FormRecycler Extension

Assists FormRecycler and FormCreator Google Add-ons, bit.ly/FormRecyclerAdd-on and bit.ly/FormCreator, to recycle the images that are embedded in their questions that were just recycled.
*Currently you cannot recycle embedded image items from Forms locked to Domain only.*
To work around this, toggle off the Domain only. Then recycle the questions with FormRecycler Add-on. After recycling, toggle the Domain only back on for the Form you are recycling for (if you wish).

Steps for success:
1. Install this Chrome Extension
2. Sign-in with Google
3. Refresh the Form.
4a. Use FormRecycler Add-on to recycle questions.
4b. Use FormCreator to create a Form/Quiz with images in a question.
5. FormRecycler Add-on will tell the FormRecycler Chrome Extension when it is finished and will enable you to Insert Images in your Form.
6. Click the Insert Images in this Form button in the Chrome Extension.
7. The Chrome Extension will continue to insert images until it is done.

V4.0.1 update: Fixed issues after the change in the underlying structure of Google Forms.

V2.1 update: Now will recycle embedded images on Forms that are in Spanish language.

Kevin Moore (ID: 00000052e079cdf6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/05/2023 This extension is no longer useful - it's an ADD ON to the formRecycler extension, which has been discontinued and is no longer available. The reason it was discontinued is that Google added the "Import Questions" feature that does the same thing - it allows you to import questions from other forms. Here's how it works: https://support.google.com/docs/thread/5399199/copying-questions-from-one-form-to-a-new-form?hl=en

Girl Scout Troop 2125 (ID: 000000734c24caf2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/22/2022 Doesn't work because you must have the Form recycler add-on too! But it is no longer available in the google marketplace.

Samantha Pelletier (ID: 000000e0dcbba62f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/10/2020 I very simple extension that has been incredibly valuable to me as a teacher. I like to recycle quiz questions into unit tests and this app saves me a LOT of copy and pasting. Similarly with making comprehensive finals. A real time saver.
