How to Copy a Google Forms Quiz

Copying a Google Forms quiz can offer several benefits. Here are some of the main advantages:

Template Usage: If you’ve created a comprehensive Google Forms quiz that took a lot of time to design, you can copy it and use it as a template for other forms. This can save a lot of time and ensure consistency across multiple forms.

Different Versions: If you need to create multiple versions of a quiz, for example, for different classes, groups, or events, copying the form allows you to maintain the basic structure and only change the specifics.

Backup: Creating a copy serves as a backup. If the original form gets accidentally deleted or altered in a way that’s not easily reversible, having a copy ensures you don’t lose your work.

Testing and Experimentation: If you want to test out different questions, design elements, or settings without modifying the original quiz, a copy provides a sandbox environment for experimentation.

Sharing with Colleagues: If you’ve created an online quiz that’s useful for your team or colleagues, you can make a copy to share with them, allowing them to modify their version without affecting your original.

Historical Record: If you need to keep a historical record of forms as they were at specific points in time (for example, yearly surveys), copying and archiving them ensures you have a snapshot of each version.
