Target audience: Students, faculty and staff members.
Microsoft Forms is an easy-to-use application that allows you to create simple forms, quizzes, and surveys. In addition to sharing forms with people to fill and submit, you can collaborate with teammates to create and manage your forms.
In this article:
Inviting others to collaborate on your form or quiz makes them co-authors and grants them permission to add content, analyze responses, and share your form with others.
To collaborate on a form:
The groups/people you add as collaborators will be assigned co-authoring permissions and can view and edit your form.
Note: The group "Anyone with an Office 365 work or school account..." includes people outside of McGill.
Share a form or quiz as a template to allow colleagues, teachers, and others to duplicate, customize, and use it as their own.
To share a template:
Note: Only the content is duplicated when you share a quiz or form as a template. No existing response data is carried over to the new quiz or form.
Rather than create forms on an individual Microsoft 365 account and share them, you can create Group Forms that belong to a group. These forms will not be deleted when the creator leaves McGill. You can create group forms in any Microsoft 365 group you belong to (e.g., Teams groups).
Forms created in a group are accessible and editable to all other members of that group.
To create a group form or quiz:
By default, MS Forms will collect the account names of respondents.
To make an anonymous survey:
Depending on your specific need, you may wish to also enable the One response per person restriction to prevent the same person from submitting multiple responses.
