Initiate a new Sanity Studio without installing the CLI globally:

npm create sanity@latest

To upgrade Sanity Studio, update its dependency:

npm install sanity@latest

This release includes support for Visual Editing and Content Source Maps. This feature enables you to make deep edit links from components in a front end that takes you to respective fields in the Studio. This enables a new workflow that substantially reduces the time it takes to make changes by bringing you directly to the relevant field where you can make edits reliably in its appropriate context. For more information on Visual Editing, check out the documentation here.

The sanity init command now recognizes if you are in a Next.js project, and will ask:

• What Sanity project you want to use (use existing or create new)
• Whether you want to place an embedded Studio using pages or app routes
• Whether you want to use TypeScript for your Studio
• What template you want to use (clean or blog)
• Whether you want to append the project ID and dataset to your .env file (you can also specify a custom env file with the --env flag)

If you have a Next.js project and want to quickly deploy an embedded Sanity Studio, you can run npx sanity init within your application's directory to get started.
