Show respondents how far along they are in a One Per Page form with a progress bar. Progress bars are only available in One Per Page layouts; Standard forms don't show one.
Enabling
Open Form settings (gear icon in the builder toolbar) and toggle "Show progress bar".
Picking a style
Two styles are built in:
- Line — a thin horizontal bar that fills smoothly as the respondent advances. Best for clean, modern forms where you don't want to call attention to length.
- Bubble — a row of step dots, one per page, that fill in as each page is completed. Best for shorter forms (5–10 pages) where the discrete count is reassuring.
Customising colours
Two colour pickers control the bar:
- Active colour — the filled part of the bar (Line) or completed dots (Bubble).
- Background / inactive colour — the unfilled track or pending dots.
Both default to your form's accent colour. Override them for high-contrast looks (e.g., bright accent on a dark track).
What counts as progress
Progress is measured by the index of the page the respondent is on, not the number of answered questions. So on a 5-page form, page 1 = 20%, page 3 = 60%, etc. Empty pages are skipped from the count.
Tips
- Pair a Bubble progress bar with short page titles for a stepper effect.
- For very long surveys, the Line style is less anxiety-inducing than Bubble.
- Hide the progress bar entirely on forms with sensitive intermediate steps (e.g., consent forms) where showing "step 1 of 12" might cause drop-off.
