Preview before publishing

Preview mode lets you test container changes before they go live. It helps confirm which tags fired and which tags did not.

  • Use preview mode before publishing important changes.
  • Test the real user action, not only the page load.
  • Check tags that fired and tags that did not fire.
  • Confirm the data sent by the tag is what you expect.

Workspaces and versions

Workspaces help organize changes, while versions preserve a snapshot of what was published.

  • A workspace can hold a set of draft changes.
  • Publishing creates a container version.
  • Version notes help future reviewers understand what changed.
  • A previous version can help with recovery if a release causes a problem.

  • Avoid triggers that fire on broader actions than intended.
  • Check consent and environment differences where relevant.
