Migrating older Adobe Portfolio sites from UA to G4?

I have two simple websites created via Adobe Portfolio a few years ago. I'm seeing this warning at the top of the Google Analytics page: "Universal Analytics will no longer process new data in standard properties beginning July 1, 2023. Prepare now by setting up and switching over to a Google Analytics 4 property." Ok, fair enough. I tried using their migration assistant but ran into this snag: "Based on your current tag setup, you'll need to install new tags on your site to use GA4."

Instructions for installing new tags says "In the Property column, click Data Streams." But there's no such option showing for me in the Property column.

Any advice as to how I can move forward? TIA.

Forget about Tags.  Portfolio doesn't support Ad Word tags.  All you want is new tracking code.

This is not urgent as you have 6+ months to migrate from former UA (universal analytics) tracking code to new & improved GA tracking code.

 

Log-in to your Analytics account below.

https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/

Click on ADMIN

GA4 Setup Assistant.

Follow instructions to migrate from UA to GA tracking code.

 

Paste new tracking code into the Analytics field of your Portfolio site settings.   See below for more details on using Portfolio with Google Analytics.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much, Nancy. I tried that earlier but failed...instructions for installing new tags says "In the Property column, click Data Streams." But there was no such option showing for me in the Property column. However, I'm encouraged by your kind response to try again. Entirely possible that I made an error somewhere in the process. I'll report back after trying again. Many thanks.

Thank you for those links. However, they did not address my issue at all. I can't be the only Adobe Portfolio user who is facing this dilemma.
