Learning to create custom Sanity Desk components with tutorial videos and guides

Great question! Learning to create custom Sanity Desk components is an exciting step forward. Let me point you to some helpful resources.

Official Documentation and Tutorials

The best place to start is the Structure customization lesson in Sanity's Studio Excellence course. This lesson includes a video walkthrough that covers:

• Defining custom structures with the Structure Builder API
• Creating document view panes
• Filtering and organizing document lists

The lesson walks through practical examples like creating filtered lists (upcoming vs. past events) and adding custom document views using plugins like the Documents Pane plugin.

Understanding Custom Document Views

For custom desk components specifically, you'll want to understand two key concepts:

1. Structure Builder - This is the API that lets you customize how document lists and views are organized in the Structure tool (formerly called the Desk tool in Studio v2)

2. Component Views - These allow you to add custom React components as views within document editors, going beyond the default form view

Getting Started

The Structure Builder uses the S object (short for StructureBuilder) to define custom layouts. You can:

• Filter and organize document lists with custom GROQ queries
• Add custom view panes to documents using S.view.component()
• Create specialized interfaces for different content types

For more advanced customization, check out the Structure Builder cheat sheet which has quick examples of common patterns.

Community Resources

While I couldn't find specific recent video tutorials from Knut on this exact topic, Knut Melvær's profile on Sanity.io has various tutorials and guides that might be helpful for related topics.

The Studio Excellence course is really your best bet - it's comprehensive, up-to-date with Studio v3, and includes both video and written content with practical examples you can follow along with. Good luck with your custom components!
