1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,771
Someone opens your Google Form and says it asks for a Google sign-in.

2
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:08,456
First decide what success means: should anyone with the link be

3
00:00:08,456 --> 00:00:11,471
able to answer, or is this an internal form?

4
00:00:11,471 --> 00:00:15,492
Our fictional Workshop Feedback form is meant for anyone with its link.

5
00:00:15,492 --> 00:00:19,177
We will inspect its settings and test the responder link while

6
00:00:19,177 --> 00:00:22,193
signed out, without sending the exercise to real customers.

7
00:00:22,793 --> 00:00:25,693
In Forms, check that the form is published.

8
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:29,680
Google's current sharing help says an unpublished form cannot accept

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,218
respondents, even if they have a link.

10
00:00:32,218 --> 00:00:35,843
Open Published or Share, inspect responder access, and choose Anyone

11
00:00:35,843 --> 00:00:40,193
with the link only when the form is intended to be public.

12
00:00:40,193 --> 00:00:43,456
Copy the responder link rather than the editing link.

13
00:00:43,456 --> 00:00:46,356
Organization settings may limit which access choices appear.

14
00:00:46,956 --> 00:00:50,634
Open Settings, expand Responses, and find Limit to 1 response.

15
00:00:50,634 --> 00:00:54,679
Google says this option requires respondents to sign in with a

16
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:58,724
Google Account, even when the form does not record their usernames.

17
00:00:58,724 --> 00:01:02,034
In our public practice plan, it should be off.

18
00:01:02,034 --> 00:01:06,080
If you genuinely need one response per person, keep it on

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,861
and explain the sign-in requirement to respondents instead of promising anonymous access.

20
00:01:11,461 --> 00:01:14,128
Still in Responses, inspect Collect email addresses.

21
00:01:14,128 --> 00:01:17,938
Verified collection confirms a respondent's Google Account address; our

22
00:01:17,938 --> 00:01:20,224
practice form uses Do not collect.

23
00:01:20,224 --> 00:01:22,891
Next scan every question for File upload.

24
00:01:22,891 --> 00:01:27,082
Google says respondents must sign in to upload a file, so

25
00:01:27,082 --> 00:01:31,654
removing that question changes the task you are asking them to do.

26
00:01:31,654 --> 00:01:35,845
Do not silently replace a required upload in a real workflow.

27
00:01:36,445 --> 00:01:40,178
An owner can open a form that a stranger cannot.

28
00:01:40,178 --> 00:01:44,658
Open the copied responder link in a separate signed-out browser session.

29
00:01:44,658 --> 00:01:48,765
Look for the actual question fields, then use only fictional answers

30
00:01:48,765 --> 00:01:50,258
in your practice form.

31
00:01:50,258 --> 00:01:55,485
A prompt offering to save progress is different from a gate that prevents submission.

32
00:01:55,485 --> 00:01:59,591
If the form remains restricted, recheck its responder audience and ask

33
00:01:59,591 --> 00:02:02,578
your Workspace administrator where organizational policy controls access.

34
00:02:03,178 --> 00:02:06,954
The practice card specifies two ordinary questions, no upload, no

35
00:02:06,954 --> 00:02:09,975
verified email collection, and no one-response limit.

36
00:02:09,975 --> 00:02:12,995
Compare the settings with the independent answer check.

37
00:02:12,995 --> 00:02:17,149
Those settings are necessary for this example, but they are not

38
00:02:17,149 --> 00:02:21,303
proof until the responder link works in a signed-out session.

39
00:02:21,303 --> 00:02:25,456
Record whether the visitor can view and submit the practice response;

40
00:02:25,456 --> 00:02:29,610
avoid changing a real production form just to match the exercise.

41
00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:34,399
If a signed-out visitor can open the published responder link and

42
00:02:34,399 --> 00:02:38,239
submit the fictional practice response, you have verified the access path.

43
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:41,032
Repeat that check after changing limits or questions.

44
00:02:41,032 --> 00:02:44,872
If your form needs verified identity, one response per Google account,

45
00:02:44,872 --> 00:02:49,759
or file uploads, keep the sign-in requirement and explain it before people start.

46
00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:54,647
Use the guide's checklist to document the setting you chose and the result.
