Hey community!

I have office 365 using it for our work, I have created a survey in which I have entered alot of detail, but now I am unable to edit the survey!

I see online I should be able to click 'Survey' and then edit survey,..

However the only option I have is 'New survey'??

Any help please!  Can I edit my survey??

    Hi Chris,

    Could you please try the following steps to see the outcome?

    1. Go to your OneDrive for Business library and select New -> Excel Survey.
    2. Enter the survey name -> Create. (Can you see the prompt to let you edit survey?)
    3. Enter the description and questions for your survey.
    4. Click Save and View -> Close.
    5. Check whether you can see other options under the Survey drop down.

    If the issue still exists, please confirm the following information for our further investigation.

    1. Does the issue happen in other SharePoint libraries?
    2. Please try a different browser to see the outcome.
    3. If you are in the OneDrive for Business new experience, could you please try to return to classic OneDrive to see if it works?
    4. You mentioned the issue also occur to other users in your organization. Please confirm.

    Thanks for your patience and cooperation.

    Hi Chris,

    How did you create the Excel survey? Did you click New on the library page then select Excel Survey? Generally, if it is an Excel workbook, the option under Survey will only be New Survey. Please create a new test survey to see the outcome.

    If the issue persists, I’d like to collect your tenant information. To protect your privacy, I have sent you a private message. Please access it via the link below:
