May I ask if u have ( browse my course ) in home page and other sub pages. Can we still use the same method to track? Because the URL will b same. Thanks

You don't need to track your existing pages with events - simply navigate to the Pages & Screens report and you'll find the information you need!

[@user-fb5fz8cm7i]

Can you show the report part of this button clicks in GA4? Where we can see how mny button clicks happened in GA4 reports ?

[@xyzl]

Navigate to GA4 > Reports > any report (for example Traffic Acquisition) > scroll on the right and you will find a column named “Event Count” > Click to open the dropdown menu > You will see the names of all the Events you are currently tracking
Thanks for the video suggestion! Will do!
