Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a link in Microsoft Forms.

‍

Adding a link is the best way to direct SaaS users to your privacy policy, technical documentation, or an external website. Follow these steps to set it up:

‍

On your Microsoft 365 main dashboard, click Apps to see all available tools.
Click on Forms to open Microsoft Forms.
Click New Form or open the specific form where you want to include a clickable link.
Select the question or section where the hyperlink should appear.
Click the three dots (...) in the lower-right corner of the question block.
Select Subtitle to create a dedicated space for your link.
Type or paste the URL directly into the subtitle field.
Once you have finished adding your hyperlink, click Style to customize your form's appearance.
Click Preview to verify that the link opens correctly in a new browser tab.

📌 Why this matters

Adding links to your forms transforms them from simple data collection tools into strategic touchpoints that build trust and reduce support tickets. When you link to privacy policies or terms of service directly within forms, you're meeting legal compliance requirements while keeping users in your workflow.

The real advantage comes from linking to help documentation or FAQ pages right where users might have questions, preventing form abandonment and reducing the back-and-forth emails that typically follow incomplete submissions.
