## Organization slugs

Organization slugs are human-readable URL identifiers that help users reference which organization they're working in.

To enable it on your application, toggle **Enable organization slugs** in the [**Organizations Settings**](https://dashboard.clerk.com/last-active?path=organizations-settings) page.

If disabled, organization slugs won't be displayed in the [`<CreateOrganization />`](/docs/reference/components/organization/create-organization), [`<OrganizationList />`](/docs/reference/components/organization/organization-list), and [`<OrganizationSwitcher />`](/docs/reference/components/organization/organization-switcher) components.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Organization slugs are disabled by default for applications created after 10-06-2025. For applications created before this date, you can opt to disable it.

What's the rules with date formats? I can see some places in the docs where the numeric format is used and others where the written format ("October 6, 2025") is used. Personally, I prefer the written format as diff countries have diff numeric formats for dates. But yeah curious on this one @alexisintech ?

Speaking from my past role, I'd +1 the written out format too. It's the safest default.

If we change this one to October 6, 2025, can we update the 08-22-2025 right above this too on line 68 for consistency?

Note

If we wanted to get crazy fancy, we could create a <Date> component that uses Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString() to format the date in the reader's preference.

Done: Change date to written format.

I like the idea of the <Date> component in the long run @manovotny!

LOL! You did something different than what you suggested. October 6, 2025October 6th, 2025.

It's @alexisintech's call, but IMO, I wouldn't use nd, th, etc in the dates.

## Active organization

When a user is a member of an organization, they can switch between different organizations. The organization workspace that a user is currently viewing is called the **active organization**. The active organization determines which organization-specific data the user can access and which role and related permissions they have within the organization.
