In the editor, use the right toolbar to add questions. Click the palette icon at the top to adjust colors and themes.
Google Forms auto-saves your work. Check the top for an "All changes saved in Drive" message.
After saving, you can close the browser tab or click the Google Forms logo to return to the main page.
Go to the main Google Forms page to see your list of forms. Your recent form should be visible.
To share, click the "Send" button at the top right. Choose from email, link, or embed options to distribute.
Here are the exact steps to make a backup copy of your Google Forms:
Locate and click on the specific Google Form from your list that you wish to make a copy of.
On the upper right-hand side of your screen, there's an icon with three vertical dots. Click on it to reveal a dropdown menu of more options.
From the dropdown menu, there's an option labeled "Make a copy." Select it to begin creating a duplicate of your form.
The new form tab will have the title prefixed with "Copy of." You can click on the title to rename the form as you see fit, ensuring you can identify it as your backup later.
It's crucial to ensure the backup's accuracy. Take a moment to verify if all the questions, settings, and design aspects of the original form are replicated in your copied version.
Your copied form is in the main directory of Google Drive.
Here are the exact steps to save your Google forms as PDFs:
Ensure you view the form as a respondent, not in editing mode. Click the "eye" icon which is located at the top-right to preview the form.
Locate the three vertical dots (or similar icon) at the top-right corner of your browser. This is usually the settings or options menu.
A dropdown menu will appear. From this list, choose the "Print" option to initiate the printing process.
In the print dialog box that pops up, find the "Destination" or "Printer" option. Change it to "Save as PDF" to ensure the form will be saved as a PDF file.
Once you've selected "Save as PDF" as the destination, click the "Save" button. Choose your desired location on your computer to store the PDF.
