Live Form Settings
Your Google Form has settings, and so does the live form. They are separate. Changing one never changes the other, and the live form's settings only apply to responses sent through the live link.
Opening the dialog
From Google Forms:
- Open the Form tab in the sidebar
- Click Live form settings
From your dashboard:
- Go to your live forms on skyfield.cloud
- Open the form
- Click Settings
The same dialog opens in both places, with the same five tabs.
The five tabs
| Tab | What it covers | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Respondents | Who can respond, one response per account, editing after submission, allowed email domains, a total response limit | Respondents and sign-in, Total response limit |
| Presentation | Whether remaining spots are shown, what a full choice looks like, the messages respondents read | Presentation |
| Schedule | An opening and closing date and time | Schedule |
| Notifications | Emails when the form or a question fills, and around a scheduled close | Notifications |
| Connect to sheet | A Google Sheet in your Drive that receives every response | Connect to sheet |
Every change saves as you make it. There is no Save button; a spinner next to a control means it is being written, and an error under it means it was not.
When the live form and the Google Form differ
Some settings exist on both sides, Collect email addresses and Limit to 1 response among them. When your Google Form has one of these set differently from the live form, the row shows a note: Your Google Form has Collect email addresses set to Verified. The live form is set separately, and your Google Form is not changed.
The note is information, not an error. If you want the two to match, change the live form's value; the add-on never edits your Google Form's settings.
The sidebar's Form tab also warns when your Google Form is stricter than the live form, for example when the Google Form requires sign-in and the live form does not. The live link is then more open than the original, which may or may not be what you want.
The summary row
The Live form settings row in the sidebar summarises the state in one line: Stops at 120 when a total response limit is set, Scheduled when a date window is, and the respondent setting otherwise, for example Google sign-in or Anyone, anonymous.
Licence
Respondents, Schedule and Connect to sheet need an active licence to change. When a trial or subscription has ended, those tabs show one banner, Changes need an active license, and their controls are disabled. Your saved settings keep working on the live form. Presentation and Notifications stay editable. Only the form's owner can upgrade; a co-editor sees who that is. See Plan changes.
