Structuring documents and categories in Sanity.io

So I struggle with structuring my documents. I have tags that are categorised. I want to be able to create a category and within that category I want to create tags in sanity.
this is how far I got. I tried to use filter in deskStructure. But then I wasn't able to create more categories.

I am not sure what should be my approach here. Any ideas or tips?
😅

Hello The problem you’re seeing, is because you try to define the structure within a document.
*These are separate in Sanity*: one is the

schemas

, where you define your

documents

and

objects

, one is your structure in the

desk

, which is done with the Structure-Builder API
These 2 guides could help you setup a

desk structure

you want to get working:•
https://www.sanity.io/docs/structure-builder-introduction •
https://www.sanity.io/guides/getting-started-with-structure-builder In addition: *think of nesting documents as referencing each other*: so setting up
references should be your way to go in your schemas!
I am unsure, which relations your categories, tags and other docs will have, but maybe set those up first with the help of the explanations from above.
After setting up your custom desk structure, you can then use
initialValueTemplates in the desk structure to pre-define, which references the newly created tags/categories will have.
But first: get accustomed to

references

(and

arrays

of references) and decide which logic they will follow and then take the next step of setting up a custom

desk structure

. Then adding

initalValueTemplates

and voila 😉

Thanks! We actually dropped that structure that I showed here and went for references. This is very helpful. I will look it this further :smiling-sun:

If you drop stuff, can you please mark your questions as resolved by adding ✅ to the message, I am alone atm and have spent quite a lot of time with your stuff which you no longer need.

Sorry I will do that next time. 🙏

Don't worry we all forget things especially when we are stressed because things don't work. 😊 So we remind people.
