Adjust your form or quiz settings in Microsoft Forms

Option for quiz

The default setting, Show results automatically, allows responders see the results of each question when they submit their quiz answers. Responders see green check marks next to each correct answer for the quiz questions and red message text displayed next to incorrect answers. Clear this setting if you don't want to display correct and incorrect information next to each quiz question.

Who can fill out this form

• Anyone can respond - Anyone inside or outside of your organization can submit responses to your form or quiz.

• Only people in my organization can respond - Only people that belong to your organization will be able to respond to your form or quiz.

  • Record name - Keep track of people that have responded to your form or quiz.

  • One response per person - Limit form or quiz responses to only one per person. This will prevent individuals from filling out a form or quiz multiple times.

  : This feature is currently rolling out and will be available soon.

• Get email notification of each response - Get notified by email each time a response is submitted.
