I do not see my campaign on the QA Assistant

Some changes are automatically saved when you make changes such as in the Editor step, others require manual saving such as targeting, traffic allocation, etc.
If the last update date of the Tag is too old or took place before your last changes, some changes may not be applied to your site and will therefore not appear in the QA Assistant.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of your tag to include all recent changes by clicking the Refresh tag button from AB Tasty platform:

Or from the QA Assistant, click on the Refresh tag button and refresh the webpage:

There is a Content Security Policy error

If you notice Content Security Policy errors in the console when you try to load the QA Assistant, the current problem must come from your server configuration.

Content Security Policy may be blocking everything on your website. This means that you have to individually approve every single external request and whitelist them on the server configuration.
To address this issue, refer to the back-end developers of your website in order to whitelist the *.abtasty.com domain in your Content Security Policy.
