GTM Draft, Drift & Reconnection
Check container publication separately from connection and saved status.
Content and code last checked 2026-10-06 by ConsentEase product documentation. This is a review of the written content and code, not a test on a live third-party platform.
Connected but no live banner
Confirm account/container IDs, draft changes and the published container version. A wizard completion or stored status is not proof the live site uses that version.
Drift or competing edits
Inspect the live tag/template, trigger, website ID and consent initialization. Another administrator can change the container after setup. Compare actual configuration before recreating tags.
OAuth or permission errors
Reconnect with the Google identity that has the necessary account/container permissions. Revoked access, missing containers and wrong-account selection differ from a runtime tag failure. Do not ask clients to share Google passwords.
Preview works, production does not
Publish deliberately, confirm the production site's container ID and clear applicable site caches. Inspect CSP and duplicate manual/plugin installations. Test signed-out fresh contexts.
Scope of verification
GTM Preview and live diagnostics observe specific contexts. They do not automatically establish every regional, route or checkout behaviour. Keep unpublished proposals separate from production results.
