If you don’t currently have a GA4 property, choose “**I want to create a new Google Analytics 4 property**”.

* Select **Create and Continue** at the prompt.

If you already have a GA4 property you wish to connect to, you can opt to connect to that instead.
{% endhint %}

Set up the Google Tag (*optional*)

* If you already have a Google Tag that you use for Formsort, you can choose it by selecting “**Use a Google Tag…**” and selecting from the menu - Google should should connect your GTM container to your Analytics account.&#x20;
* If you need to create one, select **Install a Google tag** then **Next**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.formsort.com/integrations/integration-reference/google-analytics/updating-from-universal-analytics-to-ga4.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
