As a final touch, you should decide how to label each milestone — by numbers, percentages, or titles. Titles add to scannability, helping users understand what they are expected to do here. Numbers and percentages motivate users to keep going, informing them about their current status and how many steps are to follow.

Depending on the complexity of your form, decide which progress tracker better fits your needs. More complex forms may benefit from being tracked with percentages — the progress indicator will move as users complete each section or subsection.
