If you often work with Google Forms, you might have realized you sometimes need to make a form mostly based on one you already have complete with you. Have you ever spent hours creating a new form when you already have most of it ready? Then you know how time-consuming and downright tiresome it can be. Fortunately, Forms has a feature that lets you make a copy of a form and make desired changes to your duplicate form. If you aren’t sure how to use this feature, don’t worry—in this wikiHow, we’ll cover the specifics of duplicating a Google Form.
