If you enable this option, your form respondents will be able to edit the responses they've submitted to your form. These edits will be reflected in your spreadsheet and in your summary of responses.Note: this feature is currently only available to Google Apps customers. We're working to have this available to all users.By making changes possible to a line in a spreadsheet Google has quietly introduced what I would call Web 3.0; a holy grail where any user can maintain his records in a databases by clicking simple links! No more training the user to navigate documents. Just provide links and they are brought their personal records automatically.
The possibilities are endless. First it removes the concept of FILES. A student can update their record with a simple click instead of finding a spreadsheet and then their record. No danger of updating someone else's data. I can't stop imagining applications for this groundbreaking technology, it touches every website on the planet. This overcomes a major programming problem in data maintenance.
For a teacher one might use this to request feedback from students, voting, maintain weekly student progress reports, keyboarding speeds, the results are always stored in a simple spreadsheet. Perfect!
Up until now this type of data structure and update has only been available to programmers willing to manage arcane languages on servers. (I remember writing these in ASP years ago, nasty).
