# Add/edit programs To start promoting your affiliate campaign, you need to have at least 1 program. During the **Onboarding** process, you can set up a simple default program with the payment process.

After the Onboarding process, more rules can be set up. Simply go to the [**Programs** tab](https://docs.uppromote.com/management/programs), and you'll find the Program List. * To add a program, click **Add program**. * To edit an existing program, click on the program's name.

{% 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. * 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**](https://docs.uppromote.com/management/programs/auto-discounts-with-affiliate-link) will no longer work for the links of affiliates in it. ### Description The **description** will be displayed on the [registration form](https://docs.uppromote.com/management/affiliate-registration-form/form-editor) and on the affiliate's end ([affiliate admin](https://docs.uppromote.com/guide-for-affiliate/affiliate-admin)). It's highly recommended to put as many details about your program as possible there.
