Studio now uses @sanity/ui v4

Sanity Studio now uses the latest update to @sanity/ui. If your studio relies on custom input components that make use of the bundled version of Sanity UI, you should review the latest changelog entry and v3 to v4 migration guide.

🐛 Notable bugfixes and improvements

Tooltips and popovers no longer unmount

Tooltips and popovers now stay in the DOM when closed and hide with visibility: hidden instead of unmounting. If your E2E tests assert that these elements don't exist when closed, those assertions will now fail. Check visibility instead of existence.

  • Playwright: use expect(locator).toBeHidden() rather than expect(locator).toHaveCount(0)
  • Testing Library: use expect(el).not.toBeVisible() rather than expect(queryBy...).toBeNull()
  • Fixed the Content Releases detail view showing Untitled for documents that were unpublished by a release.
  • Fixed an issue in Content Releases where unscheduling a release could revert its publish date to a previously scheduled date instead of the most recent one. Scheduling a release now records the selected date as its intended publish date, so unscheduling and rescheduling behave consistently.
  • Fixed an issue where the confirmation popover for reverting a change near the bottom of the review changes panel could be clipped by the panel edge, making its buttons inaccessible.
  • Navigating to the URL of a workspace that is hidden for the current user (via hidden: true or a hidden() callback) now redirects to the first visible workspace instead of showing a "Workspace not found" screen. This fixes Sanity-hosted studios landing on "Workspace not found" after logging in, when the first configured workspace is hidden for the user.
  • Fixed a bug where uploading a new image from inside a Portable Text field could close the image block's edit dialog as soon as the upload started, cancelling the upload and leaving an empty image block in the editor. The same collapse could close any array item's edit dialog when focus landed on the item it was editing.
  • Fixed the mentions menu collapsing into an empty popover when mentioning someone in a comment on a one-line Portable Text field.
  • The delete confirmation dialog now uses singular copy ("Delete document" / "Are you sure you want to delete this document?") when a document has only one version, instead of always saying "all versions".
  • Clicking outside an open comment popover now correctly dismisses it.
