Edit Response
Allow responders to edit responses after submission. For example, if a student is taking a quiz and is unable to finish before the end of class, the student can submit the quiz to save their answers and then continue the quiz during the next class period.

Be great if we could be able to edit the responses as admin...it's a bit silly that we can't.

You could also consider branching in Lists

disappointing that you can't edit a form once submitted. Its annoying because now we have to have google forms as well as MS.

+1 to the sentiment of being able to edit:
1. Your own response
2. Other responses (as form administrator)I know this can be done via the spreadsheet, but it is not quite the same.
A multi-part form loses its effectiveness if this cannot be managed via the form itself.

This would be great to enable updating the process of applications. I.e. tracking any type of application where the user has to keep accesing the record to update with dates letters have been issed etc when followiing a multi step process that needs to be tracked

I would like to use the form for requests and have the ability to track whether the request is open, in progress or complete. I would be nice for this to be an admin feature and be able to modify the status to keep track of requests.

Idea of "Nov 22, 2016" and most of the time under top 20 of the most voted ideas.
Do I miss something or is the purpose of this voting to implement all ideas with highest voting first? I think so. But I am wondering why still so many ideas which have top voting are opened up for several years! Also some ideas, like this one, still miss a comment of MS developers. :-( -

Essential for complex forms where we need users to 'save and edit later' options. We have a form that can have 80 fields depending on responses to other questions. Users may not have all the answers and would need time to obtain.

Should have both... the original person should have the option to edit their responses and the person who created (or has access) should have the ability to edit responses. I have people send me messages all the time to change a response to a registration I send out using Survey Monkey. I NEED THIS AVAILABLE or I cannot change from survey monkey.

If google has this feature, Microsoft should have the feature as well. It's pretty useless without being able to edit after the fact. At the very least it should create an Excel online that can be updated.

How is this not #1 or #2 on the list? Almost unusable without this.

Be able to edit would be a really great feature which gives room for much more use cases.

An edit option would make this much more functional in an education setting.

This feature would be a great benefit and make MS Forms usable for a lot of more use cases. We need this! Also google has it.

I'm using Forms for Monitoring and Evaluation data collection. Without this support to edit response, Forms is useless for data collection except for questionnaires.Form is excel is useful though, but this feature needs to be there.

We use MS Forms quite heavily to get feedback around the business across different projects, departments, etc., and it is a pain when you cannot edit a submission, especially when you have set required questions but you only want to add something to a long text field.

In my department we use MS forms to collect information that may change after its initial submission or be incomplete at initial submission. Adding this feature, would make this a much more workable tool. Perhaps the form creator could enable such a feature in the way of an automated response with a link to edit response. This way, forms could continue to be used for creating tests. Sorry getting ahead of myself with envisioning how it may work...
