Respondents and Sign-in
The Respondents tab of Live form settings decides who can answer on the live link.
Collect email addresses
Three settings, the same three Google Forms offers:
- Do not collect. Anyone with the link can respond, anonymously. The default.
- Responder input. The form asks for an email address, typed by the respondent and not checked.
- Verified. Respondents sign in with a Google account, and the account's email is recorded with the response.
Only Verified identifies a person reliably, which is why the three settings below need it.
Settings that need Verified
These appear once Collect email addresses is set to Verified. Until then the tab says so in one line.
Limit to 1 response. A signed-in account can answer once. A second attempt shows them their earlier response instead of a blank form. This is the setting that stops one person taking several scarce places under different names, as long as they cannot use several Google accounts.
Allow response editing. Responses can be changed after being submitted. Together with Limit to 1 response, a respondent who picked the wrong session can come back and change it; the place they held is released and the new one claimed in the same all-or-nothing step, so editing can never over-book a choice either.
Restrict to email domains. A comma-separated list, for example school.org, students.school.org. Only Google accounts on those domains can respond. Leave it blank to allow any Google account.
Limit total responses
The whole-form cap, counting every response whichever choices it picked. It has its own guide: Total response limit.
The Google Form's own setting
If your Google Form collects emails differently from the live form, the row shows a note saying so. The live form is set separately, and your Google Form is not changed. See Live form settings.
Licence
This tab needs an active licence to change. Saved values keep working on the live form after a plan ends.
