Installation and upgrading

To initiate a new Studio without installing the CLI globally:

npm create sanity@latest

pnpm create sanity@latest

yarn create sanity@latest

bun create sanity@latest

In most cases upgrading your studio is as straight-forward as installing the latest version:

npm install sanity@latest

pnpm add sanity@latest

yarn add sanity@latest

bun add sanity@latest

For more information, visit the article on upgrading Sanity Studio in the docs.

If you are upgrading from a version earlier than 3.37.0, you also need to upgrade styled-components and @sanity/ui. To learn more, visit this help article on keeping dependencies up to date.

✨ Highlights

• Improved global search with better performance and new features.
• Custom styles are now displayed in the Portable Text Editor (PTE) style selector.

We've optimized the search functionality in the Studio for increased performance, especially in workspaces with large schemas. This improvement includes support for wildcard (*) and negation (-) tokens in search queries, allowing for more flexible and powerful search options. This enhanced search feature uses an internal API that is not yet documented for public use.

If you need to revert to the previous search behavior for any reason, you can disable the new search functionality by setting search.enableLegacySearch to true in your configuration.

• Fixes tooltip text for the publish button to correctly display "yesterday" without the "ago" suffix when appropriate.
