In Microsoft Forms, you can have multiple people collaborate on the structure and layout of quizzes and forms. When you share a quiz or form to collaborate, you create a special link which allows others to view and make changes to the design of a quiz or form you started. All contributors to your quiz or form can also view, edit, and delete responses. Contributors can also share the quiz or form with others by sending them the form collaborate link.

  6. When you share a quiz or form to collaborate, it remains in your profile but other people can view and edit it through that collaborate URL. At the top of the quiz or form that you've shared, you'll see icons of the initials for each person making edits to the form.

When other users now try to navigate to your quiz or form that you previously shared, they'll now see a permissions error page. You can always create another new collaborate link again for your quiz or form if needed but it will be a new unique link. You'll need to send the new link to other people in order for them to continue collaborating on your quiz or form.
