Comment section
Hi
I would like a return facility in the comment box which isn't there at the moment for larger commentsAlso it would be better to have only one comment visible when I click on the comment box rather than all the comments boxes being visible at the same time
1 voteThanks for posting. This is a bug we found and have fixed internally. It is in the process of rolling out through rings of validation and should be in production in the next week or two.
Cheers,

Enable easy creation of surveys for OneDrive for Business/SharePoint authenticated users without compromising security
Now by default a user of OneDrive for Business/SharePoint simply cannot create a survey. Even if it is intended for other authenticated users only (without enabling anonymous guest links).
Now a survey can be created only if anonymous guest access is enabled at the site collection level by the admin. However, that is usually restricted by corporate security policies. More detailed explanation by this link: http://corypeters.net/2013/08/enabling-excel-survey-in-team-sites/
This is a major hindrance for the O365 Survey functionality adoption by O365 OneDrive for Business/SP Online users.
Please enable creation of Excel surveys for internal/authorized purposes.

Duplicate tabs
Add duplicate tab to the right-click tab menu.
15 votesWe are excited to announce that it is now possible to Duplicate worksheets in Excel Online.
There are still cases where Excel Online will be unable to duplicate a worksheet. Most notably, in case either one of the following is present in the worksheet:
- Images
- Shapes
- Charts
Excel Online team is working to resolve these limitations.
Please continue to leave feedback on the feature, to help us improve. -

Email notification from Excel Survey

Allow for Branding of Surveys in Excel Online.
I work in higher education and we use Surveys for a variety of reasons across the campus: professional development summary surveys, student surveys for course evaluation, parent and family surveys for a variety of reasons...and each purpose demands that we put our branding on the survey to extend university fidelity of information. Excel Surveys are a great tool with simple construction, great response collection, and excellent data management. Please Update Excel Online (Office 365) to allow for customized branding.

Add more question types to Excel Surveys (Google Forms has many more). Allow image support and layout changes on surveys.
Google Forms has more useful question response types that Excel Surveys does not have (i.e., multiple choice with radio inputs, checkboxes, grid, and scale). They also have image and video support and layout customization, which Excel Surveys does not. It would be nice to be able to add a logo to the heading of my surveys.

Mobile offline survey ability
In the field of international development there is a great need for a cheap or free way of data collection through mobile devices that allows someone to download a survey to their mobile device when they have internet connection and then complete the survey as many times as desired offline (while in the field) then upload the data when internet connection is available again.
Many developing countries do not have consistent access to the internet. There are companies that provide this ability but all are very expensive and out of reach for lots of development organizations. Lots of businesses need…

Online survey (form) - add header graphic and footer, or at least a text description as a question type
Insert a graphic to a header and also have the option of choosing to insert a text description so that we can format sections or add instructions. Page breaks would be nice too, for those long surveys.
