So far, we’ve shown you many of the nooks and crannies in Tag Manager. This knowledge is a good starting point for working with our product. In the last step, we’d like to show you how to copy tags between sites and apps. You’ll surely need it.

You can copy your tags in a few ways: (1) copy all tags, triggers and variables; (2) copy a single tag, trigger or variable; (3) copy a snapshot from a changelog. Let’s look at each method.

2. Navigate to Settings.
3. On the left, click Import.
