Show or hide the activity progress bar

The progress bar shows participants how much of the activity they have completed and how much further they have to go.

Once enabled, the progress bar is displayed at the top of all activity screens. The progress bar advances after participants proceed through a screen or provide a response.

Activity progress is not measured in a linear way, and it varies depending on the participant. Differences in respondent journeys mean some participants have more screens to proceed through than others. Each participant sees a progress bar that represents their unique respondent journey.

If Share Back Results is selected, the activity progress bar will also appear on the shareback screen, and it will update to display the participant's progress as of the question they just answered.

1. On the Activity Builder toolbar, click Activity settings.

   When selected, a progress bar appears at the top of the screen in the preview pane. The progress bar is static and always displays 50% complete while you are building and previewing the activity. However, it will update in a live distribution.
3. Optional: Change the color of the progress bar.
   Tip: Select a color that provides a high contrast against the background image or color.
   1. In the preview pane, click the progress bar.
