Introduction to Microsoft Forms
Microsoft Forms is a versatile tool available to Office 365 Education customers, Microsoft 365 Apps for Business customers, and users with a Microsoft Account (Hotmail, Live, or Outlook.com). This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to create forms and quizzes using Microsoft Forms.
Getting Started
To begin, sign in to Microsoft Forms using your Microsoft credentials. From the Microsoft Forms homepage, you will see a button to get started. You have two options: create a form or a quiz. Both options allow you to start from scratch.
Importing Existing Forms
If you have previously created a form or quiz in Word, you can use the Quick Import feature. This allows you to import your existing questions into Microsoft Forms, saving you time from retyping them.
Managing Your Forms
On the 'All My Forms' page, you can find all the forms and quizzes you have created. Use the search bar to locate specific forms. You can also change the display of your forms by clicking on the appropriate option to view them as a list.
Organizing Forms with Collections
To better organize your forms, you can create collections. Click the 'New Collection' button, give it a name, and drag and drop forms or quizzes into it. This helps you categorize your forms based on specific topics.
Accessing Deleted Forms
If you accidentally delete a form or collection, you can find it in the recycle bin. Here, you can choose to restore it or permanently delete it by emptying the recycle bin.
Navigating the Homepage
Your Microsoft Forms homepage displays three categories: Recent, Favorites, and Shared with Me. The 'Recent' category shows forms you have recently worked on, while 'Favorites' groups forms you frequently use. To add a form to favorites, click on the three dots next to it. The 'Shared with Me' tab contains forms shared by your colleagues.
Form Management Options
Each form has its own menu, allowing you to open, edit, or access responses. You can copy forms to any of your Microsoft groups, add them to favorites, or remove them from your homepage list as needed.
Collaborating on Forms
When you create a form within a group, it indicates that all group members can collaborate and edit the form. The form will display the group name instead of the creator's name, ensuring clarity on ownership.
Conclusion
Now that you understand the various ways to create new forms and manage existing ones, it's your turn to give it a try. Explore the features of Microsoft Forms and enhance your form creation skills.
