Allow form respondents to save and continue to fill the form later
My comment refers to this voting: https://microsoftforms.uservoice.com/forums/386451-welcome-to-microsoft-forms-suggestion-box/suggestions/18447406-allow-form-respondents-to-save-and-continue-to-fil
In our company we use sharepoint and MS 365 Business every day. MS Forms is very intuitive and esasy to handle, thats great! I made a long survey on sustainability topics to our members. Then I got feedback that in many cases more than one person in the adressed member companies have to work together according to their expertise... so they need the option to save the survey, send it to another colleague who can conitnue answering the question... Right now I have to look to alternative tools to fullfill this very important option. But I would prefer to continue my survey (where I already put more than one week of effort) in MS Forms. Is there already any timeline, when Mircrosoft will implement this function?
Best regards from Germany

- Great ask. We are tracking this as 2 separate items. The first is save & resume, where a user could save their progress and resume the response later. The second item is collaboration for a form responses, where multiple people could collaborate on response vs today where you can only collaborate at form creation time.
The first ask, save & resume, is something we are actively discussing but no timeline to share at this time. The second is not in short/medium term plans, but might be something we consider in longer term
Thanks,

Microsoft Forms - Senior Program manager- DingkunXie I was wondering if there is any update on the Save and Resume function? We recently sent out a survey to external partners and their number one complaint was not being able to save and go back later. The forms we send out are quite lengthy so this is an essential.
- And here we are, years later and still no sign of this. Forms really does feel like its not got a team working on it. It's missing so many basic functions.
Jon_Kay Do you have any news on when the "Save and Resume Later" feature for Forms will be available? Many thanks
Not at this time.
We will publish updates on the public roadmap when appropriate.
