To construct the map just use the obvious map
between the presentations for $\Omega_{S/R}$ and $\Omega_{S'/R'}$.

The result is simply that $f\text{d}g \in \Omega_{S/R}$ is
mapped to $\varphi(f)\text{d}\varphi(g)$.

We urge the reader to find their own (hopefully different) proof
of this lemma.

$a' = \varphi(a)$ is in the image of $\beta$ and we're done as well.
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Second proof]
We will use the universal property of modules of differentials
given in Lemma \ref{lemma-universal-omega} without further mention.

\medskip\noindent
In (\ref{equation-functorial-omega}) let $R'' = S \times_{S'} R'$.
Then we have following diagram:
$$
\xymatrix{
S \ar[r] & S \ar[r] & S' \\
R \ar[r] \ar[u] & R'' \ar[r] \ar[u] & R' \ar[u]
}
$$
Let $M$ be an $S$-module. It follows immediately from the definitions that
an $R$-derivation $D : S \to M$ is an $R''$-derivation if and only if
it annihilates the elements in the image of $R'' \to S$. The universal
property translates this into the statement that the natural map
$\Omega_{S/R} \to \Omega_{S/R''}$ is surjective with kernel generated
as an $S$-module by the image of $R''$.

\medskip\noindent
From the previous paragraph we see that it suffices to show that
$\Omega_{S/R} \to \Omega_{S'/R'}$ is an isomorphism
when $S \to S'$ is surjective
and $R = S \times_{S'} R'$. Let $M'$ be an $S'$-module. Observe that any
$R'$-derivation $D' : S' \to M'$ gives an $R$-derivation by precomposing
with $S \to S'$. Conversely, suppose $M$ is an $S$-module and $D : S \to M$
is an $R$-derivation. If $i \in I$, then there exist an $a \in R$ with
$\alpha(a) = i$ (as $R = S \times_{S'} R'$). It follows that $D(i) = 0$
and hence $0 = D(is) = iD(s)$ for all $s \in S$. Thus the image of $D$
is contained in the submodule $M' \subset M$ of elements annihilated by $I$
and moreover the induced map $S \to M'$ factors through an $R'$-derivation
$S' \to M'$. It is an exercise to use the universal property to see that
this means $\Omega_{S/R} \to \Omega_{S'/R'}$ is an isomorphism; details
omitted.
\end{proof}
