Results and Storage

Where your reads are kept, how to come back to one, and what to do when storage fills up

Every text or file you read becomes a result. The dialog opens on the list of them.

The results list

Each row shows the source, how many questions were found and the date. Results still to be added come first. Results already added are dimmed and marked Added with the date.

Click a row to open its questions. Click New, or Read another text or file at the bottom of the list, to read something else.

Come back later

Results are kept with the form, not in your browser. Close the dialog, close the form, come back another day: the results are still there, with any edits you made.

Anyone who can edit the form and opens Form Builder on it sees the same results.

The same source twice

Paste the same text or pick the same file again and the add-on recognises it. It shows You already read this with the date, and two choices:

Open those questions. Go to the result you already have.
Read it again. Read the source afresh, for example because the file changed. The new questions replace that result's questions.

Delete a result

Hover over a row and click the bin. Confirm with Delete.

Deleting a result only removes it from the dialog. Questions already added to the form stay on it.

Storage

Results are stored in the form itself, and Google gives each form a fixed amount of room for that. Most forms never come near it.

When more than 60% is used, a storage indicator appears in the toolbar and shows how full it is. If storage fills up, a new read cannot be saved and the dialog says The storage for results on this form is full. Delete results you no longer need to make room.

Add the Questions to Your Form

Choose where the questions go and whether the form takes the title found, then add them
