Tech tip: Add a section to your Microsoft Form

Now that you have created a Form to be used as a quiz or survey, you may find that you have more than one topic to cover or your Form is rather lengthy. The Form can be broken down into sections with specific questions added to that section. Adding sections will organize the Form into multiple pages that can be duplicated, moved and even add branching (questions that are only answered based upon the respondent’s answers).

To access the Forms application, start by opening your Outlook – Office 365 web account. Click on the waffle icon (nine small boxes) in the upper left corner. Select Forms, or if you do not see the application, select All apps. The Forms that you have created, pinned as a favorite or that have been shared with you as collaborator are listed. Open the Form you want to add sections to.

Add Section

  • Select + Add new.
  • Select More question types (the down arrow to the far right) > Section.
  • Add a section title and a description of the section, as applicable.
  • Select + Add new to add a question for that section.

Move a Question

  • Select a question to edit.
  • Select the down arrow to move down. You may need to do this multiple times to move to the next section.

Copy a Question

  • Select a question to edit.
  • Select the copy question (double paper icon to the left of the recycle bin).
  • The question will be added to the existing section. You can then move this down to the next section and edit further.

Review Sections

  • Add more sections as necessary.
  • Select Preview to see how your quiz or survey will look to respondents on a computer or mobile device.
  • Select Next to move between sections.
