Google Forms is a helpful tool that lets you create surveys with a great variety of customization options. In this guide we will see the most common ways to make and customize your own Google Form.

Start from a template

When you’re ready to create a new survey, you have the option to start from a blank document or start from one of the many templates already available.

These templates are divided into three categories: Personal, Work, and Education. There are ready to use and save you from having to design the form yourself – for example, for a Customer Feedback form or a Party invite.

In the image you can see examples of the templates available when creating from a model.

• if the questions are shuffled randomly.
