Does Forms Save responses
Hello Forms Community,
Does Microsoft Forms save un-submitted responses, and do users have the option to share the form with others to complete?
Thanks,
Vishal
Hi Deleted
To the other part of your question about users having the option to share the form, depending on the forms settings (e.g. Anyone with the link can do it), then they could just share the form link.
There's no formal option to share a form unless you are the creator AFAIK.
UserVoice has one with some good support to bring a Save option to forms (I've voted for it too!).
Cheers and best wishes

Damien_Rosario Hi Damien,
When I mean share the form, I'm talking about multiple users working on the same form. In the form that I am building, sometimes a user cannot answer all the questions and might need to send the form across to another user.
Will another user be able to continue working on the unfinished responses first started by the initial user?

- You can only do this if you create a custom powerapp solution or use SharePoint list forms, but with SharePoint list form you will have limited security around the forms but you can allow anyone to edit entries if you want, but it's an all of nothing setting.
- Nope, no save state or cookies etc. in Forms, it's submit only.
ChrisWebbTech Thanks for informing. What if a user is working on a form and plans to submit it at a later time? How do they ensure that their responses are not gone?
- Redo the form. There is no go back to where you left off. So forms need to be shorter in nature or use a 3rd party survey type solution.
