Question
Does a Google Form offer a draft or save feature, should I wish to pause what I'm doing and return at a later date?
Community Answer
When creating a Google Form, Google automatically saves any changes you make. When answering one, as long as you keep the tab open and don't turn off your device, it should still be there when you get back to it. If you don't want it cluttering your toolbar, drag it into a new window.
