If you're using Next, I recommend using next-sanity . It's a great toolkit and has some good examples of usage in its readme.

Use Preview Subscription will be for if you set up live previews of your content inside of the sanity Studio. To make an
<a>tag, you would have to set up a serializer for the block. How do you currently have it set up in your Portable Text editor?

It look something like that:// schema.js
// blockContent.js
export default {
name: 'body',
type: 'array',
title: 'Body',
of: [
{
type: 'block'
}
]
}/**

* type: 'blockContent'
* }

of: [
{
title: 'Block',
type: 'block',
