How to Add Comments to Questions in Microsoft Forms

Unfortunately, there’s no straightforward way to add a comment box to a regular form in MS Forms. However, as a workaround, you can insert different branches with your comments for different options in a question. When someone picks an option, the comment for that option will appear.

Below I’ve provided the steps to create branches as comments for different options in a Microsoft form.

  • Open your browser and go to office.com.
  • Sign in to your Microsoft account.
  • Select New Form. microsoft-forms-new-form
  • Click on the Add new button and select Choice. microsoft-forms-choice
  • Type your question and the options. microsoft-forms-create
  • Select Add new and choose Text. microsoft-forms-add-text
  • Add as many Text questions for every comment you want to make. microsoft-forms-add-questions
  • Write your comments in the Question field. microsoft-forms-add-comments
  • Click on 3 dots (More settings) for the question and select Add branching. microsoft-forms-add-branch
  • Expand the drop-down beside the option to which you want to add a comment. microsoft-forms-enable-branch
  • Select your comment for each option. microsoft-forms-link-comments
  • Click on each comment and choose End of the form for the Go to field.microsoft-forms-end-form
  • Go back to the main form page.

Now, whenever a responder chooses an option, your comment for that specific option will show up. The only problem with this method is that your comment will appear as a separate question. microsoft-forms-add-comments-done

Despite that, it is still a solid process to add comments to your form until Microsoft decides to include the comment feature in their forms.
