{% hint style="info" %}
The **Add New Program** page and the **Edit Program** page are basically identical.
{% endhint %}

## General information

This section includes some basic details of the program: **Name**, **Active switch**, and **Description**.

### Active status

The switch shows the program's status. You can activate/deactivate the program by switching it on/off. The Active switches also appear on the Program list.

If a program is inactive:

* Its registration form will be unavailable so no one can sign up and join it.&#x20;
* Its registration form link will redirect people to the default program's registration form link.
* The existing affiliates in that program can still work and earn commissions normally, meaning the referral orders brought by them will still be tracked.
* The feature [**Auto-discounts for customers**](/management/programs/auto-discounts-with-affiliate-link.md) will no longer work for the links of affiliates in it.

### Description

The **description** will be displayed on the [registration form](/management/affiliate-registration-form/form-editor.md) and on the affiliate's end ([affiliate admin](/guide-for-affiliate/affiliate-admin.md)). It's highly recommended to put as many details about your program as possible there.
