Sunset of Universal Analytics + Google Analytics 4

What is Google Analytics 4?

Google Analytics 4, often known as GA4, is a brand-new tool that will replace Universal Analytics as the measurement tool in the future. According to Google, "Universal Analytics property" will cease data processing on July 1, 2023. Starting in July, fresh data will only enter Google Analytics 4.

The notification about the update should be visible at the top of your Google Analytics dashboard after logging in. Only if you are still utilizing Universal property will the notification appear.

Identify which property version you are using

You are most likely using Universal Analytics if you created a property before October 14, 2020. The easiest way to check the property ID is by clicking the drop-down menu beside the Google Analytics logo. 
Google Analytics - Account Drop down

Universal Analytics ID starts with “UA”, while Google Analytics 4 property ID “only has numbers”

The first property in the example below is in Universal Analytics since its property ID begins with "UA," while the second property is already in Google Analytics 4 because its property ID only consists of numbers.
