Overview of Google Form Settings
Beyond those mentioned above, there are three form settings categories. These are General, Presentation, and Quizzes. More on quizzes later in this article.
General Settings
- Collect email addresses of the responders
- Send a receipt to each responder once they’ve submitted (with the option of allowing the responder to opt out)
- Limit the responses to one per person (validated via email addresses)
- Allow responders to reopen the form and edit their responses
- See a summary of all responses
Presentation Settings
- Show a progress bar. This option is good for forms that have multiple sections since it informs responders of how much of the form is left to complete.
- Shuffle the order of questions (as mentioned above)
- Give the responders a link to submit another response
- Change the text of the message responders see once they submit the form
You can change a few form settings to become the default for any future form. These settings include collecting email addresses, making questions required, and the point value for quiz questions. Change these options by clicking on the form menu icon, clicking Preferences, and making the desired changes.
