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.

    Yes please this will be a very useful feature to allow you to not have to complete the form in one go

    Very needed. I don't know how you can have a form app that doesn't do this. Most others I use do.

    2 and half years since this feature request was raised and 2,861 votes later but no indication that this feature is being considered. Please provide an update MS Forms team.

    HI MS Forms,

    Are you really understanding and processing the comments and feedback given by the users. SAVE AS DRAFT and EDIT options should be made available at earliest.

    Thanks.

    Having a way for students to save their progress to work on later is a MUST. Please create this feature ASAP!

    we want to use MS forms to complete audit documents and it would be much better if you could save and return before submitting

    In my opinion this is a must have in every Form and Survey tool. At least keep the replies saved per section! Feels like Microsoft is in the stone age compared to others in that matter...
    What about when you send surveys to users in countries with unstable internet?

    Yes, please - formative assessment could be so well achieved if this was possible! Teaching remotely is missing that thread of continuity, and such a feature would make a huge difference.

    It is important that teachers have the option to allow students to retain information in a form over multiple sessions. Some teachers use this as a way for students to hand in work and it is very discouraging for the student who is unable to finish in one session, to have to start all over again.

    Even if you made a choice for the creator to allow respondents to come back later to finish or to finish in one sitting.

    Microsoft please fix the bug when you refresh the microsoft forms page all your writing and answers disappear.

    My school is using Microsoft forms as a way to complete assignments online. We would really appreciate it if you could save your stuff, instead of working in one sitting because that could be really discouraging.

    I'm using it as a checklist for tracking deployments and it would be nice if the technician can use forms to save progress and go back to on a particular deployment.

    very important feature. Students may lose internet connection during a quiz, and their work is lost without this option. Also, for long quizzes, teachers may need two sessions for students to complete them, and this would allow them to save what students have done to finish in the next session.
