Learn about editing forms and viewing responses.

The form responses are collected in a spreadsheet. The standard size limits for rows, cells, and columns apply to any spreadsheet associated with a form.

If you use Google Apps, you can choose to record the email addresses of people who fill out your form. To do this, select the checkbox next to 'Automatically collect respondent's yourdomain.com username' while you create the form. Survey recipients will see a message at the top of the form explaining that their username will be collected automatically.

To stop accepting entries to the form, click the Form menu of your spreadsheet and deselect Accepting responses.
