1. Guide to Setting Up Choice Eliminator for Google Forms™

Create or open a Google Forms™ where you want to add limits.
Install Choice Eliminator for Google Forms™.
Open the add-on.
The form choice limiter works with a special URL (https://form.everestwebdeals.co/?form=your_form_special_id), not the Google Form URL. You can copy the URL by clicking the “copy icon” or open the form in a new tab by clicking the “eye icon”.
The “Refresh” button refreshes the options’ response counts.
The “Save” button saves the add-on configuration and refreshes the response count.
Use the “Reset” button to reset all form responses. Be careful, as after resetting, all data will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
In the “Choice Limit” option, you can add choice limits. Leave the choice limit input empty for unlimited responses. If your choice reaches its limit, you can increase the value and then click the “Save” button to apply changes.
The “One-click apply limit for all choices” option allows you to fill out a limit and click “Apply”; afterward, all choices will have the same value. Don’t forget to click the “Save” button.
The checkbox “Notify me when choice limit is reached” sends an email when any choice reaches its limit. For multiple emails, separate them with commas.
The “Sign-in required” checkbox is for signing in before starting to submit the form. You will not have access to select any option if you are not signed in.
The “Show Limit/response count for choices” checkbox is a unique feature that shows the limit/response for each option in the form.
Use the “Close form when all choices limit is reached” checkbox to close the form if all choices reach their limit. If you have unlimited (empty) choices, the form will not close.
Use the “Custom Closed Form Message” checkbox to add a message after the form is closed.
The “Allow external sharing with only trusted domains” option is used to restrict form access by email or domain name. After selecting this feature, the responder must sign in to the form. If the user is not in the added domain or email, they will not get access to the form.
The “Share the form via QR code” option is used to generate a QR code. You can download, copy, or print the QR code.
The “Schedule reset form” option is used to reset all form response data. You can schedule a reset for a specific date.
