Dashboard at a glance

The Sanity Dashboard is the central hub for your organization's content operations. Here you'll find your deployed studios, custom apps, and official Sanity apps like Canvas and Media Library.

Shows the dashboard with the home screen active

Your dashboard is centered around your organization, and gives access to all deployed studios and apps within the organization, across projects and datasets.

What about the dashboard plugin?

Touring the dashboard interface

Your dashboard consists of the main area, which will adapt to the app you are currently working in, with sidebars on either side. We'll further separate each sidebar into their top and bottom groups, as shown in the image below.

Shows the dashboard with annotations from 1 to 5, where 1 is the main content area, and 2-5 are the sidebar sections listed clockwise from top left

1. Main content area

Unsurprisingly, the main content area takes up the lion's share of the screen real estate. This is where you'll be spending most of your time, after all. The main content area adapts to whatever app you're currently working in. Shown below is a studio active in the dashboard.

If there is no active app, this area defaults to show you links to your most likely destinations, as well as some nifty insights about your content.

2. Left sidebar – top

The top section in the left sidebar is where you'll switch between the apps and studios connected to your organization, as well as a menu to switch between different organizations if you belong to more than one.
