Dear Forms users,
We are working on it. Hugely appreciated if you could take 3 mins to fill out the survey:
This will help us understand what’s the most important for you and whether we are moving on the right track. Thank you!

I can no longer make Drafts of Forms polls for my Microsoft Teams meetings. Beginning with Step #9, the below tutorial link is no longer accurate. Generated Questions post immediately, publicly to all meeting attendees. No Draft/Launch option anymore. This means I cannot build questions ahead of time. That was essential as I am running the meeting and cannot be creating polls as I present.

In fact, we would like to be able to generate a link that allows people (e.g. Management, Coworkers) to see the full responses, not just the summary, and NOT have edit privs on the form itself.So please add this feature soon.

Need to share the responses (not a summary, the actual responses) to a group of people some of whom are outside my org. I do not want them to be able to edit or delete responses. Can't see anyway with my existing Form to do that.

Share for collaboration options not clear on who they enable. If I collaborate with anyone with Office 365 account does that mean I don't get to say who will be able to view or edit? Can I set permissions like edit for all in my org and edit for named Office 365 users form other orgs?

Also, re: sharing, we need the ability to xfer ownership more than once.
eg. It's currently just individual -> group
it should be individual -> group or individual -> other group or individual -

I want to send a form to people outside of organization. I have therefore selected the "Anyone Can Respond" option so that it is possible. When I report on the form it says the responder is "Anonymous" which is perfect but I'm curious from a Microsoft point of view could they be tracking the responder? My thoughts would be that they wouldn't be able to because it bypasses AD but I wanted to double check. Thanks!

ADMIN (yuanquan hu),
There were a lot of suggestions merged together. It would be helpful if you specified which of them you are working on.
"We are working on it"...what does "it" mean in this case?Also, for some reason I can only access the survey (which seems to indicate the feature is the ability to limit respondents) from the automated email on this topic. Clicking it from the link in your comment says I don't have permission. Is that a different survey link from the emailed one?

Hi,
My expectations regarding FORMS (using 365 online) :
1. When sharing to my organisation, I need to copy/paste the link so the user can access the form in the "shared forms" space. I think it's not efficient, FORMS should be moved there automatically without having me sending the link to users.
2. When downloading the Excel file to have the results, we get 3 columns for 1 question. Could be good to choose the columns we need.
3. When we get the excel file for the results, we download it on the computer. Could be good to open it online in 365.
4. When we get the "recap files" with the answer and the schemes, could be good to be able to see all the written answers, we only see 2 or 3 at a time.Hope it's clear and relevant.
Thanks a lot. -

I have two 365 accounts a personal one and a university one - I create a new Forms questionnaire in my personal account (testing) and now its complete I wan tto move it to my university 365 account. I have tried sharing template, but this comes up with an error (attached) in my Uni account once you select the Duplicate button and duplicates it in the original personal 365 account.
Why can't Microsoft allow simple sharing the original Form document via OneDrive and allow me to simply move it. I don't want to move responses or anything just a clean copy of the questionnaire so i can issue it form my Uni account

Working from a Sharepoint Group Site (not private site but company site), wanted to add a Form from the Site where you upload a document with relevant questions to be actioned through a Flow.
However the option to 'Upload' is greyed out on the Site option (not the same experience from my private sharepoint as the option is available). We need to create a Form that does not belong to a private entity but rather belongs to that Sharepoint site with the option to Upload. (Understand that the Site does not have a OneDrive as the repository - can you not add an option to choose where the upload ends up in during Form setup?) -

Allowing external users to upload files would be a great feature, due to not having this feature my team have to seek alternate software.

Add the ability to allow users to submit information and see results but not be able to edit the form.

Having more than one person being able to moderate the responses - e.g. share the admin to the form would be great.

Our organisation uses MS Forms to write case notes. The It would be great if users completing the form had the option to save as a draft and then come back and continue editing or complete the form later.

Current branching options do not allow the form to return to a previous page depending on how a user answers questions. (The option to do this currently exists, but it does not work properly.)

I need to allow file upload by people outside my organization.

Allow anonymous responses to be editable:
Generate a UUID for each response and share it with the user once the response is submitted.
Make this behave like an "anonymous external user", which is like a one-time expendable UserPrincipalName External/Guest users, but that BYPASSES ALL ACCOUNT CREATION SHENANIGANS when a user submits a form response.This expendable/one-time Guest User would be able to submit file responses, and would have file responses editable via that link. The UUID would be the only way of accessing that response as the original submitter. That Guest User could also be marked differently from other actual Guest users, and that account be flushed/deleted automatically after a certain amount of time.
When it comes to SharePoint global settings, there is a slider for maximum sharing permission level that may restrict anonymous sharing. There should be an additional setting to allow for this kind of special permission to be created for Forms, even if ordinarily anonymous links would not be allowed per company policy.

Would be great to have more than one person receive the form responses, should have an option to type another email address to receive response notifications and access to the form responses.
