Edit response after submission
with the new option to give users the capability to "Edit response after submission" is there any way to track the changes and the number of times a responder has edited their response. Is there an audit trail for the Form owner to see if and when edits have been made to a response?

How can the user edit the submission? I'm not seeing that new functionality. TOnymcgra

Thanks! I did that, but still not seeing how I can update the form after submission. DingkunXie
helloitscourt you need to check the checkbox in Settings.

Hi TOnymcgra
There is no way to know the changes made each time. The form owner can determine whether a response has been modified by checking whether the 'Last modified time' has a value in the Excel worksheet which represents the last modification time of this response.
In Power Automate, there is an action Microsoft Forms > Get response details, whose outputs includes "submitDate", which changes upon editing a response; and I have built some Flows to detect if any response was edit by checking this value.
This worked when I last use the Flows in Jun 2024; now in Sep 2024 I just copied the Flows for another Form, but found "submitDate" is unchanged upon editing a response; meanwhile, the 'Last modified time' column in the Excel worksheet generated through Forms is updated according to the editing time. Has anything changed in the past 3 months in regard to Power Automate?
- DingkunXieI will check with the Product Team regarding this behavior change and get back to you.
