Google today launched Universal Analytics Upgrade, a two-step process to upgrade your existing properties from Classic Analytics to Universal Analytics. The company wants to enable the new version for all Analytics properties so that it can roll out all updates and new features on top of the Universal Analytics infrastructure.

Here are the two steps you can now take:

1. Transfer your property from Classic to Universal Analytics. Google is beginning to offer a new tool in the admin section of all accounts to transfer your properties to Universal Analytics. In the coming weeks, look for it in your property settings.


2. Re-tag with a version of the Universal Analytics tracking code. Upgrade your tracking code with the analytics.js JavaScript library on your websites, and Android or iOS SDK v2.x or higher for your mobile apps.

To make sure all properties upgrade, Google says Classic Analytics properties that don’t initiate a transfer will be auto-transferred to Universal Analytics “in the coming months.”
