# Disabling Tracking

## Disabling Tracking

### Default vs. Custom Tag Configuration

#### Default

To disable all automatic **Default Tag** tracking in the tenancy, simply delete the **WTDefaultConfig** row from the **Tag Configurations** tab.

See [Deleting Configurations > Deleting the Default Tag](/v1/docs/webtrends-tag-manager-deleting-configurations)

          Note:

          

The Default Tag is only available when using the Tenant-Wide version of the Webtrends Tag Manager.

          Note:

          

Removal of the **WTDefaultConfig** disables tracking, but does not remove the extension from each site. To remove the extension see [Webtrends Tag Manager Removal](/v1/docs/webtrends-tag-manager-removal)

#### Custom Tag

To disable modern page and classic page tracking using a **Custom Tag** on individual site collections:

1. Click the **Site Collections** tab.
2. Select one or more sites in the list. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2845%29.png)
3. Click **... > Un-tag Sites** at the top. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2859%29.png)
4. Click **Confirm** in the pop-up window. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/0afe9842-6601-4812-b9e2-2726979f2233/Images/Documentation/image%2858%29.png)

          Note:

          

In the **Tenant-Wide** version of *Webtrends Tag Manager*, if the **Default Tag** is configured, the site will switch to the *Default Tag* configuration for future tracking purposes, and no classic pages will be tracked on the site.

          Note:

          

In the **Single-Site** version of *Webtrends Tag Manager*, the removal of a *Custom Tag* will uninstall the *Webtrends Tag Manager* package from the site collection and sub-sites directly, where it will no longer be visible in the *Site Contents* page of each site collection and sub-site.

It is recommended to **only** add/remove this on a site using the *Webtrends Tag Manager* interface to avoid the Tag Manager and the site from becoming out of sync.

          Note:

          

In the **Single-Site** version of *Webtrends Tag Manager*, the removal of a *Custom Tag* will display a warning bar on the left side of the affected row(s).

Affected rows will be *unselectable* within the UI for 5 minutes, and display a warning to "*Please wait 5 minutes before modifying highlighted site(s).*" when hovered over.

Further interaction with the site within the 5 minutes can result in errors if the SharePoint Timer Job is still pending. This delay helps prevent unnecessary errors.
