Try to fill in your created form by getting the link. Click on the ‘Share’ button on the top right menu. Copy and paste the link into another browser and then answer your form. -
Step 5: Sync to MS Excel
Return to the browser tab where you created the form, and you should receive a new answer. Open up the ‘Response’ tab and there you will see a summary of your sample answer. Locate the ‘Open in Excel’ button and click on it. A Microsoft Excel containing the answers will then open up.
