Should I Set Columns or....?

Hi everyone…
I have an app I’m working on that allows different students to edit data in the app. Up until now, ive just had an edit screen for editing the backend of the questions. I have 7 cities and when the data is edited, it pushes to the sheet. Now my question is… what is the difference between a user simply clicking done after editing a set of data and using the Set Columns action when the data is submitted? Are there any advantages or disadvantages of using Set Columns?
Here is a short video i made to show what i am referencing…

Thanks for your help on this...

If you use a set column action on submit of the edit form, you would in essence be setting those column values twice. The Done button already updates the sheet, so unless you need some additional actions AFTER the sheet has been updated, then there is no need to use the set columns actions. That action has an endless variety of uses, but it all depends on your needs. In your particular case. The Done button is all you need to update the sheet.
