Process Flow
Animated overview of the full workflow
TL;DR
Workspaces in GTM let multiple people work on changes simultaneously without interfering with each other. Each workspace is an independent copy of the container that can be edited and previewed separately. When ready, merge workspace changes into the default workspace and publish. Free GTM allows 3 simultaneous workspaces.

- 1
How Workspaces Work
The Default Workspace reflects the currently published state. Additional workspaces branch off from the current state. Each workspace has its own tags, triggers, and variables that can be edited independently. Changes in one workspace do not affect others until merged.

Creating a Workspace
Click the workspace dropdown > create new workspace. Name it descriptively. Make your changes, test in Preview mode, then submit to merge and publish.

Conflict Resolution
If two workspaces modify the same tag, GTM flags a conflict when merging. You must resolve by choosing which version to keep.
