controls, while WPS keeps the setup path close to the questionnaire editing flow described here. | Compared with WPS: Google Forms centers the post-submit experience mainly on the confirmation message and related response settings. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers submit-screen customization, but its help notes that creating and customizing forms is limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is oriented more toward PDF form distribution and collection, and the cited page does not present a comparable native survey-style after-submission setup. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS After Submission on macOS fits users who want to configure the post-submit experience inside the same questionnaire editing flow. Other products also support post-submit messaging or response handling, but they emphasize different areas such as thank-you-page controls, confirmation messages, submit-screen customization, or PDF distribution workflows.
