Delete a question

Delete the attendance question labeled Present/Absent that is no longer needed. Remove it from the main quiz form and also remove any validation or branching rules that reference it. Confirm there are no orphaned branches and preview the form once the question is deleted before I publish the updated form for Monday.

Before deleting the Present/Absent attendance question, check what depends on it: branch rules, summary calculations, or linked sheets. If anything references it, flag those dependencies and suggest an alternative or update. If safe, delete it and confirm the form layout remains logical and no required follow-ups were removed.

I removed the attendance question and now some follow-up questions vanished from the student view. I don’t know which branch used that question. How do I find what branches referenced Present/Absent and restore any essential follow-ups without rebuilding the entire form?

Over the year we keep removing outdated questions and each time a hidden dependency breaks later questions or reports. What systematic habit or small documentation practice will stop accidental breaks when deleting questions? Give one immediate checklist item and one naming or linking convention to adopt.
