Support update for InfoPath Forms Services in Microsoft 365

InfoPath Forms Services will be removed from SharePoint Online for all tenants after July 14, 2026, to align with the extended support end date of InfoPath Client 2013. If you're using InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Online, we recommend migrating to Power Apps, Power Automate, Forms, or other supported solutions. InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint lets organizations deploy their forms to SharePoint sites, enabling end users to fill out these forms in a web browser. For scenarios where InfoPath or InfoPath Forms services are currently being used, we recommend migrating to other modern solutions such as Power Apps, Power Automate and Forms. The existing InfoPath scenario in Microsoft 365 involves three types of customers: admin, InfoPath designer/publisher, InfoPath respondent. After InfoPath Forms Services are removed from Microsoft 365 SharePoint, the experience change would be as follows for different types of users. To understand how InfoPath is used in your organization, you can check the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool to scan the tenant for InfoPath usage. -------------------- Read more at https://bit.ly/3puORgp Source: Microsoft Tech Community SharePoint Blog
