GA Google Analytics Pro (GA Pro) is equipped with complete inline documentation available via the Help tab on the plugin settings screen. The Help tab always will be current with the latest version of GA Pro, while the settings information below may not be as current (due to the update cycle). Further, the information provided below covers the basic settings and features that are included with GA Pro, and doesn’t go into as much depth as the inline documentation (Help tab), which also includes important notes, tips, and info. Just FYI.

For additional information on GA Pro, check the GA Pro Docs and GA Pro Tutorials.
