View & manage form responses

Easily find all responses in a spreadsheet.

1. Open a form in Google Forms.
2. At the top of the form, click Responses.
3. At the top right, click View in Sheets .

Important: If you've shared a form with a collaborator, they may also have access to the form's linked spreadsheet. If you want to remove a collaborator, you'll have to remove them from the form and the spreadsheet separately.

Responders can access the published forms, but you can also stop accepting responses, and responders will get the message 'The form is no longer accepting response' or a custom message.

1. In a published form, at the top right, click Published .
2. Turn off Accepting responses.
3. Optional: To edit the message shown to the responder, click Edit.
4. Click Save.

Tip: You can't accept responses in unpublished forms.

Record the email addresses from people who fill in your form. When someone takes your survey, they will be required to enter their email address before they can submit the form.

Collect verified emails

Important: Respondents must confirm that their Google Account email address gets collected with their response. The confirmation displays on each page of the form.

If your form creates charts in your 'Responses' section, you can copy and paste them into other files.

3. At the top right of a chart, click Copy .
4. Paste the chart wherever you would like.

Tip: If you copy and paste a chart into Google Docs, Slides or Drawings, you can update the chart directly from the doc, presentation or drawing as long as you have edit access to the  doc, presentation or drawing, and the form.

If you collect responder emails, you can choose whether respondents get a copy of their answers.

Tip: In certain circumstances, responders may not receive the expected response receipts due to spam filters or other counter-abuse measures.

If certain features in your form don't work as expected, it might be because it has a large number of responses. These limits ensure that Forms work reliably for all users. Your form continues to receive responses, which you can download in a CSV file.

• If you can't find the response summary, it could be because your form has more than 50,000 responses.
• If your form's responses aren't synced with Sheets, it could be because your form has more than 100,000 responses.
• If you download your responses in a CSV file and the responses aren't sorted by the timestamp of when users submit them, it could be because your form has more than 10,000 responses.
• If you can't find the question or individual view for responses in Forms, it could be because your form has more than 10,000 responses.
