To help Forms customers easily create forms or quizzes from beginning to end, we have leveled up our portal page experience to present better first run experience for brand new Forms customers and light up scenario-based templates tailored for commercial and educators separately. Read on more to learn about our latest updates.  

 

If brand new users come to Microsoft Forms for the first time, they can quickly get started either from scratch or from prepopulated templates. These new features are gradually rolling out and only available in https://forms.office.com, will expend to office.com start page in future. 

 

 

 

Otherwise, whenever visiting http://forms.office.com, commercial and educational customers will be presented with different template categories on top of portal page for quick browsing 

 

 

Inside each template scenario, users can quickly preview many other related topics and start to edit in one click. More templates will be coming soon 

 

 

For education customers, these templates are tailored to teaching, learning or school activities. Addition to template, recreating everything in Forms can be very time consuming. We hear you and we are excited to bring you an experience that will help you convert your content into Forms with just 1-click.

    Getting to use template is great. Is there a plan that Microsoft would allow users to create their own template and publish it for others in their organization to use?

  • Hi Jake_Li , thanks for your comments. Our PM is collecting and investigating the potential requests for furture iteration. I will pass your feedback to them. If there's any updates on that feature, we will post is in the blog. Thanks again!

    Any plans to add DataVerse option to save data instead of just an Excel file? It would be so much better to exchange the data dynamically. I know it's possible using Power Automate but the built-in option would be great. 

  • I don have yet that option to use templates only the 4 that ia have at  the beginning

    Would someone mind giving me the direct link to the templates page? When I go to the link you have above, Explore Templates does not show up. It looks nothing like yours. I work for higher education, and we have the Office 365 suites.

    Thanks,
