+By default, `<SimpleFormIterator>` focuses the first input of a newly added row.
+This behavior comes from `react-hook-form`'s [`useFieldArray`](https://react-hook-form.com/docs/usefieldarray) `append()` method.

+You can disable this behavior by setting the `disableAutoFocus` prop.

 You can override the style of the root element (a `<div>` element) as well as those of the inner components thanks to the `sx` property (see [the `sx` documentation](./SX.md) for syntax and examples).
