Google updates Analytics again...

It seems a lot of people couldn't get used to the new GA layout, so Google has tweaked the design a bit to make it more logical.

Google Analytics Blog: Refining the new Google Analytics

My biggest question though, and would be great to hear if anyone else has cracked this. Where is the original "overview" view?

Previously, I'd open up my GA account, and the first page would display all my sites, with a high level view of visits, goals, bounce and percentage change.

With a quick glance, I could spot any immediate problems, ie low goal conversion rate, or a red arrow telling me my traffic was down 10%, and investigate. I also named my sites numerically so they would display in the order I wanted them to, ie 1. My Local Services etc...

Now, there is no sign of the quick high level view, and all my sites display in a bizarre unlogical order

Instead I have to go into each web property, and open it up to check traffic levels goals etc, as opposed to being able to view all sites together.

If I've missed an obvious setting (other than "use old version") I'm all ears!

are they trying to make it Mobile friendly and forgetting the notebook/pc users!? I would simply use the old version though.

Now I've been using it a while, I'm warming to the new version, although the novelty of real time has long worn off Spent hours just staring at the screen...

Just wish I could get the overview from the original layout Must be there somewhere...

I like it. I'm finding I use much more of the product now due to the improved layout and clustering of information in the layout.

Thanks,
