How to Edit Google Form Responses in Sheets
Once a user submits the form, the form’s creator can change his or her response in the spreadsheet.
Step 1: Open the Google Sheet, go to the Responses tab at the top, and click on it.
Here, you will see a summary and individual responses. If you go to the Individual section, you will find responses, but you cannot edit them.
Step 2: Click on the Google Sheets icon at the top. Then, double-click on any value in the Google Sheet to edit it.
Any changes you make to the spreadsheet’s values will not reflect under individual responses in your Google Form. That’s a great feature to check the actual answer of the user. Of course, you can also see the edit history in Google Sheets. For that, right-click on the cell and choose Show Edit history.
How to Let Users Edit Form Responses After Submission

Right-click on the cell and choose View Edit history to see the changes.
It’s okay to make mistakes; however, at times, you need to be careful. For instance, if the form owner doesn’t allow editing of responses, you are stuck with your submitted answers. Be careful while submitting answers in Google Forms.
