Collaboration
Overview
Forms gives you a couple of options for collaborating with other people either on the form itself or just the data that is generated by its responses.
Inviting Others to Collaborate
- Click the Options button in the top right corner and select Collaborate or Duplicate.
- If necessary, click Share the link to collaborate and view result in the “Add collaborators” section.
- Click into the dropdown menu to select who can collaborate view the shared link. Options include:
- Anyone with an Office 365 work or school account can edit and view result – Anyone with a Microsoft work or school account can collaborate.
- People in Tufts with the link can edit and view result – Any member of the Tufts community can collaborate.
- Specific people in Tufts with the link can edit and view result – Only specific members of the Tufts community that you invite can collaborate.
- Copy the link and share as needed. You can also delete the link to turn off collaboration on this form.
Managing Collaboration
After collaboration has been initiated, MS Forms allows you to manage it in several ways, including:
- Managing link access
- Adding/removing people
- Deleting the shared link (ending collaboration)

- Visit the MS Forms website. If necessary, log in with your Tufts credentials.
- Select Shared with me.
- Forms that belong to other people and have been shared with you will be listed.

In MS Forms, you can create/own and manage forms as a group (i.e., a Microsoft 365 group), rather than the form belonging to one specific person. See the page on creating and editing forms for more information.
It is also possible to convert an existing personal form to a group form. See directions below. Note that once this is done, it cannot be undone! You cannot convert group forms to personal forms.
Converting a Personal Form to a Group Form
- Visit the MS Forms website. If necessary, log in with your Tufts credentials.
- Click the My forms filter.
- Find the personal form you want to convert.
- Click the options button and select Move to a group.
- Select a group and click Move.
