Google recently rolled out new features in Google Tag Manager. These features include native YouTube and Scroll Tracking triggers and variables. If you have noticed one other hidden feature, that enables you to pause any tag within the current workspace.
Yes, you can pause the tag!
Follow the simple steps below to pause any tag.
- Open tags section within your GTM account
- Click on the tag that you want to pause.
