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.

While Microsoft Forms has some nice features when it comes to Formative and Summative Assessments, this is a MAJOR miss. Being a faculty member and explaining to a student why the past hour of their exam work just disappeared because of any technical glitch (WiFi disconnection, accidentally closing the browser, trying to turn it in 30 seconds after the close time). Now that everyone is remote it becomes even more critical with such a variety of internet access issues from individual homes. At a MINIMUM please ADD a save progress button if Autosave (like the rest of the Office 365 products do) is not an option at this time. I can not OVERSTATE how critical this is in order to use Forms reliably for Exams/Quizzes in an educations setting.

Absolutely crazy that this isn't an option in forms. It should an autosave at a bare minimum when you go to the next section for example. But you should 100% be able to save and come back to it later at any point!

This is absolutely a must, especially now that O365 is not working properly all the time. Pupils (and teacher) get frustrated when they lose their answers that they have worked on for such a long time.

We are using Forms heavily these days for our projects for the Icelandic Government. As the forms often are rather large and the information needed to complete the form are taken from various sources we need to be able to save and continue later. We support the request of this option.

I can hardly believe that this doesn't already exist...

has MS ever even recognized or responded to this request? Any statement at all?

Are you kidding???? This is really not an option?!? So the quiz I just created for my students to complete over 2 - 3 days is not going to work??? I got here by trying to Google how to do this, only to be sadly disappointed in Forms. For the second time today as I also just figured out that you can't convert a Form to a Quiz and have already remade it once when I found that out. Now you're telling me I have to re-do it another way? Seriously???? I just can't even.

YES! Both a Save function and an auto-save that retrieve partially completed forms. This is an absolute must for accuracy.

I cannot use Microsoft Forms in my Teams environment because it is missing this feature.

Save and continue later will solve many problems and is expected by most users. Ending a form/survey and finding again is difficult for the end users. Not to mention if they do, they have to start over.

I would ask for auto-save and continue. I would love to see unfinished, unsubmitted results too. As a researcher unfinished surveys are common, but I'd love to hoard as much data as possible.

It is very frustrating that this option does not exist.
It should be fairly easy to fix, as long as the person either has an ID or uses a unique link.
I know several of those filling out my forms get nervous that they will lose their answers if they go out to think about or research their answer, and then they either stop or write their answers elsewhere (e.g. email). Please fix this. -

I am now at the point where I'm having to move to a different service to create longer quizzes which can be completed over time. So frustrating that users cannot save and continue.

Not being able to do this is a major drawback of Forms. As a teacher who is setting work to be completed over a number of weeks it is very frustrating that I cannot integrate my task information in Sway with a Form that can be added to over time.

If you want this to be implemented in school settings, we have to be able to save & come back for a) students need extended time, b) internet access is dodgy, c) a drill or something else interrupts us, d) WE'RE ON LOCKDOWN DUE TO COVID-19 AND HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ONLINE NOW.
C'mon, help us all out!
