Limitations of Event Builder
Be aware of certain limitations of Event Builder when building and managing events.
- You cannot edit events built in Event Builder once you create them.
- Event Builder can only track elements that already exist on your website.
- You can build a maximum of 300 events. You must delete unused events if you need to create new ones after you reach the limit.
