# How do I link an existing program to a season?

> Put a program you already built into a season from the season page, from the program itself, or with bulk edit, and take it back out.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **One season per program.** Adding a program to another season moves it there.
  * **From the season or the program.** Use **Add Program** on the season's **Programs** tab, or pick a **Season** on the program's **Configure** > **General** tab (**None** takes it out).
  * **Active seasons only.** A program's **Season** list shows only Active seasons. A new season starts as Draft, so make it Active before you pick it there.
  * **Uplifter turns Seasons on.** Until it does, the **Seasons** page and the **Season** field don't appear.
</Note>

**Before you start.** You need the **Edit Training** permission. Linking never changes when the program runs, or anything about the season.

<Steps>
  <Step title="From the season">
    Go to **Settings > Registration > Seasons**, click the season, and on its **Programs** tab click **Add Program**. Search, pick one or more programs, and click **Add Program** or **Add \[N] Programs**. A program in another season shows **Currently in \[season] - this will move it**. Adding just that one shows **Program moved from \[season] to this season**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="From the program">
    On **Registrations > Programs**, open the program's row menu and choose **Configure**. On the **General** tab, pick a **Season** (or **None**) and click **Save Changes**. **Edit step-by-step** has the same field on its **General** step. A season that is no longer Active stays selected, with a status badge.
  </Step>

  <Step title="For several programs at once">
    On **Registrations > Programs**, click **Select**, tick the programs, and click **Bulk Edit**. Choose **Season**, pick a season or **No season**, click **Continue**, tick the confirmation box, and click **Apply to \[N] programs**. Here the list includes every season, whatever its status, and nothing checks the program's dates.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**When the dates or the season don't fit.** Only the season's **Programs** tab checks. A program dated completely outside the season is held on a **Check this first** step: "\[program] runs \[dates], which is outside \[season] (\[dates]). Link it anyway, or change its dates first." A Closed, Expired or Archived season is held the same way. Click **Link anyway** or **Leave them out**. The **Programs** tab refuses every program for a Cancelled season, with no override.

**Taking a program out.** On the season's **Programs** tab, click the **X** (**Remove from season**) on its row (message: **Item removed from season**), or set the program's **Season** to **None**.

**If Seasons is turned off later.** Programs already in a season still save normally.

**Memberships and competitions.** A membership can sit in several seasons, so adding one never moves it. Competitions follow the one-season rule and are added from the season's **Competitions** tab (see [editing a competition](/club/events-competitions/edit-a-competition)).
