'New' Google Analytics Profile ID Location


Those who have used Google Analytics API before for data export will be familiar with the need to specify a profile id (or table id).
If you're looking at a specific profile, chances are you'd rather quickly retrieve this from Google Analytics rather than download an entire list of your profiles through the API.
In old Google Analytics it was quite simple to find once you knew how. Clicking 'Analytics Settings' then edit on a Profile brought up the following:

However in the new version of Google Analytics, I wasn't able to locate the profile id in the same place. Instead I have only found it located in the url bar (after the p):

I'm not sure why it's so hidden given it needs to be exposed in the API; does anyone have an easier way of accessing it?
As a side note, I'm finding myself using the Data Feed Query Explorer a lot lately. If you've not used it yet, give it a try, it saves a lot of time debugging!
