About This Feature

Overview

After Submission is a setting in the Questionnaire section of the WPS Office Smart Forms editor on Windows. It is used to manage what respondents see or experience after they submit a questionnaire. After you configure it, you can present a confirmation result after submission and use preview and publishing steps to check the final effect.

Core tasks include:

Open the After Submission entry and enter the post-submission settings area.
Adjust related settings in the panel and confirm the result through preview.
Save or confirm the settings so the updated post-submission effect applies to later responses.

This feature fits scenarios such as event registration, information collection, internal records, and feedback questionnaires. It helps form owners continue the communication flow after a respondent submits a form.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Smart Forms editor, WPS provides an After Submission entry inside the Questionnaire workflow, where you can open the panel, adjust related settings, preview the result, and save the change.	Microsoft Forms lets you customize the thank you message in Settings, hide Submit another response, and allow response receipts after submission.	Google Forms lets you edit the confirmation message shown after a form is submitted.	Notion Forms lets you configure the submit screen, including the confirmation title and confirmation body, and adjust access to a submission after it is sent.	Adobe Acrobat Sign provides web forms that can be shared by link or embedded on a site for repeated submissions.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry stays inside the questionnaire editing flow, making it easier to move between editing, previewing, and confirming settings in one place.	Compared with WPS: It supports direct thank-you message customization, but the public guidance focuses mainly on the settings pane.	Compared with WPS: It offers a clear confirmation-message setting, with the workflow centered on the form settings page.	Compared with WPS: It supports configurable confirmation title and body and connects responses to a database, with creation and customization focused on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: The selected Acrobat Sign page confirms web form support, but it does not clearly describe post-submission message customization on that page.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is well suited to users who already build questionnaires inside the Smart Forms editor and want to complete post-submission settings in the same editing flow. Microsoft, Google, and Notion all provide official post-submission confirmation options, while the selected Adobe page is clearer about web form creation and sharing than about confirmation-message customization.
