Microsoft Forms<\/a> is a secure (and free!) alternative to SurveyMonkey, but it can be time consuming to repeatedly create essentially<\/em> the same form. Fortunately, there are two ways you can use an existing form as a template for a new form.<\/p>\n

Log into Microsoft Forms<\/a> \u2013 if you\u2019ve never used Forms before, you\u2019ll need to create a new form. Click the \u201cNew Form\u201d button.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Add a title and description to your form, then use the \u201cAdd question\u201d button to build your form.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click on \u201cForms\u201d in the upper left-hand corner to return to the Forms home page. The form you created will appear under \u201cMy forms\u201d. Click the ellipses in the upper right-hand corner of the form listing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Select \u201cCopy\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volia \u2013 now there is a copy of the form.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can also create a public form template. When editing your form, click the \u201cShare\u201d button.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Click \u201cShare as a template\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Copy the URL that is displayed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyone (even people outside of Windstream) can use a form template URL<\/a> to create a new form. Simply access the URL and click \u201cDuplicate it\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is not currently a public library of Forms templates (although I\u2019ve suggested it on Microsoft\u2019s UserVoice site<\/a>), but if you create a template that would be useful for our organization, feel free to share it in the comments.<\/p>\n
