# Add conditional workspace visibility and general bug fixing

**Version:** v5.22.0

**Published:** April 22, 2026

## New hidden property in workspace configuration

New `hidden` property on workspace configuration. Accepts a boolean or a callback that receives `{currentUser}` and returns `true` to hide the workspace.

```typescript
hidden: ({currentUser}) => {
  if (currentUser === null) return false
  return !currentUser.roles.some((role) => role.name === 'administrator')
}
```

- `hidden: true` hides the workspace unconditionally.
- `hidden: (context) => boolean` evaluates after authentication resolves.
- Before auth completes, `currentUser` is `null`. Handle this in callbacks.
- Client-side UI visibility only. Enforce access control server-side via Sanity role-based access controls (RBAC)

## 🐛 Notable bugfixes and improvements

- References in dialogs and popovers will be visible with the available space and not hide under different sections of the UI
- Fixes a bug breaking document lists sorting on a sub path (e.g. `slug.current`) when using the `groq2024` search strategy.
- Fixed programmatic focus (e.g. jumping to a divergence from the overview) when inline changes mode is on. Previously the focus was silently dropped for string fields in this mode.
- `BlockRule` now uses `PortableTextBlock` instead of `any[]`, matching the actual runtime value passed to custom validators.
- Fixes an issue where document list previews could fail to load on slower connections due to redundant network requests triggered by unrelated document mutations.
- CLI: Adds `--skip-content-releases` flag to `sanity datasets copy` for excluding content release documents from the target dataset.
- CLI: MCP auto-configuration now supports Antigravity, Cline CLI, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, and MCPorter.
- CLI: Fixed environment variable loading to include all variables from `.env` files, not just `SANITY_STUDIO_`/`SANITY_APP_` prefixed ones. Client bundle exposure remains restricted to prefixed variables only.
