Microsoft Forms Finder using Session and/or Correlation ID

So, yeah, my professor claims they lost a lot of Microsoft Forms submissions. I looked back into that very form and it says "Your response has been submitted. This form only allows one response per person." or something like that, and then there's the collapsible "technical details" that shows the session ID, and correlation ID. I thought, instead of giving us 0 as score, I'll just give the technical details to my professor.

I have then messaged my professor through Microsoft Teams, about how they might possibly find my own submission using those details, so I sent them my session ID, and correlation ID. My question is, would they able to? I don't really know the "point-of-view" of the teacher when using Microsoft Forms but I have watched a video about it but it just narrates how to make and put, and that and that... I really hope my professor ( a-bit-old) would be able to find it. If not, please improve Microsoft Forms in terms of finding a sent response. Session ID's are unique, right? That should be easy, no?

in short: Would a teacher be able to find a Microsoft Forms submission using session ID and/or correlation ID?

Thank you!

    So, the answer is no? I just sent my session ID and correlation ID to my professor and I honestly do not know if they would be able to find it using those details, now I feel bad. 'cause you know, they must have been looking it up endlessly, lol, or not

    Hi Henri,

    I'm Nik, an independent advisor here to assist you with this.

    Just to give you a background that you get a session/correlation ID if there is a failure/technical glitch to the application and it is only meaningful to the technical team to check sequence to code execution but it doesn't have any forms responses that you have submitted.

    However, you could ask your professor to check all responses from here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/chec...

    refer section: "View form results in an Excel workbook"

    Regards

    Nik

    I understand.
    Your professor will not get any details from session/correlation ID. Please let me know if you have any question that I can help you today.
