Google introduced the new version of Google Analytics, called Google Analytics 4 (GA4), in October 2020. GA4 has some distinct differences from Universal Analytics (UA), which are important to understand before considering migration and the data schema changes that might require.

You might not be able to perfectly recreate your UA reports in GA4. One approach is to send your data to both UA and GA4 while you build out your new reports in GA4, and improve those reports over time. Once you are satisfied that your GA4 reports meet your needs, you can gradually migrate away from using the original reporting in UA.

GA4 requires that you use GA4’s recommended events and properties in order to get the new reports. Segment’s GA4 destination will automatically map your Segment spec events to the corresponding recommended GA4 events and properties. If your events do not follow the Segment spec exactly, don’t worry; you’ll be able to modify the mappings. You can also create custom events and properties.
