# Getting started with Yandex Forms

Get started with Yandex Forms by creating a simple form:

1. [Add questions to your form to collect users' answers](#create-form).

1. [Publish your form and ask users to fill it out](#publish).

1. [Get a table with user answers](#get-answers).

1. [Set up access to the form](#access).

## Step 1. Create a form {#create-form}

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/forms-versions.md -->
   Open the desired version of Yandex Forms: in the upper-left corner of the page, select Personal forms or Forms for business. To learn more about their differences, see [Personal forms and forms for business](https://yandex.ru/support/forms/en/go-to-forms.md).
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/forms-versions.md -->

1. On the top panel, click **Create form**.

1. Under **Select a question**, click **Show all questions** and arrange the questions in the following order:

    No. | Blocks | Settings
    ----- | ----- | -----
    1 | ![](_assets/text-block.png){.border-grey} {.cell-align-center} | Enter text:<br/>`Please fill out this sample form.`<br/>Add a comment:<br/>` Required fields are marked with an asterisk.`
    2 | ![](_assets/short-text-block.png){.border-grey} {.cell-align-center} | Enter a question:<br/>` Last name:`<br/>Select **Required** at the top of the question block.
    3 | ![](_assets/single-option-block.png){.border-grey} {.cell-align-center} | Enter a question:<br/>`Gender:`<br/>Add answers:<ul><li>`Male`<li>`Female`<ul/>
    4 | ![](_assets/drop-down-list-block.png){.border-grey} {.cell-align-center} | Enter a question:<br/>`Marital status:`<br/>Add answers:<ul><li>`Single`<li>`Married`<ul/>
    5 | ![](_assets/short-text-block.png){.border-grey} {.cell-align-center} | Enter a question:<br/>`Maiden name:`

1. Set the conditions for showing the <q>Maiden name</q> question:

    1. Under <q>Maiden name</q>, click ![](_assets/svg/condition.svg)</svg>.

    1. Add two conditions and fill in the fields as shown in the example:

        ![](_assets/block-conditions-settings.png){.border-grey}

    Now this question appears in the form only if the user previously selected the female gender and the `Married` status.


## Step 2. Publish the form {#publish}

To allow users to fill out the form, you need to publish it:

1. Click **Publish**.

1. To copy link to form in the **Link** field click ![](_assets/svg/copy.svg)</svg>.

1. Paste the link in your browser address bar and open it. If you did everything right, the new form opens:

    ![](_assets/form-example.png =600x){.border-grey}

1. Send users a link to the form.


## Step 3. Get the answers to questions {#get-answers}

To get a table with user answers to form questions:

1. Go to the **Answers** tab.

1. Above the question list, select the ![](_assets/svg/feed.svg) **Feed** view mode.

1. Specify the period for which to export answers:

    * Click **All time** ![](_assets/svg/calendar.svg)</svg>.
    * In the pop-up window, go to the **Other** tab.
    * Select **This month**.

1. Specify the questions for which to export answers:

    * Above the question list, click **All questions**.
    * Keep only the **Last name** and **Gender** options selected.

1. Specify the output file format:

    * Click **XLSX** ![](_assets/svg/unwrap.svg)</svg>.
    * In the pop-up window, select **CSV**.

1. To the right of the format selection button, click ![](_assets/svg/download.svg)</svg> **Download**.


## Step 4. Set up access to the form {#access}

By default, only the author can edit a form. If you are using Forms for business, you can give your colleagues access to edit the form or groups of forms: [Configuring access to a form](https://yandex.ru/support/forms/en/access.md).
