In the past I’ve deployed a solution where Sanity lived inside a NextJS app, that was easy enough.

I’m now dealing with Sanity and NextJS living at the same level inside a top level folder like on https://github.com/SimeonGriggs/sanity-nextjs-preview

deploy your next app from the web folder, and the studio from the studio folder

in vercel, you need to specify that the

web

folder is your project root.
for sanity, navigate to your studio folder and run

sanity deploy

does it mean I need to have two separate repos in github then?

nope, you can have a single repo 🙂

github.com/selbekk/selbekk-io is my website, and a good example of doing stuff this way 🙂
