First off, I want you to remember that your

somewhat close) between UA and GA4.
They are two different data models, and they
are measuring things in slightly different
ways. Plus you might be missing filters in
GA4 that exist in UA.

These views are for all views of the page, not just the page where
people started, We need to change the events to be for Session

Comparison button.

Next option is creating an Exploration. What's nice about this option
is that you'll be able to save how this is set up so you can refer to it

Exploration.

Drag the "Page path" dimension to the Rows area, then drag
