Enhancing Your Google Forms: Updates and Tips for Effective Use

Hi everyone! It’s Brad here, sharing an exciting update in Google Forms, along with a few reminders to help you get the most out of this powerful tool. Whether you’re creating quizzes, surveys, or feedback forms, these tips will help streamline your process and ensure you’re using Google Forms effectively.


1. Managing Form Responders

Let’s say you’ve already created a form and are ready to manage who can respond. At the top of your form, you’ll notice a purple rectangle with white text. This is where you can manage settings for responders. For example, if your form is restricted to your organization, such as the Methacton School District, you can adjust permissions here.

  • Change Access: To allow anyone with the link to respond, select the purple rectangle, make your changes, and click "Done." You’ll notice the purple rectangle turns into a white rectangle with purple text—a simple visual cue that settings have been updated.
  • Turn Off Responses: If your form is no longer accepting responses, you can easily disable it here. Additionally, you can customize the message responders see when they try to access a closed form.

2. Notifications for Responses

Need to stay on top of incoming responses? Google Forms makes it simple:

  1. Navigate to the Responses tab.
  2. Click the three-dot menu in the upper right corner.
  3. Select Get email notifications for new responses.

You can enable or disable notifications as needed to suit your workflow.


3. Creating Quizzes and Customizing Settings

Google Forms is not just for surveys—it’s also an excellent tool for creating quizzes! Here’s how to get started:

  • Enable Quiz Mode: Go to Settings and toggle on the quiz feature. You can then adjust settings like point values, correct answers, and feedback for each question.
  • Collect Emails: Decide whether to collect email addresses for tracking purposes.
  • Limit Responses: Restrict responses to one per person, or allow users to edit their responses after submission.
  • Provide Copies of Responses: Give respondents the option to receive a copy of their answers, either by request or automatically.

4. Presentation Options

Customize how your form appears to users under the Presentation section. Options include:

  • Showing a progress bar.
  • Shuffling question order.
  • Adding a confirmation message for completed forms.

These updates and tips are just a few ways to enhance your experience with Google Forms. If you have questions or need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks for reading, and happy form-making!

Take care,
Brad
