I have done this so many times when just started, that I feel now that I can close my eyes and fill in this data. Still, your step by step explanation is always welcome. Thank you, Phil

This was very helpful and easy to follow with all the screenshots, Phil...I still need to update to GA4 and was wondering if the only thing needed to do that is replace the old code with the new one?

Going to bookmark this now for the future. Thank you :-)

Glad to hear it, Susan. Yes, just get the new GA4 code and replace the old UA code.
