✨ Highlights

Visual Editing (Enterprise Only)

Note

Visual Editing is available for select Sanity enterprise customers. If you would like to use Visual Editing with Vercel, you will also need to contact Vercel to enable this feature for your Vercel team. You may contact our sales team for more information.

This release includes support for Visual Editing and Content Source Maps. This feature enables you to make deep edit links from components in a front end that takes you to respective fields in the Studio. This enables a new workflow that substantially reduces the time it takes to make changes by bringing you directly to the relevant field where you can make edits reliably in its appropriate context. For more information on Visual Editing, check out the documentation here.

Visual Editing is available for mutual Sanity and Vercel Enterprise customers. Existing Sanity enterprise customers can contact their dedicated customer success manager to enable this feature. Customers interested in upgrading to an enterprise plan can contact our sales team for more information. You will also need to contact Vercel sales to enable this feature for your Vercel team.

Sanity enterprise customers can also use the Content Source Maps with GROQ to build custom Visual Editing capabilities. For more information, check out the Content Source Maps documentation here.

Quickly add Sanity Studio to Next.js

The sanity init command now recognizes if you are in a Next.js project, and will ask:

• What Sanity project you want to use (use existing or create new)
• Whether you want to place an embedded Studio using pages or app routes
• Whether you want to use TypeScript for your Studio
• What template you want to use (clean or blog)
• Whether you want to append the project ID and dataset to your .env file (you can also specify a custom env file with the --env flag)

If you have a Next.js project and want to quickly deploy an embedded Sanity Studio, you can run npx sanity init within your application's directory to get started.

Minimum version when using pnpm required: 8.x
