Step-by-Step Guide: How to Create a Link to Your Google Form

1. Open Your Google Form

First, navigate to Google Forms and open the form you want to share. If you haven’t created one yet, start a new form by selecting a blank template or choosing from Google’s pre-designed templates.

2. Click on the “Send” Button

At the top-right corner of the form editor, you’ll find the blue Send button. Click it to open the sharing options.

3. Select the Link Icon

In the Send form window, click the link icon (a chain link symbol). This will generate a URL that you can share with others.

4. Shorten the URL (Optional)

Google Forms provides an option to shorten the URL for easier sharing. Check the "Shorten URL" box if you prefer a cleaner, shorter link.

5. Copy the Link

Click the Copy button to copy the link to your clipboard. You can now paste this link anywhere: emails, social media, websites, or even inside Google Docs!

6. Share Your Link

Distribute the copied link to your audience via your preferred channels. Respondents will be able to click the link and fill out the form easily on any device.
