Learn how to add ranking questions in Google Forms. Ranking questions allow respondents to rank options in order of preference or importance. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Open Google Forms and create a new form or open an existing one.
2. Add a title and description at the top.
3. In the question field, add your ranking question.
4. Click on the dropdown menu in the upper right of the question box and select “Multiple choice grid” to add the options for ranking.
5. Set up the form by clicking on the toggle button next to “Limit to one response per column” to ensure respondents rank each option.
6. Click the icon next to the toggle button and select “Limit to one response per column” to prevent respondents from giving the same ranking to multiple options.
7. Customize the survey’s appearance using the theme editor menu.
