Stop sharing a Microsoft Form

What is this article about?

In Microsoft Forms, you can have multiple co-authors help design a form and analyze responses. However, in some cases it might be necessary to remove access for others to edit the form, or see the responses. This is simply accomplished by stop sharing the form.

How do I use this technology?

  1. In Microsoft Forms open the desired form that is being shared.
  2. Click the Share button.

  4. In the confirmation message click Remove link to remove the collaboration link.

Once you've removed the collaborate link, it is unusable for anyone that tries to click on it and you can't recreate the same collaborate link. You can always create another collaborate link for your form, but it will be a new unique link. You'll need to send the new link so co-authors can continue collaborating on your form.
