FormRecycler

FormRecycler recycles Google Form questions from previously created Forms
What is FormRecycler?
FormRecycler is a Chrome extension designed to simplify the process of reusing questions from previously created Google Forms. It works in conjunction with the FormRecycler and FormCreator Google Add-ons, enabling users to easily recycle questions, including those with embedded images. This tool is particularly useful for domain locked forms. However, to recycle embedded image items from these forms, users need to temporarily toggle off the domain lock. FormRecycler provides a streamlined workflow: install the extension, sign in with Google, refresh the form, and let the extension do the rest. It supports multiple languages including Spanish.

Extension summary

Assists FormRecycler and FormCreator Google Add-ons, bit.ly/FormRecyclerAdd-on and bit.ly/FormCreator, to recycle the images that are embedded in their questions that were just recycled. Currently you cannot recycle embedded image items from Forms locked to Domain only. To work around this, toggle off the Domain only. Then recycle the questions with FormRecycler Add-on. After recycling, toggle the Domain only back on for the Form you are recycling for (if you wish).

Steps for success:

  1. Install this Chrome Extension
  2. Sign-in with Google
  3. Refresh the Form. 4a. Use FormRecycler Add-on to recycle questions. 4b. Use FormCreator to create a Form/Quiz with images in a question.
  4. FormRecycler Add-on will tell the FormRecycler Chrome Extension when it is finished and will enable you to Insert Images in your Form.
  5. Click the Insert Images in this Form button in the Chrome Extension.
  6. The Chrome Extension will continue to insert images until it is done.

V4.0.1 update: Fixed issues after the change in the underlying structure of Google Forms.

This extension is no longer useful - it's an ADD ON to the formRecycler extension, which has been discontinued and is no longer available. The reason it was discontinued is that Google added the "Import Questions" feature that does the same thing - it allows you to import questions from other forms. Here's how it works: https://support.google.com/docs/thread/5399199/copying-questions-from-one-form-to-a-new-form?hl=en
