Sanity Studio

Sanity Studio is a real-time collaborative application for content creation. It's open-source and connects to the hosted Content Lake.

Sanity Studio was recently released in a new major version (v3). You can find migration guides from Studio v2 here.

You can quickly get up and running and define your schema types (content models) with plain-old JavaScript objects. From your definitions, Sanity Studio will autogenerate an editing environment that comes with a ton of features out of the box (document versioning, real-time collaboration, nested and connected content, conditional fields, initial form values, etc).

Sanity Studio also comes with a framework for customizing editing experiences that lets you do everything from defining custom form validation with JavaScript to building input components with React, and much more.

Core features

Configuration

Sanity Studio lets you quickly get up and running by configuring it with simple JavaScript or TypeScript. Because the configuration is in code, it lets you take advantage of developer tooling and less context switching in making an editing environment.

Customization

The Sanity Studio is built from the ground up with customization in mind. You can extend and personalize the studio with your own styling, custom input components, custom previews and leverage our powerful plugin system.

Block Content & Portable Text

We believe you should treat all your content as structured content, even your rich text and block content. Portable Text is a presentation-agnostic specification for block content that you can use with Sanity. It's designed to be efficient for real-time collaborative interfaces and makes it possible to annotate rich text with additional data structures recursively.

Tools

Tools are top-level views in the Sanity Studio application that you can access through its menu bar. Use built-in tools, like the Desk Tool (for content editors to browse and edit content) and the Vision Tool (to run GROQ queries on your content), or build your own to meet your content editor's needs.

Custom workflows

All content teams work differently. With Sanity Studio you can accommodate different workflows by customizing its desk structure (how documents and forms are organized), document actions, and more.
