## FAQ
### Do I have to use the TinyMCE button to add event tracking?
No, you can simply add data-track=”event” to trigger the event, and use data-category,
data-label, and data-action to include those elements in the event.
### Does this track all click events?
If you use the simple editor button, or add the data-event = “true” to any ``
tag, then it will track the event in Google Analytics.
### Does this only work with GTAG?
There are options in the settings page of the plugin to choose Universal Analytics
analytics.js
