Auto-save your response progress on a Google Form

When you fill in a Google Form in your Google Account, your progress is saved automatically as a draft for 30 days. This means if you can't complete a form or need to switch devices, you don’t have to start from scratch the next time you open the form.

Important: If you’re offline, auto-save doesn’t work.

When you save a draft, Draft saved  appears at the top of the form.

If you sign in to a Google Account and Saving disabled  is at the top of the form, the creator may have disabled draft response auto-saving on their form. If you want to turn on autosaving, contact the form owner.

Factors that may affect saved responses:

• If you lose access to a form, you also lose access to your draft.
• If the form owner:
  • Deletes a question, your answer to that question is deleted.
  • Makes a change to a question option you’ve selected, it's no longer selected in your draft.
  • Makes changes to branching logic in a form, you may lose access to certain pages of a form.

Tips

• If the form owner changes the question stem or other answer options, your answer won’t be affected.
