– Events as Goals, with condition / value settings similar to creating an Advanced Segment.

– Customizable dashboards and multiple dashboards (Create your dashboard from scratch, including configuring how the actual widgets appear on your dashboard and what data those widgets will show).

– An improved control panel for account administrators, including a new hierarchy layer (Previous: Account >> Profile. New: Account >> Web Property (UA Number) >> Profile).

– Advanced Segments, Annotations, and Custom Alerts are now considered “Assets” of a Web Property.

– Creation of Annotations for future dates.
