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.

    Lack of this feature is a deal breaker for my team and pushing us away from Microsoft.

  • Ginies commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree that there is no Save button. But when I enter data into a survey half-way and close the browser session and reopen, I am able to resume. I even tried to restart the computer and I was still able to resume.
    Is this because of cookies? Or..?

    I would much rather use Forms than Survey Monkey, but without this save feature, it has not been functioning well for my school.

  • Fredrik Sundlöf commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Need this. Kinda thought this was a obvious function and can not launch the form before this function is in place.

  • Robert Merritt commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I really don't mean to be irate or obnoxious, but seriously, how many people have to request an a feature before Microsoft either implements it, or at the very least inform us as to what the delay is. I understand there may be technical/engineering limitations, but please at least have the decency to let us know something! WE REALLY NEED THIS FEATURE, OR WE HAVE TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S TOOL!!! Thanks

    It appears "The save and continue later option" has been a consistent comment and request for almost 3 years now. This would greatly increase the usability of this platform. I'm so surprised microsoft have not addressed the lack of this feature yet.

    I would love to use Forms Pro and stay within the Microsoft ecosystem but the lack of this feature is a deal breaker.

  • Fiona McLean commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please, please, please add the save and continue later to Microsoft Forms, it would make carrying out Measurement Assessments so much easier and no stress to have to finish in one go.

    1461 votes! Come on MS, get it done! This is so obvious. If I have a survey that is long or requires someone to step away from it to find an answer, you are doomed. This is a no-brainer.

  • Suzanne Olander commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This feature and lack of attachments are really the only 2 blockers preventing my team from adopting for consistent use.

  • Karin H commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please add this feature. Forms is awesome but the ability for respondents to save and return is very important for our business.

  • Andrew commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I'm an Office 365 Adoption Delivery Manager, and this very question keep coming up, i have users who want to send a form/survey out to customers but to give them the ability to save and return as they may not have all the answers to the questions available.

    Has this at least been picked up by Microsoft and if not why not?

    This is a MUST have feature, without it, we will need to move to a different platform.

  • Dare commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please this is an absolutely important feature. Please consider adding as soon as possible

  • Shelli G commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Especially true if a team needs to collaborate to complete a survey, for example. MUST HAVE FEATURE.
