How to Create Google Form without Any Question

Google Forms is a versatile tool for making, conducting and analyzing surveys, questionnaires and forms. It consists of questions for the respondents to fill as per their desires. This way, useful information is gathered. But what if we want to create a completely empty form having no questions to fill at all? It is possible using Google Forms.

In this article, we will see what happens when you create a Google Form without any questions in it and what is its use.

Why do we create a completely empty Google Form?

Google Forms is used worldwide for multiple scenarios and purposes. We might be in need of a form where we are not asking questions but only doing an announcement or taking subscriptions.

For example, there may be an online competition conducting authority taking subscriptions for their latest competition news through Google Forms. Or we might be making sure that an announcement has reached all the required individuals by publishing through a Google Form and taking their emails as a confirmation. There can be many other scenarios where this might be useful.

In this article, we will see how we can create a Google Form without any questions in it.

How to create Google Form without any question in it?

Let us use a simple scenario for making a form for getting a subscription of an online competition conducting authority. This form will have a set of instructions for the subscription and will not have any questions. Only the logged-in email will be recorded for the purpose of subscription. Let’s go ahead and create a Google Form and demonstrate the above using it.
