To share a Google Form so that others can fill it out, follow these steps:
1. **Create or Open the Form**:
- Go to Google Forms: [forms.google.com](https://forms.google.com).
- Either create a new form or open an existing one that you want to share.
2. **Click on the Send Button**:
- Once you're in the form editor, look for the "Send" button, typically located at the top right corner of the page. It looks like a paper airplane.
3. **Choose a Sharing Method**:
- In the "Send form" window, you will see several options for sharing:
- **Email**: You can enter email addresses directly to send the form via email.
- **Link**: Click on the link icon (a chain link) to get a shareable link to the form. You can click on “Copy” to copy the link to your clipboard.
- **Embed HTML**: If you want to embed the form on a website, you can click on the <> icon to get an HTML code snippet.
4. **Adjust Link Settings (if needed)**:
- If you want to shorten the URL, check the box next to “Shorten URL” before copying it. This makes the link easier to share.
5. **Share the Link**:
- Once you have copied the link, you can share it through email, messaging apps, social media, or any platform where you want people to access the form.
6. **Adjust Form Settings (if necessary)**:
- If you need to limit who can respond to the form, you can go to the "Settings" (gear icon) and adjust settings related to respondent access, like requiring sign-in or limiting responses to one per person.
After completing these steps, anyone with the link will be able to access and fill out your Google Form.
