QA Update: ✅

• I went through our release checklist.
• Checked the Analytics module. While GA4 Reporting is behind a feature flag, I want to make sure everything works as expected.
• Completed testing with GA4 Reporting and GTE Support feature flags disabled as we'll be testing before launch.

QA ✅

• Smoke tested.
• Verified the changes I’ve been involved with*
• Performed some ad-hoc testing.

⚠️ I did spot a bug while testing, however this is not a regression and so it should not impact this release. The bug is that the Entity Ownership Changed notice is being displayed even when there are no shared roles for the module (this makes the notice text a bit misleading as it states "you're granting other users view-only access"). I've created a new issue for it: #6952

* I also noticed the AC for #6838 are not fully met, as the Gathering Data notice is not displayed on the view-only dashboard while GA4 is gathering data. However, this has been raised separately in #6944 and a comment on that issue indicates it should be fixed in #6897.

QA ✅

• Tested issues in the release
• Smoke tested features, mostly Analytics + Tag Manager
• Tested an existing and previous site with GTE support enabled and disabled
• Didn't do any testing with the GA4 Reporting flag enabled as we all did lots of testing just a few days ago with it on 🙂

All looks good to me 👍🏻
