digitalData object not visible on Luma site when following Adobe Tags / Web SDK tutorial

Hi everyone,

I’m following the official tutorial to install Adobe Tags / Web SDK and collect data on a website. After creating the Tag property, Datastream, and related configurations, the tutorial indicates that you can validate the setup by going to:

https://luma.enablementadobe.com/content/luma/us/en.html

and then opening the browser developer tools to check for the digitalData object in the console.

However, I don’t see the digitalData variable available on the page.

What I’ve already checked:

• I verified that the page loads correctly and reloaded it multiple times.

• I used Adobe Experience Platform Debugger and tried to override the default Datastream ID with my own Datastream ID.

• After overriding and reloading the page, the behavior remains the same and digitalData is still not present.

Based on the documentation below, I expected the digitalData object to be available for creating data elements:
https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/platform-learn/implement-web-sdk/tags-configuration/create-data-elements

My questions are:

• Is digitalData still expected to be available on the Luma site by default?

• Is there an additional step required to expose digitalData, or has the tutorial become outdated?

• Should validation be done differently when using Web SDK + Datastreams?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
