Things to keep in mind when making a Google Form public

Making a Google form public is a very easy task, but there are a couple of things to be kept in mind to ensure that your Google form is made public successfully.

How to make a Google Form public but not editable

There are two ways in which a user may interact with your form: as respondents or as collaborators.

• Respondents can view your form and provide their responses but, they can not edit the form or view other responses.
• Collaborators, on the other hand, can edit the form and the responses. You can add collaborators to a form by following the steps given below.

Step 1: Click on the “More options” button

Click on the “More options” button i.e. the three dots present next to the Send button.

Step 2: Select the “Add collaborators” option

From the options available, select the “Add collaborators” option. This will give you the facility to add the emails of the collaborators.

Step 3: Restrict the access

Another window will open where you need to enter the email of the people you want as collaborators to your form. You should ensure that the Google form access is set to “Restricted,” which means only the people you grant access to can edit the form.

Note : Selecting the other option i.e., “anyone with the link” will grant the editor access to anyone with the form URL/link and make your form publicly editable. Giving editor access to everyone should not be done in almost all cases.

Remember you can stop accepting responses any time

When you make a form public, there is a very high chance of getting a huge number of responses. However, if you’ve reached the limit of the responses you need, there is a simple way to stop receiving responses immediately.

Step 1: Go to the Responses tab in your Google Form

Go to the “Responses” tab present at the top of the form Here, you will find that the “Accepting responses” setting is turned on.
 

Step 2: Turn off “Accepting responses”

To stop receiving responses, turn “Accepting responses” off, and your form will no longer be available for responses. You may even enter a custom message to display when someone tries to respond after you’ve stopped accepting responses.
