# Macro shows a "connect Google" panel instead of a chart

**What you are seeing**

The macro shows a "connect Google" panel instead of a chart.

---

## Why it happens

The site's Google connection is missing, expired or unhealthy. Reports and the macro both read data through that one site-level connection.

---

## What to do

An admin should open Settings > Apps > Google Analytics and reconnect Google. Tracking is unaffected in the meantime: only reading data stops.

## Settings involved

| **Setting**                           | **Where**                                           | **What it does**                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Connect Google Analytics / Disconnect | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Connect Google | Starts a Google sign-in popup. The connection is site-level: one admin connects once and the whole Confluence site uses it. Disconnect revokes access at Google and deletes the stored tokens. |
| GA4 property                          | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > Connect Google | Which GA4 property the in-Confluence reports read from. Also scopes the data stream, API secret and custom dimension controls.                                                                 |
| Data stream                           | Settings > Apps > Google Analytics > View tracking  | Picking a web data stream fills in the Measurement ID for you.                                                                                                                                 |
