How to Prevent Submission Deleting

Control who can delete form submissions

Team Forms allows you to configure granular permissions for form responses. For example, you may want responders to be able to edit their submissions, but not delete them. These settings can be configured directly from the form permissions screen.

To prevent users from deleting submissions:

  1. Navigate to the form builder screen for your form.

  2. Click the ”…” icon in the top-right corner and select “Permissions”.

  3. You will see several toggle options, including:

    • Allow submissions to be edited

    • Allow submissions to be deleted

    • Restrict users from accessing each others responses

    By default, both the edit and delete settings are enabled.

  4. Disable the “Allow submissions to be deleted” setting.

Once disabled, responders will no longer be able to delete submissions from the form.

Note: Team owners can still delete submissions even when deletion is disabled. Disabling deletion also does not prevent users from deleting the underlying files directly in SharePoint if they already have permission to do so.
