Add items to your form

You can add different types of questions to your forms by clicking Form in your spreadsheet and Add item at the top of the editing page. Here are some of the question types you can choose: checkboxes, grid, drop-down lists with options, multiple choice, paragraph text, which allow for long answers, and scale, to ask your invitees to grade something in a scale from 1-5, for instance.

Add section headers if you'd like to divide your form in sections to make it easier to read and complete. Simply select Section header from the Add item drop-down menu.

Each section header can have a title, which appears in a larger font, and a section description.

Adding pages and allowing navigation to a specific page

If you've created a long form, for example, and would like to make it easier for your respondents to fill it out, you can add page breaks. From the Add item drop-down menu, select Page break.

Once you've created a form with multiple pages, you can add different sets of questions based on a previous answer within the form, and allow people to skip irrelevant sections. For example, you can create a form asking your respondents to select their language and then direct them to questions written in their language.

Simply add a multiple choice question to your form, and select the option labeled 'Go to page based on answer.'

• Delete: To delete a question, click the Delete button to the right of the question you want to delete.

Embedding a form

If you'd like to embed your form in a website or blog, after you create and save your form, click the More actions drop-down menu at the top of the form, select the Embed option, and paste the URL into your site or blog.

• You can edit the confirmation message that people filling out your form see after submitting their responses. Click the More actions drop-down menu at the top-right of the form, and select Edit confirmation.
• If you've edited a form and need to send it again, click the Edit and resend button in the lower-left corner of the Share tab.
