Turn off "Save the response"
- Thanks for your feedbacks. Forms has added the setting to control the save response option. You should be able to view the change very soon.
Hi VikVid
My guess is that this is a new feature.
I also would like to turn it off , because user's saving forms they've filled in becomes a RECORD and Compliance manager's nightmare.
- Where are the "filled forms" kept?
- how long are they kept for?
- what retention disposal options do we have?
MICROSOFT Forms Product team - please please give us some ADMIN tools, or we'll have to move to a different online forms provider like JotForms.
I tried to figure some of this out:
If you click it the "save response" button, filled in version of the form is saved and accessible via
https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?prevsubpage=undefined
when you click on the "filled forms" filter.
The ... dots on that filled in form, does have a "remove from my portal" option.
When you click the "remove from my portal" option , if you go back to https://forms.office.com/Pages/DesignPageV2.aspx?prevsubpage=undefined then click on the "My forms" filter, then click on the "recycle bin" button (bottom right) the filled in form IS NOT IN the recyclebin.
Hi all,
I did some playing around and think I found a solution.
I tried one of the template options, "Gain Insights through user research" as shown below:
and noticed that at the end I wasn't prompted to save my response.
I just then edited it to fit what I needed and it still worked - there must be some sort of setting we cannot access when attempting to create from scratch.
Hope this works for you guys.
I also found a work around....
It seems to only happen on new forms I create. All my old forms are fine.
So all I did was saved a copy of one of my old forms and deleted all the questions then saved it as Blank Template. I can now just create a copy of this each time I need a new form until this is resolved.
Hope this helps anyone else.
Hyoogow Workaround will work for anyone who doesn't already have an old form to copy.

- Ah that's good news and makes sense as this was the first time I created one so I had to use a template instead.
