Move your form to a group

If you've created a Form, survey, quiz, or poll, you can easily move it to a group so everyone in your group becomes an owner of that form. Group co-authors can help add content, analyze responses, and share the form with others.

1. Go to Microsoft Forms, sign in with your LMC account.

2. Scroll down to the bottom of your page and select All My Forms.

Open

3. On the form you want to move, select More options in the upper right corner of its tile, and then choose Move.

Open

4. Choose the group (Team) you want to move your form to, and then select Move.

5. To see the form in the group for which you moved it to, select the back arrow on your My forms page, and then scroll down to the bottom of your page to see My groups. This list shows all the groups you belong to and the forms owned within those groups.

Commonly asked questions

What happens to the Excel workbook of my newly moved form?

Your newly moved form will inherit all the features of a group form, such as its responses stored on the group SharePoint in Microsoft 365 page. Under the name of the form title, a new Excel workbook will be created in the Documents folder of the SharePoint in Microsoft 365 page and include all previously captured responses. Any new responses will be synced to this new Excel workbook.

Important: Don't move the Excel workbook to another location. New responses coming in won't sync with an Excel workbook that has been moved.

Will the link to my original (individual) form work after it's been moved to a group?

Yes, the link pointing to the original form will still work after the form has been moved to a group, as long as the original form owner account still exists within Azure AD. The response of a submitter who uses an old link (to the original form) will be captured in the Excel workbook stored on the group SharePoint in Microsoft 365 page.

Important:  If the original form owner is hard deleted (30 days after soft delete), the original form link will no longer work.

I moved a form I created to "Group A." Now "Group A" wants to move that form to "Group B." Can they do that?

No. Currently, a group can't transfer a form to another group.

When I try to move my form to a group, why do I I get an error?

If you get an error message, any of the following may prevent you from moving your form to a group:
