SANFRANCISCO: Google has announced that it is adding flexibility to email collection in Google Forms. "Previously, when creating or modifying a Google Form and editing the 'Responses' section, form creators only had the option to toggle the 'Collect email addresses' option on or off," the tech giant said in a Workspace Updates blogpost. "If enabled, this meant when users filled out the form, their email was automatically collected with their form submission."

Now, to add flexibility, the company has introduced the ability to choose between these email collection options -- Verified email collection (previously known as automatic email collection), Responder input (previously known as manual email collection) and Do not collect.
