Getting Started

Directions are also found on the docs.

1. New repo

Clone or fork the template from the GitHub template.

2. Get a new Sanity project ID

From the Sanity.io Manage dashboard, create a new project from scratch (blank schema) with CLI.

3. Update environment variables

# .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL = ... # https://sanitypress.dev
NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID = ... # abcdefgh
NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET = ... # production
NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_TOKEN = ... # "Viewer" token from https://sanity.io/manage

4. Populate the Studio with your content

Open your new Sanity Studio (‌https://localhost:3000/admin) and publish the following documents:

1. a Site document with a title field.
2. a Page document with slug: index to use as the Home page.

For websites with a blog, additionally publish the following documents:

1. a Page document with slug: blog to use as the Blog listing page.
2. a Page document with slug: blog/* to use as the Blog post template page.

Optionally, you can publish the following documents:

• a Page document with slug: 404 to use as the Page not found page.

Import a demo dataset

You can run a CLI command to import demo content to get SanityPress up and running in seconds.

sanity dataset import sanity/demo.tar.gz

This will import a Site document and a Page document with slug: index, the minimum requirements for SanityPress to deploy successfully.

5. Set up deployments

Install either of the following plugins to add a widget to your Studio Dashboard:

• Vercel: sanity-plugin-dashboard-widget-vercel
• Netlify: sanity-plugin-dashboard-widget-netlify

6. Customize

Adjust frontend styles, edit/add Sanity schema and modules, and more.
