✨ Highlights

Presence cursors in the Portable Text Editor

Sanity Studio has always supported real-time collaboration, but you have yet to be able to see where others are working within the Portable Text Editor. By upgrading, you'll get a similar experience to Google Docs when editing block content.

This release also includes bug fixes for the Portable Text Editor:

  • The Portable Text Editor will now remove the invisible Stega-encoded characters if you copy-paste from a preview using Visual Editing
  • The cursor will not move out of viewpoint when deleting a character in PTE.
  • Creating an annotation at the bottom of a PTE will no longer scroll you to the top.
  • Fixes an issue where changing positions of items of an array within PTE would launch a cryptic error

Comments and Tasks are now out of beta

Comments and Tasks are now officially out of beta; hence, we have updated the configuration APIs. Both comments and tasks are enabled by default and for all document types.

Comments configuration migration

Configuration during beta:

// ./sanity.config.ts|js

export default defineConfig({
  // ... rest of config
  document: {
    unstable_comments: {
      enabled: false,
    },
  },
});

New configuration (remove unstable_):

// ./sanity.config.ts|js

export default defineConfig({
  // ... rest of config
  document: {
-   unstable_comments: {
+   comments: {
      enabled: false,
    },
  },
});

Tasks configuration migration

Configuration during beta:

// ./sanity.config.ts|js

export default defineConfig({
  // ... rest of config
  unstable_tasks: { enabled: false },
})

New configuration (remove unstable_):

// ./sanity.config.ts|js

export default defineConfig({
  // ... rest of config
- unstable_tasks: { enabled: false },
+ tasks: { enabled: false },
})
