Use Templates and Forms
Step 5
❱ Each template will
have a thumbnail
image preview. If you
want to see more detail
of how the document
is laid out, click the
Preview button. You
can then click Close
this window or Use
this template.
Step 1
❱ Open Google Drive
and click on the NEW
button. Click on Doc,
Sheet, Presentation
or Form. Once
your chosen blank
document is open, you
can begin to create
a template.
Step 2
❱ When creating
a template that is
going to be shared in
the template gallery,
avoid filling it with
specific text and
images. People using
the template later
will almost certainly
want to put their own
content into it.
Step 3
❱ When your template
is finished, save it
and return to the
main Google Drive
screen. Select the
template file in the
list of documents
using the Share link.
Add contacts or get
a shareable link to
email to them.
Create and Share
Templates
You can create your own templates and either keep them
for your own use or share them with the Google Template
Gallery, so that others can use them.
Using Google Forms
Adding a further tool to the already impressive listing,
you can use the Google Forms app to create online
surveys and quizzes and then share them with your
family, friends or work colleagues.To start a new Google Form you will need to return to the
Google Drive home page and from there click the NEW
button and select Google Forms from the More option
on the drop-down menu. You will now need to give your
form a title and a description. Now you can start to build
your questions. Enter your first question and select from
the options given when clicking the answer options
menu on the right. You can choose from multiple choice
or text entry.To add another question tap the + icon on the right
side bar. Here you can also add images, videos or sub
category descriptions. You can literally be as in-depth or
simple as you wish. When you have finished your Google
Form, you can change the colour pattern, preview the
finished form or select the format, questionnaire or quiz
using the setting icons top right. Finally tap Send to enter
the details of who you want to share the form with. Click
send for a second time to complete the process.
To check the answers click on Responses at the top of the
text input box, here you can view all completed forms.
