We are running a production and staging version of our site and would like to benefit from Google Tag Manager (GTM) [environments](https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6311518), so we don’t need to set up two independent containers. Instead of using the GTM setting (see image below), I was thinking of pasting the modified tag code in `admin -> Customize -> CSS / HTML -> `, which would allow to add the environment – the current GTM setting doesn’t have this option. ![Screen Shot 2020-03-04 at 12.17.28.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/1/41fbef15a616a45c7c8e2d78267a93638b369e18.png) Before going ahead, I was wondering if both ways would be equivalent. Is there anything I’m missing?
