We've redesigned our site, and the single goal URL that we used became out of date.
We forgot to update it, but have done so now.

We see that the goals for this month are still zero. Therefore, I assume that updating a goal URL does not backdate the goal total for hits to that URL?

For example:

Original goal URL:


/mysite.com/goal.html


After redesign, actual URL:


/mysite.com/cart/goal.html


Time elapses and actual URL is hit, then goal URL updated to:


/mysite.com/cart/goal.html


We hoped that it would update the goal totals, as the URLs are still visible in other statistics.
