Multi-page forms now support a configurable Progress Bar at the top. Service desk intake forms, GRC attestation flows, and any structured multi-page submission can show users where they are in the form, complete with one-click backward navigation to any previous page.
Key highlights
- New Progress Bar Option: Toggle a Progress Bar on any form with two or more pages from the Style Tab.
- Two Visual Styles: Choose Dot or Numbers to match the form's design language.
- Page Name Display: Optionally show the name of each page next to its progress indicator, or hide names for a cleaner look.
- Backward Navigation: Completed pages are clickable, so submitters can jump back to fix an earlier answer without losing form state.
- Safe Default Behavior: The feature is off by default, requires at least two pages to enable, and auto-disables if page count drops below two.
How it works
- Open the Style Tab on a multi-page form and find the Progress Bar section near the bottom of the panel.
- Toggle the Progress Bar on (only available when the form has two or more pages, not counting the Submission step).
- Pick a Style (Dot or Numbers) and decide whether to Show or Hide page names alongside the indicator.
- Submitters see the bar at the top of each page, with their current page highlighted, completed pages shown as clickable history, and upcoming pages shown but not yet navigable.
- If a builder removes a Page Break and the form drops to a single page, the Progress Bar disables automatically and no half-configured bar appears on the live form.
Pair this with Multi-Page Forms (released last week) to give long forms the pacing cues submitters need to push through.
