Create Google Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and most important step before creating anonymous forms is to the first setup and create a Google Form. Whether you want to create a<a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/conduct-online-tests-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> test form<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/add-timer-to-a-quiz-in-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quiz<\/a>, survey, or even <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/make-a-poll-in-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/make-a-poll-in-google-forms\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poll<\/a> for that matter, you can create anything in Google Form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just head over to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/u\/0\/?tgif=d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Form<\/a> directly but do sign in with your Google account or create a new one. Besides, another option is to go through G-drive. Select a \u2018Blank Form\u2019 or quiz, or you can also choose from pre-built templates, based on what you are using the form for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/google-forms-main-page-1024x510.webp\" alt=\"google-forms-main-page\" class=\"wp-image-3832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/google-forms-main-page-1024x510.webp 1024w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/google-forms-main-page-300x149.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/google-forms-main-page-768x382.webp 768w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/google-forms-main-page-1536x765.webp 1536w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/google-forms-main-page-2048x1020.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now to the crucial part of creating a Google form test i.e, adding content &#8211; Q&amp;A. Beforehand, give a title and description to your form. With the Q&amp;A format at the heart of Google Forms, the Workspace tool offers various question and response options, it totally depends upon what you\u2019re using forms for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It includes different question format types &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/create-multiple-choice-quiz-in-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/create-multiple-choice-quiz-in-google-forms\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> multiple-choice<\/a>, dropdown, long paragraphs, and the linear scale.

This is the way they can be anonymous as they will not have to share email IDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/anonymous-forms-settings-1024x731.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/anonymous-forms-settings-1024x731.webp 1024w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/anonymous-forms-settings-300x214.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/anonymous-forms-settings-768x548.webp 768w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/anonymous-forms-settings-1536x1096.webp 1536w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/anonymous-forms-settings.webp 1696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you must ensure that the &#8216;Limit 1 response&#8217; option is disabled, which is by default off. That will allow submitting multiple responses from each person. However this will ensure the complete anonymity of respondents as they will not have to share email IDs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"step-3-make-google-form-anonymous-using-extended-forms\">Step 3. Make Google Form Anonymous (using ExtendedForms)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving towards the main step of this blog &#8211; to create anonymous Google Forms (both for admins &amp; responses) along with that get the benefit of a timer. To start with, we have to first install the add-on and then configure it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Go to \u2018Add-ons\u2019 through the \u2018\u1367\u2019 More option, <\/li><li>Then search for ExtendedForms and install the extension. <\/li><li>Once installed, you\u2019ll see a puzzle shape icon on the top bar of the page (if you can\u2019t see it, then refresh the page once). <\/li><li>Click on <strong>ExtendedForms<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Configure<\/strong> and a dialogue box will open on the right of the page.

To do so, head over to the app\u2019s dashboard or main page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the \u2018Responses\u201d option go to the ExtendedForms main settings page, click on the &#8216;Forms&#8217; tab at the left side, and head over to the form that you are working on to see all the responses and pending invitations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Now, navigate to this icon \u2018\u1367\u2019&nbsp;<\/li><li>Go to \u2018Form Settings\u2019, and enable the \u2018Hide Email-Id\u2019 option.&nbsp;It will be automatically on if you have kept the form sharing anonymous. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hide-email-anonymous-gform-1-1024x666.webp\" alt=\"hide-email-google-forms-anonymous\" class=\"wp-image-3845\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hide-email-anonymous-gform-1-1024x666.webp 1024w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hide-email-anonymous-gform-1-300x195.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hide-email-anonymous-gform-1-768x499.webp 768w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/hide-email-anonymous-gform-1.webp 1120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>No respondents will be able to see the email id when filling up the form.

You can also shorten the URL (however it comes under paid plans). To preview, just click on the \u2018eye\u2019 icon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides,&nbsp;the app can customize the invitation or welcome screen.

The reason behind how you can make anonymous forms is the ExtendedForms add-on. So, let\u2019s first talk about what is<a href=\"https:\/\/workspace.google.com\/marketplace\/app\/extended_forms_timer_for_google_forms\/763170157069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> ExtendedForms <\/a>and then move further into the 3-step guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/why-extendedforms-must-have-google-forms-addon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ExtendedForms<\/a> add-on is the timer extension that you can use to create a Google timed test. The app can be installed just like any other Google app through Google Workspace Marketplace. It is a great timer app with no extra fuss to configure, you just install, configure, and set up the basic settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, the app has extra cool features like \u2013 Classroom Integration, Email Customization, and Image Cropping (a feature where you can crop user, team profile images, and brand logos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another is the \u2018Manager team role\u2019 (part of the Teams feature), in which you get the option of adding a manager as a team role. ExtendedForms is a must-try because of its easy Google Forms timer function. Apart from this, it has the feature of exporting CSV files and customizing welcome and invitation messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-6a2762abd40ba wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/u.expresstech.io\/ef-homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ExtendedForms<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"fa-qs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1691048865578\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can a Google Form be anonymous?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The responses in Google Forms can be made anonymous in certain ways, but Google Forms in itself is not anonymous.
