Last updated 7/25/2025

Last updated on 01 Sept, 2025

The progress bar on mobile screens ensures that participants can easily track their position within a survey or quiz—no matter the number of steps involved. By reducing uncertainty and offering immediate feedback, the progress bar helps maintain user engagement and improves overall completion rates.

Key Benefits

  • Greater Clarity: Helps users understand how much of the form is left, minimizing drop-off.

  • Higher Completion Rates: Progress visibility improves motivation, especially on longer or multi-step forms.

  • Professional Aesthetic: Customizable options ensure the progress bar complements your overall design and branding.

How to Enable and Customize the Mobile Progress Bar

Open Any Survey or Quiz 

Start by accessing the specific survey or quiz you’d like to enhance from the relevant builder.

Navigate to Styles > Footer

Once inside the form editor, go to the Styles tab in the top navigation. From there, select the Footer section. This is where layout and visual elements related to the form’s footer—such as navigation buttons and visual indicators—are managed.

Customize the Progress Bar Appearance

After enabling the bar, a set of customization options will appear, allowing you to match the progress bar with your brand identity or form aesthetics. You can fine-tune the following elements:

  • Step Label Text Style: Modify the color of the step indicator text (if shown) to ensure readability and consistency with your brand’s typography.

  • Fill Color: Choose the color that represents completed steps. This helps users instantly recognize how far they’ve progressed.

  • Inactive Color: Select a shade for steps yet to be completed. Using a neutral or low-saturation tone helps maintain focus on the active section.
