Forms Pro will be a part of the Dynamics 365 space and will release features in preview over the next 6 months. The goal of Forms Pro is to be an enterprise survey tool that builds on the feature set Microsoft Forms with the goal of allowing users to Design, Distribute, and Analyze their forms and responses.

    • Additional Question Types
