Collect had a progress bar at one point and users are very keen to bring it back so that
data collectors understand how close they are to completion
for lengthy forms it provides a sense of progression
Solution
Reduce uncertainty for the data collectors by introducing a Linear progress-bar
The new M3 progress indicators have
New color mappings (so we will have to play around with this)
Higher contrast between track and active indicator to enhance the perception of progress
Rounded corners
End stop indicator to improve accessibility (which is a really nice addition)
New motion behavior
The indicator will jump around a bit depending on the form design (e.g. repeats or relevances), so in some cases it might not be a true representation of how much they have left.
One quick concept to take or leave is a progress circle with percentage in the middle displayed in the app bar. I know I've seen this before but can't think of where. Here is the basic idea.
We would have to bump one of the existing actions but that could be a good thing: we could solve our northeast arrow problem by moving that action to the overflow menu and describing it in words ("Jump to question", "Summary").
Sorry—I probably should have kept this in draft mode! I want to play around with a version with the percentage (for both linear and circle). I've seen the progress circle in buttons, but not in the app bar off the top of my head.

I really really like the idea of describing action in words that would be much more clear. It would mean one extra tap, but we should explore it.
