After creating a Google Form, you must share it with respondents and collaborators. When you share your form with collaborators, they can make changes, while respondents can only fill out the form.
Here, we provide a step-by-step guide for sharing a Google Form with both collaborators and respondents.
To share a form with a collaborator, follow these steps.
- Go to your form on Google Forms.
- Select the form which you want to share.
- Click on the three-dot icon in the “top-right corner” (besides your profile picture).
- Select Add Collaborators.
- You can add specific people to your form as collaborators by entering their email addresses and clicking on Send.
- Under “General Access,” you can set the access of your form either as Restricted or Anyone with the link. When you choose Restricted, only people you’ve added as collaborators can access the form. The other option allows anyone to access it through the link.
- Copy the URL through the Copy link button and click on Done.
- You can then share the copied link with anyone you want through email, social media, etc.
You can also share the Google form with respondents, who will not be allowed to make changes to the form. Follow these guidelines:
- Go to Google Sbeets and open the form you want to share.
- Click on the Send button located in the top-right corner. Google Forms provides multiple ways to share the form with respondents.
- First, you can share the form via email. Enter the recipient’s email address, subject, and message.
- Check Include form in email to let recipients fill the form directly from their inbox.
- To share the form via URL, click on the link icon. Here, you can directly copy the link or shorten it before copying.
- If you want to embed the form to your website, click on the embed icon, specify the dimensions of the embedded form, and click on Copy.
This copies the HTML code to your clipboard, which you can use to add the form to your website.
- Lastly, you can share the Google Form directly on Facebook or Twitter using the social media buttons on the right side of the screen. Clicking on these buttons opens Facebook or Twitter, where you can post the link to the form.
- If you wish, you can turn on the Collect emails options at the top-left to gather the respondents’ email addresses.
