How to See if You Submitted a Google Form

Google Forms is a popular tool that allows users to create online surveys and questionnaires. Once you have filled out a Google Form, you may wonder if your submission was successfully received by the form creator. Luckily, Google Forms provides a simple way to check if your response was submitted. In this article, we will guide you through the process of verifying your submission and answer some common questions related to Google Forms.

Checking your Google Form submission:

1. After submitting a Google Form, you will usually see a confirmation message on your screen indicating that your response has been recorded. This message may vary depending on the form creator’s settings.

2. Additionally, Google Forms automatically sends a confirmation email to the email address you provided in the form. The email contains a summary of your responses and serves as proof of submission.

3. To access your confirmation email, open your email client and navigate to the inbox associated with the email address you provided in the form. Look for an email from “Google Forms” or the form creator’s email address.

4. If you cannot find the confirmation email, check your spam or junk folder as it may have been filtered there. Mark the email as “Not spam” to ensure future emails from Google Forms are delivered to your inbox.

5. In case you accidentally closed the confirmation message on your screen, you can still access it by reopening the Google Form link and submitting the form again. This time, you will see a message indicating that you have already submitted the form.
