# Programs

> Plan worship services with the Service Order editor, team assignments, and one-click presentation.

**Programs** are the heart of AdoraPlan. Each **Program** is one worship **Service** — with a date, service type, **Service Order**, roster, and activity notes.

### Manage people and activity

| Tab               | Purpose                                                     |

### Publish and present

From the program header:

* **Present** — launch presentation mode for this service.
* **Finalize & Notify** — publish and notify assigned team members (confirmation dialog).
* **Print Program** / **Download Report** — PDF outputs.
* **Share Service** — share a read-only link (when enabled for your plan).

Program statuses: **Draft**, **Published**, **Archived**, **Cancelled**.

### Browse and filter programs

On the **Programs** list page:

* Search by title.
* Filter by **Ministry**, **Service type**, and **Status**.
* Use date presets: **Upcoming**, **This Week**, **This Month**, **Past**.
* Switch between grid and list views.
* Card menu: **View**, **Edit**, **Duplicate**, **Publish** / **Unpublish**, **Delete**.

<Tip>
  **Duplicate last program** on the **Create** menu copies your most recent past service — a fast way to plan a recurring format.
