Form does not exist
The shortened URL is essentially a redirect to your actual form. If Microsoft updates or regenerates that redirect, the original shortened link becomes invalid, it may possible to happen when you re-share the form or make changes that prompt a new sharing link to be created.
You may consider:
- Use the full URL instead of the shortened one for printed materials. It’s more stable and less likely to change.
- If you must use a shortened link, consider using a third-party URL shortener like Bitly or TinyURL, which gives you more control over the link’s permanence.
- Always test the QR code and link after making any changes to the form, even minor ones.
Actions:
You can go back to your form, click “Collect Responses,” and copy the current full URL. Then:
- Generate a new QR code from that full URL.
- Replace the outdated QR code wherever possible.
If reprinting isn’t an option, you might consider creating a redirect page or using a custom domain that forwards to the current form link.
