Columbia Sites will switch from the Google Universal Analytics platform to Google Analytics 4 in November 2022.

Columbia Sites is very excited to bring the condensed sticky header and utility button to all sites on our platform.

NOTE: The following behavior only affects desktop layouts. Mobile layouts are not changed.

We know you’ve been getting emails from Google about moving to Google Analytics 4. We’re writing to let you know that the switch is in progress for all websites built on the Columbia Sites platform and to explain what will happen next.

In the latest Columbia Sites release, we've swapped Twitter's original blue bird for the new X logo and added two new ways to showcase past events.

Starting Thursday, May 16 and ending Sunday, May 19, we will roll out a platform-wide update that strengthens our commitment to providing accessible websites. 

Content managers can now add Bluesky and Threads to the footer and the icon library.
