How to Send a Google Form

Once your form (or quiz) is complete, there are a few ways to share it. Click the Send button, and choose one of the following:

  1. Email the Google Form
  • Enter the email address(es) of your target audience. You can also paste a list of addresses (separated by returns, comma, spaces, or semicolons).
  • Add a subject and customize the message.
  • Select Include form in email if you want the form to appear in the message; recipients can fill it out in their email client. If their email client or provider doesn’t support this, there will still be a link to the form.

Can Google Forms Be Printed?

Yes. You can print the forms via your browser’s print command, or save them as a PDF which you can also print.

You can also print the responses. Click on the responses tab, then the responses menu, and click Print all responses. It doesn’t matter if you are looking at the summary, question, or individual view.

Can Google Forms be Edited?

You can edit a form at any time via the same steps used to create a form. If the form has already received responses, it may affect the data and which responses are visible.

  • If you delete a response option, it’ll still show up in the summary, but it won’t appear when looking at the induvial responses, even though a responder submitted it.
  • If you change the question type to a similar one (e.g. multiple choice to dropdown) the responses will be retained in the Responses tab. If you change to a different type (e.g. paragraph to checkbox), they won’t appear. You can recover sponsors by clicking on the Responses tab, clicking the responses menu icon, and then clicking Select response destination and  Create a new spreadsheet is the default, which is what you want. Click Create and all recorded responses will be visible in that sheet.
