3 Ways to Open a Closed Google Form (Update 2022)

In the Google Form system, there are two parties who have important roles. The first is the admin aka the creator of the form itself . The second is the participant or party who fills out the form.

The admin or the party who created the form has control over the form. That is, they can control how the form is made, including in terms of material and time of circulation.

When creating a Google Form, usually the admin will set the time so that it can only be filled in a limited time. Usually this is done by teachers, lecturers, or other teachers to facilitate the collection of assignments or attendance in learning activities.

Well, this is what makes a few students try to find out how to open a closed Google Form. This is because those who are late in filling out will usually be considered absent or get a minus score.

Back to the main question: can we as Google Form fillers reopen a closed form?

Unfortunately, the answer to the question above is no . You as a participant will not be able to reopen a closed Google Form or change its contents without the permission of the admin .

The good news is, you as the admin or creator of the Google Form can still open it even though it's closed, really! Here, ApkVenue shares some tips if you want to open a closed Google Form as an admin.

1. How to Open a Closed Google Form as Admin

As explained above, those of you who create Google Forms aka admins have authority over the forms that you create and share with other people. Such authority includes control over opening or modifying the content of the form.

To be able to open it again after closing, you need to follow a few steps that are fairly easy and fast. You can also do it yourself without having to ask Google for help. Please see the steps below:

1. Go to the Google Forms site ( https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/?tgif=d ).
2. Login to your Google account.
3. Select the Responses menu .
4. Change the "Not Accepting Responses" option to "Accepting Responses" .
5. Go to the Preview section at the top right to reopen the form.
6. Finished.

8. It should be noted, this method can only be used if you are an admin or creator of the form. If you're only acting as a participant, the only way to unlock it is to contact and ask admin permission.

   2. Using Fake Account (Twice Charge)

   This method is usually used to open a Google Form that is used for quizzes or questionnaires. You must have felt wrong to fill in the data after submitting and closing the Google Form.

   That's why, it was really annoying to want to reopen the form to change the answer. However, again you must remember that you cannot open and modify the data, unless you are the admin or creator of the form.

   Investigate, it turns out that there is a way to reopen the form by filling it out twice. In this way, you will use a fake Google account to replace the main account. Check out the guide below!

   2. Log out of your Google account/main email.
   3. Login to the alternate account you want to use.
   4. Open Google Forms with the alternate account.
