Is there a way to connect a document such as a Q & A (with interactive buttons for answers) onto a website we're building in Azure?

Hello KatherineKnight-8498,

Yes, you can add interactive Q&A functionality to your Azure PaaS website without using Power Pages. Here are two recommended solutions:

1. Microsoft Forms (Quickest Solution)

Microsoft Forms allows you to create interactive questionnaires with buttons and answers that embed directly into your website.

Implementation:

• Create your Q&A form at Microsoft Forms
• Get the embed code from sharing options
• Add the iframe to your Azure-hosted website

Benefits:

• No coding required
• Built-in response collection and analytics
• Works with any Azure PaaS hosting (App Service, Static Web Apps, etc.)

Reference: Microsoft Forms service description

2. Azure Static Web Apps (Custom Solution)

For a fully customized interactive Q&A experience, build your own application using modern frameworks.

Implementation:

• Build your Q&A interface using HTML/CSS/JavaScript or frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue
• Deploy to Azure Static Web Apps
• Add Azure Functions for backend processing (optional)
• Store responses in Azure Cosmos DB or Azure SQL

Benefits:

• Complete customization control
• Serverless PaaS architecture
• Global CDN distribution
• Built-in CI/CD from GitHub/Azure DevOps
• Free SSL certificates

Reference: What is Azure Static Web Apps?

Recommendation

• Choose Microsoft Forms if you need a quick, simple solution with no coding
• Choose Azure Static Web Apps if you need custom branding and full control over the user experience

Both solutions are fully managed Azure PaaS services that work perfectly with your existing Azure website.
