Does anyone have an example for setting Page Title and Page Description via sanity...or it has to be done for each component separately ? not using react-helmet --

, I think what you're looking for is element previews. You set these in the schema/s, just once for each type. You have a lot of freedom as to what you want to put in them, while the defaults show how it can be equally simple, such as the items you mention.You'd need a way to pull a description from your item, which could be based on its content (first few lines if text, or a field in the item if you want to write this separately in the editor.
This documentation should explain, and good fortune:

well, unless I misunderstand, it would be the same method. Here's how it's done for pages in a blog schema -- look at the bottom lines about preview, select (which is how you can pull data from fields) and prepare (which lets you format it, also add info from other sources programmatically)
import {defineField, defineType} from 'sanity'export default defineType({ name: 'post',
title: 'Post',
type: 'document',
fields: [
defineField({ name: 'title',
title: 'Title',
type: 'string',
}),
defineField({ name: 'slug',
title: 'Slug',
type: 'slug',
options: { source: 'title',
maxLength: 96,
},
}),
defineField({ name: 'author',
title: 'Author',
type: 'reference',
to: {type: 'author'}, }),
defineField({ name: 'mainImage',
title: 'Main image',
type: 'image',
options: { hotspot: true,
},
}),
defineField({ name: 'categories',
title: 'Categories',
type: 'array',
of: [{type: 'reference', to: {type: 'category'}}],}),
defineField({ name: 'publishedAt',
title: 'Published at',
type: 'datetime',
}),
defineField({ name: 'body',
title: 'Body',
type: 'blockContent',
}),
],
preview: { select: { title: 'title',
author: 'author.name',
media: 'mainImage',
},
prepare(selection) { const {author} = selection `return {...selection, subtitle: author && by ${author}}` },
},
})
