hey guys! what’s the best way to get the image url for an image field inside of the Studio? The use case is display the document image for SEO preview in the split preview panel.
asset.url
  ?
unfortunately, it’s 
undefined
😞
I named the image 
image
in my document, and this is what I get:

{
  asset: {
    _ref: 'image-[hash]-[dimension]-png',
    type: 'reference'
  },
  _type: 'image'
}
image.url
is 
undefined
and 
image.asset.url
is also 
undefined
Can you share the document schema?
And when you write 
The use case is display the document image for SEO preview in the split preview panel.
, how are you implementing this?
Sure. Here it is.(thanks for helping, btw!)
Here’s the document
Here’s the 
SEOPreview
component
Not really sure. what about 
seo.image._ref
as weird as that seems?
_ref
is on 
seo.image
and it’s not a filename. it looks like this “image-aecfca21db0ccac083c7df9bad5c6b057d29d97a-3072x1716-png”
You can use the 
@sanity/image-url
module: https://github.com/sanity-io/image-url 
urlFor(seo.image).toString()

! follow-up question, how do I get the current dataset and projectId from inside the Studio to initiate the sanity client?
You can get the preconfigured client by importing it through 
import client from 'part:@sanity/base/client'
awesome, thanks! that’s exactly what I need
