The Progress Bar provides information for the learner on the proportion of pages in the project that have been opened. This is particularly helpful for those who are working through a learning object over multiple sessions. New in 3.14, you can also add progress markers for Chapters and for Milestones (individual pages the author has flagged up as significant points in progress through the learning object.

This is a screenshot illustrating how the Progress Bar displays. Here it has been set to display below the Project and Page Titles in the Header Bar. This project has been organised in three Chapters, and if the learner clicks on one of the circle markers in the Progress Bar, this will take them to the first page in that Chapter. The red line gives a visual indication of how much of the Learning Object the learner has looked at, and a more precise indication is given, as percentage of pages opened, in the text to the left of the Progress Bar; the text around the percentage can be customised by the author.

If you add this property to your project, you will be presented with the following dialog.

You may modify any of the fields or selections within this dialog to customize the accessibility settings for your project, including the following.

Property	Sub-property	Description	Type	Additional information
Position New in 3.14		{Header bar (above titles) / Header bar (between titles) / Header bar (below titles) / Footer bar (between titles) }	Drop-down	Before 3.14, the Progress Bar could only be added in the footer.
Include Percentage		If this box is unticked the percentage of pages/chapters/milestones opened is not displayed, so there is only a graphic indication of progress.	Tick box
Percentage Text		You can edit the text that displays with the percentage of pages/chapters/milestones opened, e.g. 'You have completed {x}% of the pages in this lesson.'	Tick box	Default - {x}% complete
Progress Markers	Type	{None / Pages / Chapters / Milestones }	Drop-down	You need to have already created Chapters or Milestones in your project to use these options instead of Pages. Chapters are created from the Insert page drop-down menu; Milestones are added as a General Optional Property at page-level.
	Space Evenly	Spaces the circular Progress Markers evenly.	Tick box	Only available in the Chapters or Milestones formats
	Navigate on Click	When enabled, the Progress Marker becomes a clickable link to a Page, Chapter or Milestone.	Tick box	Only available in the Pages, Chapters or Milestones formats

This is an example of what the Project Tree looks like after adding Chapters and Milestones. The Milestones are indicated by the purple pins.

You can only have Chapters or Milestones displaying in the Progress Bar. This is just an example which illustrates both formats in one image.
