Tere are possible risks associated with placing team project forms in personal document space

As we know, we enter into the Forms website, and then create a Forms, but this Forms is placing in personal document space. If the colleague who created this form has a position adjustment, project responsibility transfer, etc., then the Forms can no longer be used by the team, and even the information that has been published will be invalidated, because you need to have the creator’s account to edit, view, etc.

  • As shown in the image, the three dots above the “… menu”, select “Open in Sharepoint”
  • The web page that opens is the folder directory you just opened
