SharePoint Forms basics!

SharePoint forms are used to collect and store data within a SharePoint site. They can be used for various purposes, such as collecting user information, tracking tasks, or creating surveys. SharePoint forms are primarily intended for internal use within an organization. They are typically used to collect and manage data within a company's SharePoint site, a closed system that is only accessible to authorized users. This allows for better control over who has access to the collected data and ensures that the information is kept confidential.

Limitations of SharePoint Forms for external use

Sharepoint forms collect and manage information within a company's SharePoint site, only accessible to authorized users. It can also be considered a limitation in some cases, as it limits the ability to share the collected data with external parties or to collect information from external sources. For example, some organizations may need to collect data from customers, vendors, and partners, which would require using forms that can be accessed from outside the company's SharePoint site.

To overcome this limitation, organizations use third-party tools or services to create forms that can be embedded in external websites or shared via URL.
