How Do I Give Access to Edit a Google Form?

Published in Google Forms 2 mins read

You can grant editing access to a Google Form to others by following these steps:

  1. Open the Google Form: Go to your Google Drive and locate the form you want to share.
  2. Click on the "Share" button: You'll find this button at the top right corner of the form editor.
  3. Choose "Get link" or "Advanced" options:
    • Get link: This option allows you to share a link with edit access.
    • Advanced: This option provides more granular control over who can access the form and what they can do.
  4. Adjust the permissions:
    • For "Get link": Select "Editor" from the dropdown menu.
    • For "Advanced": You can add specific individuals or groups and select "Can edit" from the permissions menu.
  5. Copy the link or send the invitation: Once you've set the permissions, you can copy the link or send the invitation to the people you want to give editing access.

Example: You want to share a survey form with your team members and allow them to edit the questions and responses. You can use the "Get link" option and select "Editor" to grant them editing access.

Practical Insights:

  • Be mindful of the permissions you assign. "Editor" access allows users to make significant changes to the form, including adding, deleting, and modifying questions.
  • If you want to limit the editing capabilities, consider using the "Advanced" option and selecting more specific permissions, such as "Can view" or "Can edit responses."
  • Regularly review the permissions you have granted to ensure they are still appropriate.
