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.

It would make the whole solution significantly more usable and the user experience, lowering of exasperation would be huge

Any ideas on other third party software or form builders that offer this function. I am desperately in need of such a feature.

An essential function of any online form solution.

How is there still NO STATUS on this request. Forms team, it is essential, especially in a business setting, that users are able to save an unfinished survey/questionnaire/whatever and return to it at a later time. We run a weekly survey that is used to evaluate business decisions in a weekly meeting and while there are simple choice questions, there are also feedback questions that require some thoughtful responses. A common occurrence for a respondent is to answer the choice questions and then go back at a later time to complete the free form answers. This is not possible and thus, Forms is unusable in our most common application of the tool. In other words, we can't use Forms b/c this simple workflow is not provided for.
This should at the very least have a current status of "WORKING ON IT", yet there doesn't seem to be any action here. Why is that?

This is near-essential for longer forms. We'd love to use longer forms to help us move away from emailing out Word attachments and then having to copy-paste data into a database - but really, without a save-and-continue feature, we're struggling to get the balance right.

This is really required for long forms. We're having to break forms into multiple ones so that users can at least submit them (save) without losing data.

This is a requirement if it is to be used for collecting a lot of data and particularly for things like checklists which might happen over a period of time.

846 Votes as of 15th July. Any news on whether this will be added to the roadmap? Otherwise I'll need to look for alternative approaches like developing a PowerApp or just use Google Forms as an interim.

I can't believe this has not been addressed by Microsoft in over 2 years. Ability to save as a draft and submit later is a MUST.

If this tool is to become a better form solution you have to implement this right away.
Thanks a lot,Danila

I need to be able to offer this function - to save and continue later - to my clients.

We were looking at using Forms to occasionally get quite detailed feedback from our staff. A save and continue later feature would allow us to do this.

Absolutely a requirement to make forms useful for anything more than simple surveys.

This is obviously a very demanded feature all over as is apparent from this post and it has been more than 2 years since this was suggested. I hope they're implementing it already.
Meanwhile, is there an alternative to this? Can we somehow save the incomplete form in Sharepoint list and load the data from the Sharepoint-list row the next time that user logs in? (Just a suggestion)
