Google Forms: 3 Things to Know

Google recently updated the sharing menu in Google Forms. The new Publish button gives the form owner more granular control over who can edit and respond to the form. There are three (3) things to know about this update:

1. Publish: Respondents cannot access the linked form until it is published. The updated menu provides greater control, similar to how file owners can limit the sharing of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Sites in Drive.
   
   
   
   
2. Google Classroom: When you assign a Google Forms quiz to your students, Google Classroom automatically publishes the form so only your rostered students can respond.
   
   
3. Have you had trouble making a copy of a Google Form recently? Shortly after this update rolled out, teachers started reporting error messages when trying to make a copy of Google Form quizzes. If you use "Locked Mode" with your quizzes, you may need to Remove the locked mode setting before making a copy of your quiz. Review this TIP Sheet for more details.
