  3. Only when you manually publish the Tags property, your Content Analytics configuration is effectively deployed and data collection is started.

  4. You can only make some minor changes to an implemented configuration using the guided configuration wizard. For example, change the data view.

  5. You can make other changes to an implemented configuration using the Adobe Content Analytics extension in the associated Tags property.
