+I don't add much here to what is in the video but I decided to add this article for ease of future reference and to provide a provide concise way to follow the steps without needing to re-watch the video.
+
+1. In the three dot menu in the top right select `Pre-fill form`
+2. Fill in unique "search keys" to be replaced then click `Get link` then click the `COPY LINK` button that appears at the bottom.
+3. Pick a cell in your Google Sheet to store the template link and paste there
+4. Use nested calls to the [`SUBSTITUTE`](https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3094215) function to replace each "search key" from above
