Releasing Document Actions: Workflows, Your Way

The latest release of Sanity Studio introduces three new concepts—Document actions, Document badges, and Studio React Hooks—designed to enhance workflow customization. These features enable users to create tailored workflows by implementing custom approval processes, asynchronous integrations, and additional form steps before publishing, while also allowing for common operations like publishing and validation through React hooks. Sanity's philosophy is to adapt to user needs rather than enforcing generic workflows, accommodating varying team sizes and content velocity requirements. A demo showcasing the new document actions API demonstrates how users can assign documents, manage review states in a kanban view, and utilize full document history for verification, highlighting the balance between trust and control in workflow management.
