MicrosoftI'm confused. I just upgraded a group Form to the new syncing solution. I submitted a test reply without having the Excel workbook open on the web. The Power Automate flow associated with this form worked fine.
Q: What’s the difference between the old version and new version?
A:
I get the impression that the last bullet is true if you don't upgrade to the new syncing solution. If you do upgrade, the syncing happens automatically in the background with no need to open the Excel workbook.
If this is correct, the author of the blog needs to update the wording to avoid confusing everyone.
AngieRuth , my understanding
SergeiBaklanWow, that is not what I experienced when I tested it this morning. I did the upgrade on a group Form. I closed the Excel for web file. I submitted a response. The number of responses on the Form updated from 168 to 169 without having the Excel for web file open. My Power Automate flow worked without issue without making any changes.
junyuBPlease make this situation make sense.
AngieRuth , perhaps we speak about different scenarios. Previously file connected to Form from Excel for web synced without opening the file and without any flow. Now to sync the file we have to open it (by owner) or to use flow for syncing.
Quite often using of flow is extra unnecessary step. As well as opening the file to sync. If we don't use flow and never open the file nothing works.
