# Container Overview

Containers organize tracking configurations such as plugins, rules, and parameters for specific domains or environments. For more information, see [Component Guide and Setup Steps](/v1/docs/integration-and-initial-setup).

---

## Container List

The table shows all containers and their configuration status.

- **Name / Type** Identifies the container and its platform (web or mobile).
- **Status** Indicates whether the container is active or has unpublished changes.
- **Version** Shows the currently published version. A new version is created when changes are published.
- **Domain** Defines where the container is loaded.
- **Plugins** Lists the tracking functionality configured in the container. Plugins control what data is collected and how tracking behaves.

## Container Status

Each container has a status that reflects its deployment state:

- **New** The container has been created but not yet published.
- **Pending changes** Changes exist that are not yet published. These changes are not active.
- **Active** The container is published and used for tracking on the defined domains.
- **Inactive** The container is not active and is not used for tracking.

---

## Actions

Use the actions menu to manage a container:

- **Edit** Modify the container configuration.
- **Copy** Create a duplicate of the container.
- **Publish** Apply all current changes. This creates a new version and activates the updated configuration.
- **Discard changes** Remove all unpublished changes and revert to the last published version.
- **Deactivate** Stop using the container for tracking without deleting it.
- **Download** Export the container configuration.
- **Delete**

Permanently remove the container.
