How to Create a Form in SharePoint

This guide walks you through how to create a form in SharePoint using the built-in Microsoft Forms web part. You'll learn how to add a fillable form to any SharePoint site page, add questions to it, and confirm it's ready to collect responses from your users.

Prerequisites

• An active Office 365 account with access to SharePoint.
• Edit permissions on the SharePoint site where you want to add the form.

Step 1: Open Office 365 and access SharePoint

Make sure you are logged into your Office 365 account. Click the app launcher (grid icon) in the top left corner, then select SharePoint from the list of available apps.

Step 2: Navigate to your SharePoint site

In SharePoint, go to the site where you want to add the fillable form.

Step 3: Enter edit mode

Click the Edit button at the top right of your SharePoint site page to start making changes to the layout.

Step 4: Choose where to add the form

Hover your mouse over the section of the page where you want to insert the fillable form. Wait until a plus (+) symbol appears, which indicates you can add a new web part at that location.

Step 5: Add the Microsoft Forms web part

Click the plus (+) symbol to open the web part selection window, then locate and select Microsoft Forms from the list.

Step 6: Create a new form

In the Microsoft Forms pane on the right, click New Form. Enter a name for your form in the "Name your form" field (for example, "Demo"), then click Create to generate the new form.

Step 7: Add questions to your form

Click Add New to insert a new question or element into your form. For this example, select the Text option to add a text input field, then enter the desired question or prompt (for example, "Social Media"). Continue clicking Add New to add more elements as needed.

Step 8: Customize and finalize your form

Adjust the form elements and settings as needed—for example, toggle the "Long answer" or "Required" options. Experiment with different question types and settings until the form meets your requirements.

Step 9: Save and refresh your SharePoint site

Once you have finished creating and customizing your form, close the Microsoft Forms editing page. Return to your SharePoint site and refresh the page to confirm the form is embedded and visible.

Step 10: Confirm your form is live

Check that your new fillable form is embedded on your SharePoint site and ready to accept responses from users. Look for a confirmation message or visual cue indicating the form is active.

Summary

By following these steps, you have successfully created and embedded a fillable form on your SharePoint site using Microsoft Forms. Your form is now live and ready to collect responses from users.
