Publishing from Studio

The visual editor path — best for rich content, images, and copy-editing.

Sanity Studio is at ded-blog.sanity.studio. It’s the same content lake the CLI writes to, just with a UI.

When to use Studio

• You want to preview formatting as you write
• The post has a hero image, embedded images, or complex layout
• You’re doing a small edit or typo fix
• Someone else needs to edit content and shouldn’t have to install bun

Publishing a post

1. Open ded-blog.sanity.studio
2. Sign in (Sanity account with editor rights on the project)
3. Click Post in the left sidebar
4. Click the + button (top-right)
5. Fill out the fields (title, description, category, tags, body)
6. Click Publish (bottom-right)

The webhook fires. CI builds. The site updates in ~90 seconds. You can watch progress at github.com/asdtransport/ded-blog/actions.

Body editing

The body field is a portable-text editor with:

• Headings (H2, H3), blockquote
• Bold, italic, code, links
• Custom Code Block type with language + optional filename
• Image blocks (with hotspot + alt text)

Hero image

Every post supports one hero image (schema field heroImage). Upload from your machine or from Sanity’s asset library. The site renders it as a full-width banner above the title and uses it as the og:image for social/AI previews.

Recommended size: 1600×900 or larger, landscape orientation. Sanity’s CDN handles resizing and format conversion.

Drafts

Every document has a draft state. Toggle Draft on to keep it out of the published site. The site queries only non-draft documents at build time.

Editing existing posts

Click any post in the list to open it. Edit inline. Click Publish to push changes. The webhook fires the same way as a new post.

Deleting

Click the three-dot menu on a document → Delete. The webhook fires with delete trigger; the site rebuilds without that document. Deleted content stays in Sanity’s history and can be restored via the API for ~30 days.
