Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about the direct consequences of a major URL path change on Mixpanel reports. However, I can provide some relevant information about how Mixpanel tracks page views, which could be affected by URL changes: According to Mixpanel's documentation on sending events, page view tracking can be enabled automatically on every page load. The default page view event includes properties such as current_url_path and current_url_search. If a major URL path changes, it could potentially affect: 1. The consistency of your page view data, as the new URL paths would be different from the old ones. 2. Any reports or funnels that rely on specific URL paths as part of their criteria.To mitigate potential issues, you might consider: 1. Updating any custom event tracking that relies on specific URL paths. 2. Reviewing and potentially updating any reports, funnels, or boards that use URL-based properties. 3. Using custom properties to maintain consistency in your tracking, regardless of URL changes.It's important to note that without more specific information about your particular setup and the extent of the URL changes, it's difficult to provide a comprehensive answer about all potential consequences. If you're planning a major URL structure change, it would be advisable to consult with Mixpanel's support team for more tailored advice.
