Usage

Google Forms is a survey administration app that is included in the Google Drive office

suite along with Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.[1] Forms features all of
the collaboration and sharing features found in Docs, Sheets, and Slides. [2]

Updates and features[edit]

Google Forms is a tool that allows collecting information from users via a personalized
survey or quiz. The information is then collected and automatically connected to a
spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is populated with the survey and quiz responses. [3] The
Forms service has undergone several updates over the years. New features include,
but are not limited to, menu search, shuffle of questions for randomized order, limiting
responses to once per person, shorter URLs,[4] custom themes,[5] automatically
generating answer suggestions when creating forms, and an "Upload file" option for
users answering questions that require them to share content or files from their
computer or Google Drive. The upload feature is only available through G Suite. [6] In
October 2014, Google introduced add-ons for Google Forms, that enable third-party
developers to make new tools for more features in surveys. [7]
In July 2017, Google updated Forms to add several new features. "Intelligent response
validation" is capable of detecting text input in form fields to identify what is written and
ask the user to correct the information if wrongly input. Depending on file-sharing
settings in Google Drive, users can request file uploads from individuals outside their
respective company, with the storage cap initially set at 1 GB, which can be changed to
1 TB. A new checkbox grid enables multi-option answers in a table. In Settings, users
can make changes that affect all new forms, such as always collecting email addresses.
