When this will happen

We expect this rollout to begin in mid-March and expect the rollout to be fully completed by mid-April.

How this will affect your organization

Once a new survey is created in Microsoft Forms, the creator will have the ability to invite others to complete the form.

Forms will then send periodic email updates informing the survey creator of updated information regarding the completion of the survey as well as provide the ability, for the creator, to send reminder emails to the recipients to complete the survey if they have not yet done so.

What you need to do to prepare

No specific action is required but you may want to update your internal documentation as necessary.
