Gain the technical know-how to successfully migrate content to Sanity, adapting to unique project needs and confidently handling transactions and mutations.

A developer guide to content migration covering idempotent scripts with incremental complexity and considered error handling.

Migrating is an opportunity not only to move your content to Sanity, but your content strategy to structured content.

Reusing existing values from your content source helps prevent duplicate data and optimistically set strong references.

While the Content Lake stores date time values for document operations, it may be better to write your own for editorial purposes.

Never trust your existing content source. Validate all data during a migration to avoid future headaches.

Sanity's API-first design allows you to write content – even in huge volumes – however you prefer. The CLI Migration tooling offers several conveniences that make it a great fit.

Effortlessly manage and transform high-resolution images with Sanity's asset pipeline, avoid unnecessary uploads, and optimize content migration with metadata and in-memory cache.

Convert HTML to presentation-agnostic Portable Text, even handling complex block content from WordPress' Gutenberg editor.

Confidently migrate content into Sanity, maintain SEO standing, manage redirects, and prevent broken links. Ensure visual consistency with automated testing.

You're now equipped to navigate content migration with a unique, well-documented strategy, adopting new technologies smoothly and predictably.
