# Set or Swap Active Programs

Activate a different program (but don't worry, we keep your training history intact).

Sometimes you may want to switch from your current program to a new program you have created, or to a previously used program you want to activate again.

**Option 1: Setting a New Program as Your Active Program** 

1.  Tap the **+** button in the center of the bottom navigation.
    
2.  Tap to **New Program**.
    
3.  Complete the program setup flow.
    
4.  At the end of the flow, tap **Activate Program**.
    

**Option 2: Setting a Program From Your Workout Library as Your Active Program**

1.  Go to the **Workout** tab.
    
2.  Under **Workout Library**, tap **Expand** to view your full library.
    
3.  **Drag the program** you want to use into your active program area.
    

After activating a new program, check your dashboard to confirm the change. You will see updated targets.

**Note:** Switching active programs does not reset or delete any previously logged workouts, muscle group data, or exercise history.
