A short walkthrough will be embedded here. For now, follow the steps below.

1

Install Form Bridge from Google Workspace Marketplace

Visit the Google Workspace Marketplace and search for "Form Bridge" by CapraFlow. Click Install.

You'll be asked to grant two permissions: read/write access to your current spreadsheet, and read/write access to your Google Form's structure. Form Bridge does not access your responses or other files.

2

Open the Google Sheet linked to your form

Form Bridge works from the Google Sheet that is linked to your form as its response destination.

How to link a form to a sheet (if not already linked):
In Google Forms, go to Responses tab → click the green Sheets icon → choose "Create a new spreadsheet" or select an existing one. This creates the link Form Bridge uses.

3

Open Form Bridge from the menu bar

In your Google Sheet, look for the Form Bridge menu in the menu bar (between Help and any other custom menus). If you don't see it, refresh the page after installing.

4

Run Set Up Sheet

In the menu bar, go to Form Bridge → Set Up Sheet. Form Bridge reads your entire form and creates a sheet called "Form Questions": one row per question, all properties filled in.

What you'll see: Each row contains the question title, type, answer choices (pipe-separated), required flag, conditional logic, help text, and a Question ID used for tracking. The Status column starts blank.

5

Edit your questions in the sheet

Now edit anything in the "Form Questions" sheet:

  • Rename questions: just type in the Title column
  • Update answer choices: edit the Choices column (pipe-separated: Option A | Option B | Option C)
  • Reorder questions: cut and paste rows to a new position
  • Bulk find & replace: Ctrl+H across the entire sheet
  • Toggle required: change Yes to No (or No to Yes) in the Required column
The Question ID and Status columns are managed by Form Bridge. Don't edit them manually.
6

Check for Errors

Before pushing, go to Form Bridge → Check for Errors in the menu bar. Form Bridge checks your edits for errors (unknown question types, malformed conditional logic, missing required fields) and reports any problems.

Fix any flagged rows before continuing. If Check for Errors passes, you're ready to push.

Pro

Push to Form

Go to Form Bridge → Push to Form (Pro) in the menu bar. Form Bridge pushes all your edits to Google Forms, adding new questions, updating changed ones, deleting removed ones, and reordering, all in a few seconds.

This step requires a Pro subscription. See pricing →

🎉 That's it. Your Google Form now reflects everything you edited in the sheet.
