1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,973
A registration form can carry a known project name in its

2
00:00:03,973 --> 00:00:06,450
link so people do not retype it.

3
00:00:06,450 --> 00:00:11,051
We will make a fictional two-question form, pre-fill only Project name,

4
00:00:11,051 --> 00:00:13,528
and generate the URL without sending anything.

5
00:00:13,528 --> 00:00:16,006
Your name remains blank in the editor.

6
00:00:16,006 --> 00:00:19,899
Because an unpublished form cannot open for responders, the link is

7
00:00:19,899 --> 00:00:22,022
not a verified respondent view yet.

8
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:26,111
Create a private form titled Harbor Workshop Registration Practice.

9
00:00:26,111 --> 00:00:29,988
Add two Short answer questions: Project name and Your name.

10
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:34,252
The first will receive the fictional value Harbor Workshop; the second

11
00:00:34,252 --> 00:00:35,803
stays for the responder.

12
00:00:35,803 --> 00:00:40,455
Avoid collecting email addresses or asking real people to test this draft.

13
00:00:40,455 --> 00:00:44,719
If you already have a safe practice form, use a copy

14
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,433
rather than changing a production registration form.

15
00:00:48,033 --> 00:00:51,685
In the form editor, open the More menu at the top

16
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:53,677
right and select Pre-fill form.

17
00:00:53,677 --> 00:00:55,006
Google documents this route.

18
00:00:55,006 --> 00:00:58,658
A response-style view opens so you can choose starting values.

19
00:00:58,658 --> 00:01:02,310
Enter Harbor Workshop in Project name and leave Your name empty.

20
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:06,295
Do not press Submit in a normal response view; the pre-fill

21
00:01:06,295 --> 00:01:08,619
tool has its own Get link action.

22
00:01:09,219 --> 00:01:13,648
Look at the response-style pre-fill editor before generating a URL.

23
00:01:13,648 --> 00:01:17,709
Project name should read Harbor Workshop, while Your name remains empty.

24
00:01:17,709 --> 00:01:21,769
This establishes the starting values you are about to encode, not

25
00:01:21,769 --> 00:01:23,245
the actual respondent experience.

26
00:01:23,245 --> 00:01:27,674
The form is still unpublished, so a responder link cannot be opened.

27
00:01:27,674 --> 00:01:32,473
Do not call the editor preview a successful end-to-end link test.

28
00:01:33,073 --> 00:01:36,900
Click Get link, then copy the generated pre-filled URL.

29
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,111
Save it in the fictional practice notes rather than sending it.

30
00:01:41,111 --> 00:01:46,087
The URL exists, but responders cannot open it while the form remains unpublished.

31
00:01:46,087 --> 00:01:49,914
Keep secrets, personal identifiers, and passwords out of pre-filled

32
00:01:49,914 --> 00:01:52,976
values because they may appear in the URL.

33
00:01:52,976 --> 00:01:57,187
Generating the link creates no stored response; any later access test

34
00:01:57,187 --> 00:01:59,483
requires deliberate publication and reviewed permissions.

35
00:02:00,083 --> 00:02:04,548
The fictional exercise ends with the generated URL and no submitted response.

36
00:02:04,548 --> 00:02:08,641
If you later need to verify the respondent view, review the

37
00:02:08,641 --> 00:02:12,734
form's publication and access settings first, publish a safe practice

38
00:02:12,734 --> 00:02:15,711
copy deliberately, then open its pre-filled URL.

39
00:02:15,711 --> 00:02:20,176
Confirm the project value and blank name field, and stop before Submit.

40
00:02:20,176 --> 00:02:25,385
Do not invite people or claim that this unpublished demo already passed that test.
