- If you used the default setting then the form excel file should be stored on your root OneDrive directory. Since it’s on OneDrive you get 500 previous versions so you should be able to open the excel file. Go to version history and open the one before you changed the questions and then save as that copy as another file.
Let me know if you need further details than that.Thanks Christopher, I created forms on the portal.office.com, not on the onedrive, so there is no excel file on OneDrive, is there any other way? thanks.
- It still should store in your onedrive that's where all the responses get stored by default. Go to the form, look at the responses, then click the open in excel button. It should be on onedrive of whoever created it and you should be able to click version history to retrieve old versions. What happens when you click "Open in Excel" on the responses tab?
