Sanity Docs: New mutation docs, user guides, section changes, changelog improvements, and more

This month we've added additional mutation documentation, reorganized our Functions and AI sections for easier navigation, and introduced quick start guides for content operators.

New and updated documentation

Mutation concepts

We’ve added a new collection of articles, and updated existing ones, to better explain how to mutate documents in your Sanity datasets.

Introduction to document mutations

Mutating documents with the Actions API

Document mutation patterns

Update HTTP reference docs

HTTP reference documentation now includes more links to usage guides where available, as well as more specific permission requirements.

New user guides for content operators

Our Content Ops team created quick start guides to help writers, editors, and other members of your content ops teams find their way in Studio and Media Library more easily.

Functions and AI documentation reorganized

We’ve split the old Compute and AI section up. Some articles have moved to other sections, but larger concepts now have their own space. The Functions section also includes updates to the quick start guide to be quicker and more agent-friendly, and we’ve added a guide specific to Media Library Asset Functions.

You may have seen Sanity’s announcements about MCP servers and Agent Toolkits. These, along with future features, now live in the Build with AI part of the docs. Keep an eye out for much more soon.

You can find these new sections in under the “Platform” menu in the top navigation. These changes should make finding what you need easier as these feature areas continue to grow.

New and updated developer guides

Developing on GitHub Codespaces (New): Eric Streske, Senior Solutions Architect at Sanity, added a new guide on how to run Sanity projects in GitHub Codespaces.

Create a recycling bin for deleted documents (Updated): Saskia Bobinska, Senior Support Engineer at Sanity, updated this popular guide to use Sanity Functions instead of webhooks.

New documentation features

Article-adjacent changelog updates

The changelog tab on documentation articles now shows a “new” badge if they are affected by any changelog entries in the last 30 days.

We’ve also improved the in-article changelog layout to better fit the article’s reduced screen space.

Agent-friendly Markdown paths

Previously you could add .md to articles, but now sections and changelog entries support Markdown URL variants.

Thanks to Matthew Ritter for the contribution.
