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.

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

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

    Hello,

    We started using Forms quite intensively in the company but we got into a disappointing issue: apparently the answers are not saved in case the user cannot complete the form and needs to continue in a later stage.

    I could not find a solution, I believe a "Save and continue later" button is an important feature for a tool like this.

    Let me know if you can provide help.

    Thanks.

    this would be great ! some surveys can get long and may not be finished in one go. the ability to save and go back to it would be awesome.

    Currently unable to integrate Power Automate and other apps with forms because there is no save for later feature. Please add this feature asap!

    I concur- this is the reason I cannot use this for my needs. It would make sense since it is stored in teams anyway.

    We would like to use this as a checklist for our trainees. They rarely complete the training in one sitting. This would be a great tool.

    Absolutely need a save and continue later function, I may not be able to use this product for my business as often our survey respondents are time poor and need to be able to return to it later.

    I'll add my confirmation of the need for a SAVE & CONTINUE functionality in Forms/Pro...our surveys are complex, long and require the respondent to pause the survey, gather information over hours or days and then re-start the survey from where they left off.
    Right now, they'd have to respond DONT KNOW and we end up with junk responses.
    I'd like to add an option to ANSWER LATER, and have the respondent provided with a "Check list" via email which he then researches and comes back to complete the questions marked ANSWER LATER and finalise the survey.
    Maybe this is a bit too much to ask.Perhaps Forms Pro is the wrong product...

    This is a great feature suggestion. However, please do not limit the architecture/usefullness of this feature to one type of user (students). The same limitations currently apply to anyone trying to complete a form, only to realize they need to "save for later".

    Save & continue would be a great feature - any update on if this will be implemented

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It would be a great Improvement, Sometimes it is not possible to finish any forms in one session.
