So you’re modernizing your implementation by moving to AEP and you have a bunch of websites. One of the first concepts you’re introduced to in AEP is that of Datasets.

If I could have anything in 2024, I would like for Adobe to completely redo their Web SDK extension in Launch (Data Collection Tags). This article is not an instruction manual on how to use it.
