**Summary:** Switch the active organization safely. The console reloads in the selected tenant and does not retain data from the prior organization.  
**Who can do this:** Organization owners, Managers, Staff  
**Required access:** `organization.membership`  
**Where in PositiveForm:** `/`  
**Status:** Draft: not yet verified against a deployed PositiveForm build. Labels may differ.

> Draft: current headed-browser evidence is still being completed.

## Who this is for

Owners, managers, and staff whose account belongs to more than one
PositiveForm organization.

Required access: membership in both the current and destination organizations.

## Before you begin

- Confirm that the account belongs to at least two active organizations.
- Finish or cancel any unsaved form before switching.

## Steps

1. In the application sidebar, open the organization selector directly below
   the organization name and logo.
2. Under **Organizations**, select the destination organization. An
   organization marked **Pending deletion** cannot be selected.
3. Wait for PositiveForm to reload the workspace.
4. Confirm that the sidebar brand and organization selector show the selected
   organization.
5. Before editing anything, confirm that dashboard counts and visible records
   belong to the selected organization.

## Expected outcome

The console reloads in the selected tenant. The shell and organization-scoped
data identify the destination organization, with no records retained from the
previous tenant.

## Recovery

- If the organization is missing, ask its owner to confirm your staff access.
- If it is marked **Pending deletion**, do not try to work around the disabled
  option; contact the organization owner.
- If the brand changes but old organization data remains visible, stop work,
  switch back, and contact PositiveForm support urgently.
