Help me avoid losing Microsoft Forms when employees leave

By Adam Cogan in Microsoft Forms September 29, 2021 0 Comment

I have had employees leave SSW and we have had little dramas later… this is when I discover that we have lost their forms. Has this happened to any of you?

Losing Microsoft Forms when employees leave your company can be avoided by making sure they share it to a team and not to one user.

Suggestion:

I would like a warning in the form that says this form is an orphan and is not shared to a team.

OR

…even better, have an admin portal that allows you to assign the missing form to a new owner.

Figure: This form was shared to a bunch of people but when the creator left, it was lost

To repro:

Figure: Open form (you can see it)

Figure: But you only get “Sorry, something went wrong This form doesn’t exist”
