If something goes wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Many responses, few records. | Most feedback is opinion. Only what changed for someone is an outcome. That is expected. |
| Responses stop arriving. | The form or its spreadsheet was unshared or deleted. Share it again, or take it out with Change. |
| “This source needs you to sign in again.” | Reconnect with the same Google account. |
