1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,616
A Google Form accepts a request, but its generic after-submit page

2
00:00:04,616 --> 00:00:06,884
leaves the respondent wondering what happened.

3
00:00:06,884 --> 00:00:11,042
In a private fictional workshop form, we will set a short

4
00:00:11,042 --> 00:00:14,822
confirmation message, submit one Thursday test answer, and inspect the

5
00:00:14,822 --> 00:00:16,712
page the respondent actually sees.

6
00:00:16,712 --> 00:00:20,870
The check is the exact saved message and one test response.

7
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:24,272
That page is separate from any email receipt setting.

8
00:00:24,872 --> 00:00:30,495
Create a practice form with the one multiple-choice question and Tuesday or Thursday options.

9
00:00:30,495 --> 00:00:35,743
Keep it in a permitted account and restrict responder access to the test account.

10
00:00:35,743 --> 00:00:39,866
Do not use real contact details or imply a public form

11
00:00:39,866 --> 00:00:43,240
was tested if only the editor preview was observed.

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,460
In the form editor select Settings, expand Presentation, and find Confirmation message. Choose Edit.

13
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:54,276
Google's current help documents this route; an older tutorial may show

14
00:00:54,276 --> 00:00:58,692
a gear icon or a separate Presentation tab, so follow the

15
00:00:58,692 --> 00:01:01,100
labels shown in your current editor.

16
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:02,755
Enter exactly: Thanks.

17
00:01:02,755 --> 00:01:04,514
Your practice request is recorded.

18
00:01:04,514 --> 00:01:07,329
You can close this page. Save the setting.

19
00:01:07,329 --> 00:01:11,199
The wording tells the fictional respondent what was recorded and gives

20
00:01:11,199 --> 00:01:12,606
a clear next step.

21
00:01:12,606 --> 00:01:17,531
It makes no promise about an email receipt, which is a separate Forms setting.

22
00:01:17,531 --> 00:01:21,049
Keep the copy brief enough to read on a phone.

23
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:26,352
Use the form's permitted responder view and submit a fictional Thursday answer.

24
00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:30,692
Read the post-submit page, not only the setting in the editor.

25
00:01:30,692 --> 00:01:32,863
It should display the saved message.

26
00:01:32,863 --> 00:01:36,842
If the form is unpublished or its access settings block the

27
00:01:36,842 --> 00:01:40,820
test account, resolve that access in a private practice copy before

28
00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:42,267
claiming the respondent result.

29
00:01:42,867 --> 00:01:47,080
The confirmation message is visible on the web page after submission.

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,527
It does not prove that Google emailed the respondent.

31
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:54,740
If you need an email receipt, investigate the relevant email collection

32
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:58,953
and response receipt settings separately and test those with consent; do

33
00:01:58,953 --> 00:02:02,400
not treat this display text as evidence of delivery.

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,035
The target after a permitted Thursday test submission is a respondent page saying, 'Thanks.

35
00:02:08,035 --> 00:02:09,834
Your practice request is recorded.

36
00:02:09,834 --> 00:02:14,150
You can close this page,' and one Thursday response in the form.

37
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:16,668
Verify both before claiming the test succeeded.

38
00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:20,264
The page does not prove that an email was delivered.

39
00:02:20,264 --> 00:02:24,580
If your test account cannot submit, check the form's publication and

40
00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:27,098
responder access in the private practice copy.

41
00:02:27,098 --> 00:02:29,975
The guide records the message and answer check.
