How to Remove the Submit Another Response Link in Microsoft Forms
Question details
The user wants to know how to hide or disable the 'Submit another response' link that appears after completing a Microsoft Form.
- Product
- Microsoft Forms
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Configuring survey or quiz settings for anonymous respondents.
- Observed behavior
- The 'Submit another response' link remains visible to anonymous respondents, and there is no built-in setting to remove it.
Verify your current Microsoft Forms permissions and check whether your survey is configured to collect anonymous responses or if it requires users to sign in.
Understanding the Limitation for Anonymous Respondents
Microsoft Forms does not currently provide a feature to disable the 'Submit another response' link for surveys completed anonymously.
When you configure a Microsoft Form so that 'Anyone can respond' (anonymous mode), the system cannot track who has already submitted a response. As a result, it automatically displays the 'Submit another response' link by default, and there is no built-in toggle to remove or hide this link.
Click the three-dot menu (...) located in the upper right corner of your Microsoft Forms interface and select 'Settings'.
Verify your sharing settings. Note that if 'Anyone can respond' is selected under the 'Who can fill out this form' section, the multiple responses restriction cannot be applied.
Since this feature is currently missing, click the three-dot menu again, select 'Feedback', and request the ability to hide the link for anonymous users.
Workaround: Require Sign-in to Limit Responses
If your audience is within your organization, you can force a single response per person, which automatically hides the link.
Need a Versatile Office Suite? Try WPS Office
While Microsoft Forms has specific limitations for anonymous surveys, managing your exported survey data, analyzing results, and creating reports is significantly easier with a powerful office suite. WPS Office is a free, lightweight, and complete alternative to Microsoft Office.
- 1. Export your form data: In Microsoft Forms, go to the 'Responses' tab and click 'Open in Excel' to download your survey results.
- 2. Open with WPS Spreadsheet: Locate the downloaded .xlsx file on your computer, right-click, and select 'Open with WPS Office'.
- 3. Analyze your results: Use WPS Spreadsheet's built-in pivot tables, charts, and filtering tools to process your collected survey data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove the 'Submit another response' link using a custom script?
No. Microsoft Forms does not support custom CSS or JavaScript injection, so you cannot use external scripts or code to hide the link on the submission page.
Does Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Voice allow hiding this link?
Yes. Dynamics 365 Customer Voice (formerly Microsoft Forms Pro) offers advanced distribution and tracking options, allowing you to send personalized links that expire after one use, effectively preventing multiple anonymous submissions.
Why is the 'One response per person' option grayed out in my settings?
This option is only available when you select 'Only people in my organization can respond' or 'Specific people in my organization can respond'. It remains grayed out and unavailable if the form is set to 'Anyone can respond' (anonymous).
How do I export my survey results to a spreadsheet?
Navigate to the 'Responses' tab at the top of your Microsoft Form and click on the 'Open in Excel' button to download a spreadsheet containing all of your submitted data.
