Issue with private dataset in NextJS and how to handle environment variables.

Hi everyone!
I’m having issues with a private dataset in NextJS.
I can see the studio content populating my site on localhost with a public dataset, but not when I turn it to private.

I have added a SANITY_API_READ_TOKEN in my .env.local

What am I missing?

👋 Your Next build won’t be able to pick up Sanity-specific env vars with that prefix. That method only works in a standalone Sanity instance. You shouldcheck out the Next documentation for how best to handle it.

I regenerated the token and it’s all good now!
