Microsoft Forms introduces a responder progress bar

Microsoft Forms will now show responders a progress bar on multi-page (multi-section) forms and quizzes if the forms owner enables the feature.

This feature is associated with Roadmap ID 67120.

When this will happen
Rollout will begin mid-September and is expected to be complete by the end of September 2020.

 

How this will affect your organization

 

The progress bar improves usability by providing responders with a visual indicator of their status within the survey, e.g. “Page 1 of 3”.
