How to Fix Missing Three-Dot Menu to Copy a Microsoft Form
Question details
The user needs to copy, move, or delete a quiz in Microsoft Forms but cannot find the three-dot menu within the form editor.
- Product
- Microsoft Forms
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to duplicate or manage an existing form or quiz.
- Observed behavior
- The three-dot 'More options' menu is completely missing from the form editor interface, preventing the user from performing copy or move actions.
Ensure you are signed in with the correct Microsoft 365 account credentials and try refreshing your browser window, as temporary loading glitches can hide interface options.
Access Form Options via the 'All My Forms' Dashboard
By navigating away from the individual editor and entering the main directory, you can bypass the missing menu and easily access the copy, move, and delete options.
Microsoft Forms interface updates or temporary bugs can sometimes cause the settings menu to disappear from the individual form editor view. Accessing your forms from the overarching dashboard is the most reliable workaround.
Go to the main Microsoft Forms start page where your recent forms are displayed.
Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and click on the 'All My Forms' link.
Find the form you want to duplicate. On the form tile, click the three-dot 'More options' icon. If you are using the list view, simply hover your cursor over the form to reveal the three-dot icon and click it.
Select 'Copy' from the dropdown menu. A duplicate of your form will be created immediately in your list.
Clear Browser Cache or Switch Browsers
If the three-dot menu remains hidden on specific browsers like Microsoft Edge, clearing cached data can resolve lingering visual bugs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the three-dot menu missing from my Microsoft Forms editor?
The menu can disappear due to temporary browser rendering issues, cached data conflicts, or unannounced interface updates by Microsoft. Navigating to 'All My Forms' usually bypasses these editor-specific glitches.
How do I move a Microsoft Form to a group if the menu is missing?
The process is the same as copying. Go to 'All My Forms' at the bottom of your Forms homepage, click the three-dot icon on the specific form tile, and select 'Move' instead of 'Copy' to transfer it to a group.
Will clearing my browser cache delete my Microsoft Forms?
No. Microsoft Forms are saved to the cloud on your Microsoft 365 account. Clearing your browser cache and cookies will only remove local temporary files to help the website load properly.
