    After editing the spreadsheet (just changing the name for a column) it no longer updates with new submissions. Is there a way I can change column names/delete specific response data without it dying?

    We would like to apologize for any inconvenience. We do not encourage editing the Google Spreadsheet integrated with the form because it tends to break the integration. A workaround that you can do is to import the data from the original sheet into another sheet using IMPORTRANGE — https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093340?hl=

    Then, you can already alter the imported data in the new sheet.

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.
