What it looks like. Here is a screenshot of the new home page:
Broken into five parts. The new home page is broken into these five parts:
- Overview shows metrics that are relevant to you based on your behavior in Analytics
- Realtime shows activity as it happens using data from the Realtime report
- “Recently viewed” provides links to parts of Analytics that you visited most recently
- “Because you view frequently” shows cards that you view often
- “Insights” shows unusual changes, emerging trends, and other insights about your sites and apps
More details. Google has posted a more detailed help document breaking out how to use this new home page over here.
Why we care. When Google makes changes to the features you use on a daily or hourly basis, it can take some time to adjust. So go check out this new home page in GA4 and acclimate yourself to it. Dig in and hopefully you will find new tidbits and pieces of information that you didn’t see in the previous version.
