How do I upgrade from UA to GA4 using Cord? #57

I want to use Cord to upgrade from UA to GA4, but I need to keep the UA property vs replace it so I don't lose historical data. Based on what I'm seeing in Cord, I can only have 1x tracking ID live--is there a way to have both UA and GA4 tracking ID's running simultaneously?

Hello!

You can use Sitekit by Google to use GA4.

We do not have the resources to implement and maintain such a needlessly intricate system, and I will likely retire Cord once Facebook Pixel and UA3 are sunsetted next year. Among many other SEOs, I condemn Google for shutting down UA in 2023.
