Need to publish in order to apply changes in debug mode?

Tag Manager

Hi all,

It seems I always need to publish my container in order to be able to test my changes (for example: disabling a tag or editing the tag’s content). This defeats the purpose of a debug/preview mode I think :slight_smile:

It is surprising behaviour since the URL contains mtmPreviewMode=CONTAINER_ID and mtmSetDebugFlag=1 and my page indeed shows a working Matomo debug overlay.

I am doing something wrong?

Any input appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
François

Hi @fbruneau
The preview mode can be applied either on a published version (when the preview mode is activated on a specific version) or on the draft version (when activated thanks to the preview mode from the left menu).
In the preview mode, you can see on which version it has been applied.
If you want to disable the preview mode, only the left menu link can do it.

Also be careful if the container script is in the browser cache or not (it could then load an old version of the preview container…)
