This article will explain how to define the title for each file created, and retrieve easily where these files will be saved.
Once all your markers are valid, Form Publisher will ask you to choose where you want to save your files.
Open your current output folder
If you want to open your output folder from your Google Drive, simply click ‘Open’:
Change your output folder
If you want to change your output folder in the Google Picker, click ‘Change destination folder’:
Choose a name for your files
Every time a new file is created, Form publisher will name your files depending on your configuration. You can use markers and simple text in the file title.
Use standard markers
As explained in the previous article [Step 4] Configure and personalize your template with markers, Form Publisher creates 4 standard markers from a pre-formatted template which will be displayed in your template.
In your ‘Destination folder and naming convention’ sidebar you will also see standard markers. The only difference is that these following standard markers will be displayed in your generated file titles:
- <<Today>>
- <<Timestamp>>
- <<Template Title>>
- <<Now>>
- <<Increment>>
Click ‘Use standard markers’:


By default, Form Publisher selects the following markers: <<Template Title>> and <<Increment>>
Configure your responses spreadsheet
Form Publisher will ask you to choose if you want to display a file URL in your responses spreadsheet as well as the increment number:
By default, these options are not selected.
Save a PDF copy in Drive
Then, Form Publisher can keep a PDF copy in Drive. This copy will be saved in the output folder you previously chose. By default, this option is not selected:

I am having trouble changing the file title. I have changed it to Today's Date and Student Name, however, the name is blank now. I have tried multiple times to save. Today's Date and Student Name are fields in the Form. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Hello,
In spreadhsheet option, the generated PDF or a google sheet file is also sending or generting the response sheet to the recipient.
Now there are three pages instead of one.
Need to restrict to only first sheet and not other sheets within a spreadsheet.
Please assist
Hi,
If you want to restrict the page that will be exported in pdf, you can just hide the sheet that you don't want to print.
Is it possible to have all submitted forms go to one slide presentation? I need teachers to fill out the document and end up with one slide presentations with all the slides.
