This article is for faculty, staff, and students who want to create a form, quiz, or survey using OneDrive for Business.
With Microsoft Forms, anyone can create surveys, quizzes, and polls, invite others to respond to it using almost any web browser or mobile device, see real-time results as they are submitted, use built-in analytics to evaluate responses, and export results to Excel for additional analysis or grading.
## Creating a Basic Form
1. Sign in to OneDrive at [onedrive.live.com](http://onedrive.live.com).
2. Click **New **and choose **Forms for Excel** from the drop-down menu.
3. Choose a name for the form.
4. Click **Add New** and choose the type of question.
- For **Choice** questions, add a question and options. If multiple selections should be allowed, enable **Multiple answers**. **Shuffle options** and **drop-down** can also be enabled by clicking the **...** icon in the bottom right corner of the question.
- For **Text** questions, add the question. If a long answer is desired, it can be enabled by selecting the **Long answer** icon.
- For **Rating **questions, add the question. Then, choose the number of **Levels** and the **Symbol** to be used. The symbols can be labeled by clicking the **...** icon in the bottom right corner of the question and then selecting **Label**.
- For **Date** questions, add the question.
- For **Ranking **questions, add the question and options.
- For **Likert** questions, add the question, statements, and options.
- For **File upload** questions, add the question, file number limit, and single file size limit. To limit the types of files allowed, click the **...** icon in the bottom right corner of the question, select **File type**, and check the files that should be allowed.
- For **Net promoter score** questions, add the question and the scale labels.
All questions can be made required by selecting the **Required **icon.
## Creating Sections
Sections break the form up into multiple pages. Instead of seeing all questions on one page, users will only see one section at a time. To navigate to the next section, all required questions must be answered and the user must click the **Next** button.
1. Click **Add New.**
2. Select **Section.**
3. Enter a section name, and if desired, a description.
## Adding Branching
With branching, a user's response to a question can dictate what happens next in the survey. On any question, branching can be added by:
1. Select the **...** icon in the bottom right corner of the question.
2. Click **Add Branching**
3. Next to an option or at the end of a question, choose the question or section the survey should go to next.
## Adjusting Form Settings

2. Select **Settings.**
On this menu, you will have the ability to enable the following features:

## Changing the Form Theme
