When you create the document template, you can add markers for some or all of the questions in your form. A marker is made of the question title and opening and closing angle brackets. For example, to add a marker for the question Full name, you add the marker <<Full name>> in the document template. During the document generation of form submission, the <<Full name>> marker is replaced with the full name submitted by the form respondent.

With this example, we demonstrate how to add a question in an existing Google form and how to update a Google Docs template to include the marker for the question.

Prerequisites

Open an existing Google form that was previously configured with Form Publisher.

Procedure

1. Open your Google Form.
2. Add a new form question.
   For example, What is your name?.
   
3. Open Form Publisher and select Launch Form Publisher.
   
   The Template and markers menu opens.
4. Click Edit.
   
   The Google Docs template opens.
5. Add the marker <<What is your name?>>.
   
   
   warning Your marker must match exactly your question title, respecting upper and lower case letters.
6. Click Refresh.
   
   Form Publisher checks if the markers match your question titles.
7. (Optional) Click question markers.
   

Result

Every time a new response is submitted, the marker is replaced with the answers in the generated template.
