Features

The add-on has three tabs. Questions is where the caps live, Form holds everything that applies to the whole form, and Account covers your plan. The live form itself has a settings dialog of its own, reached from the Form tab or from your dashboard.

Questions tab

Per-choice limits. Give each option in a multiple choice, checkbox, or dropdown question its own number of places. A blank stays unlimited. See Per-choice limits.

A total for the question. One shared pool of places across all of a question's options, on top of or instead of per-choice numbers.

Sync. Your questions and choices are copied to the live form whenever you open the sidebar, and on demand with Sync now. Keep editing the form in Google Forms; the live copy follows.

Live status. The tab tells you when limits are live, when a push has not landed yet, when your original Google Form is still open, and when the form is a quiz, which the live form does not support.

Form tab

Live form. Opens the live link in a new tab, so you see what respondents see.

Responses. Everything submitted to the live form, viewable and exportable as CSV from your dashboard. See Responses and export.

Live form settings. Opens the settings dialog for the live form, five tabs:

• Respondents. Who can respond, one response per account, editing after submission, allowed email domains, and a total response limit for the whole form. See Respondents and sign-in and Total response limit.
• Presentation. Whether remaining spots are shown, what a full choice looks like, and the messages respondents read. See Presentation.
• Schedule. An opening and closing date and time for the live form. See Schedule.
• Notifications. Emails when the form fills, when a question fills, and around a scheduled close. See Notifications.
• Connect to sheet. A Google Sheet in your Drive that receives every response. See Connect to sheet.

The row under Live form settings summarises the state, for example Stops at 120 or Scheduled. See Live form settings.

Share link. The live link, ready to copy, open, or download as a QR code. See Share the live link.

Reset counts. Put every choice back to zero for a new intake, keeping your limits. See Reset for a new intake.

Closing the original form. The sidebar offers to close the original Google Form once limits are set, and warns while it is open. See Closing the original form and Plan changes.

What respondents see

Spots left, live. Each capped choice carries a badge, for example "3 left" or "Full", updating on every open page as other people submit. No refresh.

Full choices close for everyone at once. The moment a choice reaches its limit it is marked full on every open page at the same instant.

Pages and routing. Sections from your Google Form become pages, and "go to section based on answer" routing on choices is respected.

Phones and languages. The live form works on a phone, and follows the respondent's language.

What the add-on does not do

It installs no triggers. Nothing runs on a schedule and nothing runs after a submission on the Google Forms side. Enforcement happens on the live form, at the moment of submission.

It does not touch your questions. The only change it ever makes to your Google Form is opening or closing it, and only when you ask. The live form's own settings never change your Google Form's settings.

It does not host quizzes. A form with "Make this a quiz" turned on shows respondents a notice on the live link instead of the questions.
