Auto-save your response progress on a Google Form

When you fill in a Google Form in your Google Account, your progress is saved automatically as a draft for 30 days. This means that if you can't complete a form or need to switch devices, you don't have to start from scratch the next time that you open the form.

Important: If you're offline, autosave doesn't work.

When you save a draft, Draft saved appears at the top of the form.

If you sign in to a Google Account and Saving disabled is at the top of the form, the creator may have disabled draft response autosaving on their form. If you want to turn on autosaving, contact the form owner.

Factors that may affect saved responses:

• If you lose access to a form, you also lose access to your draft.
• If the form owner:
  • Deletes a question, your answer to that question is deleted.
  • Makes a change to a question option that you've selected, it's no longer selected in your draft.
  • Makes changes to branching logic in a form, you may lose access to certain pages of that form.

Tips

• If the form owner changes the question stem or other answer options, your answer won't be affected.
