Allow form respondents to save and continue to fill the form later

Allow students to save results without submitting test for students with accommodations to finish later. Students with extended time sometimes have to finish at a later time and the way it is set up now they have to restart the test each time.

    Very disappointed that this is not a feature already given the time Forms has been out....

  • Emily Ehret commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, yes, and yes. How often during remote learning my students start work and have to pick it up later, this is a MUST.

    Any comments from the Forms team on this one?

    In these times more and more are turning to digital options for learning. Any workaround from forms devs or superusers would also be appreciated (browser extensions to save input in forms etc.).

    I really want to use forms for my students to do a Film Study Guide. It will take them multiple lessons to complete so I really want a save and continue feature.

    Please add. When use for larger surveys, it is not always possible to have a user complete in one logon. Having to do all over is not practical.

    This is a must for long forms and would open up so many ways to integrate with Flow/Automate to do things like send completion reminders or other analytical needs. This also seems particularly ready to implement considering the MS user integration that is already ordered in Microsoft 365.

    I have spent a considerable time on creating and selling the forms to other lecturers only to find this huge failing in the app. Also fails the Teams use ability. Back to fallible forms until Microsoft sorts this app out!

    This would be fantastic to add. We would like to use forms for meeting request within our organization, however we do not have the information upfront and need to submit later. The ability to go back and add additional information to a form later would be nice.

    Would use forms more but need the ability to save and continue as some forms require updating daily but at the moment have to creat a seperate form for each day.
    Need to sort this Microsoft.

    Couldn't agree more, save button for students needed.

    Also, be nice to allow students to continue an accidentally submitted quiz ...

    What an abject failure by Microsoft - this VERY CRITICAL feature to Save and Edit MS Forms has been requested well over 3 years ago. Still no response from Microsoft. Sad.

    For any longer Form/Survey, this feature is essential. We need our people to complete the forms while on the sales floor and this of course means that they are often interrupted and might need to continue responding to the form another day. Not being able to do so means that they simply wait to respond until they are 'sure' they have time - and that doesn't happen very often.

    This is a must have! I'm receiving tons of claims of the students. To education sector, this feature is essencial.
