Can a live MS Forms response spreadsheet be moved into a manger only private channel?

Hi all,

I’m a manager trying to track overtime requests using Microsoft Forms. I have a situation where:

• Staff submit their responses via a Form • I want the response Excel to live in a location only managers can access (so staff cannot see it) • Our Teams setup has a channel with staff and a private manager channel, but Microsoft Forms won’t let me move an existing response Excel into a private channel • I don’t want to create a new Form or rely on Power Automate if possible 

Our alternatives might be:

• Keep the Form in OneDrive / main channel and limit Excel access to managers • Create a completely new Team for managers only and copy the Form there 

My questions:

1. Has anyone successfully moved a live Forms Excel into a private Teams channel? 2. Are there any workarounds besides using Power Automate? 3. What do people recommend for maintaining a manager-only live master spreadsheet wit
