M365 Changelog: Microsoft Forms: update in sharing with collaborators and recipients

MC242333 – Updated April 06, 2021: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft is making it easier to share a form with a collaborator or with respondents by separating the sharing process.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 79450.

When this will happen

Rollout is from early March through the end of May (previously end of March).

How this will affect your organization

Sharing a forms with its target audience is quite different from sharing one with a collaborator.

Previously these two options were accessed from the same Share button, which was confusing to some.

Microsoft has changed the Share button to a Send button, making it clear that this is how the forms owner distributes the form to its intended audience.

What you need to do to prepare

You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
