Documentation for @sanity/components

The @sanity/components package was part of Sanity Studio v2 and has been deprecated. It's no longer actively maintained or documented, as it was part of the old "Parts system" that was removed when Studio v3 was released.

What replaced it?

For Studio v3 and beyond, you should use @sanity/ui instead. This is the modern UI component library that powers Sanity Studio and is what you should use for building custom components, plugins, and studio customizations.

The @sanity/ui documentation includes:

• A complete component library with consistent styling
• Interactive examples in Arcade (the UI component playground)
• Better TypeScript support
• Modern React patterns (React 18+)

Why the change?

When Sanity Studio v3 launched, they deprecated the Parts system (which included @sanity/components and the part:@sanity/components/* imports). The v3 architecture simplified customization by consolidating everything into the single sanity npm package and using standard ES module imports instead of the Parts system.

If you're still on v2

If you're working with an older Studio v2 project, the @sanity/components package may still be in your node_modules, but official documentation for it is no longer maintained. You can find some legacy references in the Sanity v2 recipes, but the recommendation is to migrate to Studio v3 to access current documentation and support.

For any custom UI work going forward, start with @sanity/ui and the custom component documentation.
