The Google Tag Manager Community Template Gallery gives you as a Tag Manager user the ability to discover community-created tag and variable templates and add them to your containers.
Browse the Gallery
The Community Template Gallery contains listings of all the active tag and variable templates that are available. To browse the gallery, visit tagmanager.google.com/gallery.
Each template detail page provides additional information about the template, the author, and any required permissions. The detail page will provide a link to the template's GitHub repository, and may also have author-provided links for additional information, documentation, and support.

Update a template
If an imported template receives an update from the publisher, you will be alerted from within Tag Manager that an update is available via a notification bar at the top of your container's main screen.
To update a template:
- In the update notification bar, click View. A list of templates with updates will appear.
- Click the entry that you'd like to update. A page that compares the differences between the current version and new version will appear.
- To install the updated version, click Accept update. Field values and configurations will be retained between versions. (Or click Skip update to disregard this version.)
- If necessary, test and republish your container for the updates to take effect.
Edit an imported template (advanced)
Once a tag or variable template has been imported from the Gallery, you can edit it in the template editor. See the developer documentation for more information on how to edit custom templates.
If a template is modified, it will no longer be updated when the template publisher provides an update. If you need to re-import a template from the community, you can discard changes and re-import the desired template so that it stays up to date.
Publish a template
If you wish to build and publish a template for submission to the Community Template Gallery, see our developer documentation, upload instructions, and style guide.
