    Save responses on Yandex Disk

    Warning

    If you logged in to Yandex Forms for business via an identity federation, saving responses to Yandex Disk is unavailable.

    Click Save on Yandex Disk. To save attachments from the form to Yandex Disk, select Save to Yandex Disk with attached files..

    • If you choose the XLSX file format, the table with responses opens in the Yandex Disk online editor.
    • If you select CSV or JSON, a folder with the saved file opens on Yandex Disk.
    • If new tabs are blocked from opening in your browser, a link to the saved file appears next to the Save to Yandex Disk button.
    • The attached files will be available in the Yandex.Forms/<Form ID>/Files folder on Yandex Disk and via the link from the list of responses.

    You can access the responses saved on Yandex Disk from any device and share them with other users. For more information about working with Yandex Disk, see Help.

View responses individually

Warning

If responses to the form are archived, you can't view individual responses.

  1. Select the form and open the Responses tab.

  2. Select the By responses tab.

  5. To send a link to another user, select a response and click Share.

    Note

    In Yandex Forms for business, responses can only be accessed via a link by the organization employees. Responses to personal forms can be accessed via a link by any users without authorization.

Get files that are attached to a form

Files that users attached to the form are available via links that you can find in the list of responses:

  1. Open the list of recent responses, download the responses in a file, or save them to Yandex Disk.

  2. In the list, find the response that has a link to a file and click it.

If files are uploaded to Yandex Disk

When you click the link, the file page opens on Yandex Disk. In this case, image and document preview is unavailable.

Yandex Disk stores files for an indefinite time. You can share them with other users.

  • To download the file or share it click .
  • To view a list of all files attached to the form, go to the folder by clicking .
If files are stored on the Yandex Forms server

When you click the link, the file opens for viewing in your browser or downloads to your computer.

If you send a link to another user, they'll need to log in to their Yandex account to view the file.

Warning

Attached files are stored on the Yandex Forms server for 3 months. After this period expires, the files are deleted. We recommend uploading files to Yandex Disk or saving them to your computer.

  2. Scroll down to the list of prompts.

You can see how many responses each prompt has. For multiple-choice prompts, you can see the vote distribution.

Archive responses

Responses to a form's prompts are automatically archived if you haven't viewed or downloaded them in more than three months. In Yandex Forms for business, form responses are not archived.

After archiving responses:

  • You can view the list of recent responses, download them in a file, or save them to Yandex Disk. However, it takes several minutes to retrieve responses from the archive.

  • You can't view individual responses this way.

  1. On the Yandex Forms top panel, select My forms.

  2. Select the form and hover over the trigger.

  3. Click the icon and select Copy. All prompts and settings will be moved to the new form, but there won't be any responses in it.

  4. At the top of the page, you'll see a notification that the form has been copied. Click Go to form.

  5. Share a new link to the form.
