      Dear Scott, thank you for the great work! Can you please advise on the following : I created a questionnaire and for one question I have chosen the multiple choice option. However, I wanted the participants to be able to choose more than one answer, if they wished to. How do I do that?

    Great video and presented very well. I still have a few questions. I'm high school teacher and I use google classroom. We had some people from google come out to teach us but the lessons were to quick and didn't cover to many fine details. I so not understand why google, with all of their millions of employees can not make tutorials for their own products. I just don't get it.
    - How come when I remove an item in docs or forms it always seems to come back?
    - Can I share or copy and paste forms and docs between different accounts without one being effected when the other is edited?
    - Why does google delete my older classrooms when I'm still trying to use them? How can I prevent this?
    - How come there is no way to contact anyone at google for help?
    -How do I fix issue with google classroom grades....
    It's like I love this and I hate it at the same time.

    I created a form to track my expenses. It has a date, were spent, amount, category to charge-to, etc. I then can take a picture of the receipt and it all gets logged into Sheets which I use for assisting in the preparation of my taxes or see my spending habits. I can also import PDF receipts if I but something on-line.
    Microsoft has a Form function in Ofice 365, you should compare the two products.
