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

2. At the top, click Responses.
3. Turn "Accepting responses" from On to Off.

After you've turned this off, you'll see a message in the "Responses" tab that says "Not accepting responses."

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

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

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 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 Forms work reliably for all users. Your form continues to receive responses, which you can download in a CSV file.

• If you don’t find the response summary, it can be because your form has more than 50,000 responses.
• If your form’s responses aren’t synced with Sheets, it can 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 when users submit them, it can be because your form has more than 10,000 responses.
• If you don’t find the question or individual view for responses in Forms, it can be because your form has more than 10,000 responses.
