How to Duplicate a Form in Microsoft Forms
Microsoft Forms offers users the convenience of setting up their completed form as a template. This allows them to reuse a similar form construction for a similar purpose, which could be, for example, an employee follow-up feedback form or an annual customer survey.
How to Duplicate a Form in Microsoft Forms
You won’t have to hassle yourself with typing from start to finish as MS Forms allows you to duplicate your form with ease. This is an efficient method to create a copy of your pre-made form without having to manually transfer each question or section into a newer blank form.
-
Step 1: Open Your Form
The first step you would need to do is to access your MS Forms account either from a preferred web browser or mobile device. After inputting your credentials and selecting the specific form you want to duplicate, open it. Double-check whether or not it is the form you have in mind. -
Step 2: Generate Link for Sharing
If the ‘Collaborate or Duplicate’ button is not visible in Microsoft Forms, use the ‘Share’ button in the form instead. Proceed to the opened panel and select ‘Get a link to replicate’ under Share as a template. -
Step 3: Paste the Link and Duplicate
After you have generated and copied the link, what you need to do is paste it onto your preferred web browser’s URL. Click on the button ‘Duplicate It’. This will then open up your current window or the current form to the newer form. You will know it is the duplicated form as the form title will have the word ‘copy’ with the original title. -
Step 4: Change the Content
Since you now have the duplicated form, you may want to update parts of the form. This could be either the title, the description, or even certain sections or questions within the form.
