Frequently Asked Questions
- Office 365
- 1. Can I share my Microsoft Forms?More
Yes! As the author of the form, you have three ways to share your form:
- For users to submit their responses: This is used when your form is complete, and you are ready for others to view, and respond to your form. Their responses are recorded in the Responses section. Users with this link will only be able to submit responses to your form.
- For users to use your form's template: This option allows others to copy your form to use for themselves. The link allows them to recieve a duplicate of the form's questions. Don't worry, the copied form does not receive the original forms responses.
- For users to collaborate with you on your form: This option allows others to view and edit your form's questions, options, and responses - anyone with this link can change your form. This is convenient for team collaboration and results sharing.
We will walk through each method of sharing.
Each method requires the Microsoft Form's author to:

To share your form for other users to submit their responses:
