How to Limit Responses on a Google Form

Google Forms are great for collecting survey and assessment data, but sometimes you may wish to turn them off when you have received a certain number of responses (e.g. if you are offering a PD class and only have room for 20 people, or you are organising a field trip and only have room for 40 students).

Step 6:  Set your limit and response message, then click Save and enable
