Collaborate with other educators on a form or quiz that you created

Use Microsoft Forms to invite other educators to collaborate on quizzes you create to assess students, or other work products. When you share a quiz or form with collaborators, a special link is created that allows others to view and make changes to the design of a quiz or form you started. All contributors to your quiz or form can also view, edit, and delete responses. In Microsoft Teams for Education, Educators you've invited can then share the quiz or form with others by sending them the form collaborate link.

    1. Select who can access this form by choosing from the dropdown (Anyone with a M365 account, people from your organization only, or specific people from your organization only).

  7. Select + Get a link to duplicate to share a link and allow others to use your form as a template and make it their own. This will not change your version of the form. Anyone with the link will be able to duplicate. Responses will not be collected.

    Notes: 

    • When you share a quiz or form to collaborate, it remains in your profile but other people can view and edit it through that shared URL. At the top of the quiz or form that you've shared, you'll see initial icons for each person editing the form. 

    • Contributor initial icons CC and DL
