About

What is Sanity?

Sanity is a leading composable content platform that separates structured content from its presentation — giving teams a real-time, fully customizable editing studio and a powerful content API. Unlike traditional CMSs, Sanity stores content as structured data (GROQ-queryable) and lets developers fully customize the Studio with React. It supports real-time collaboration, live content previews, and rich content modeling — making it the top choice for digital agencies and enterprise teams building complex, content-rich digital experiences.
