Validating

When you complete a save and publish, new code is generated and the files are updated. This process can take a few minutes. The primary tool for verifying the status of the Universal tag (utag.js) on your site is Web Companion.

Learn more about using Web Companion.

Version number and timestamp

The version number, or timestamp of the current revision, is the best way to verify that your changes are live on the site. Match the timestamp from Web Companion to the timestamp of your last publish to verify that your changes are live.

Compare the timestamp to the version displayed in Web Companion once the version has been reloaded on the page.

The timezone reported in Tealium iQ is GMT while the timezone is reported locally within Web Companion.
