Your response will remain anonymous to the form owner after you sign in to save the response.

I have shared these typical scenarios with the product team, and they are currently evaluating this case.Hi DingkunXie
Please can you help explain what this line means? "Your response will remain anonymous to the form owner after you sign in to save the response" and why there is an option to 'Save the response'. I cannot find any information on the Microsoft website on this update and i need to understand the impact of this change.- What happens if someone doesn't click 'Save the response'? Is the form response still saved in the synced spreadsheet? It looks like it is when I tested but without knowing why this button exists, I can't be sure.
- After the form filler submits - if they click 'Save the response', and login, do they only get to see their response and no others?
I would appreciate your response as we are finding this change very disconcerting and it will have a major implication if we can no longer MS Forms. Thanks in advance- DingkunXie
Hi User960

This button appears on the thank you page after submitting the response, so it does not affect the submission of the response (the response will still sync to the Excel worksheet).
- After the form filler submits - if they click 'Save the response', and login, do they only get to see their response and no others?
Yes, the form taker can only view their own submitted responses and not those of others.
