What’s new in August: inline tables, functions calling functions, and visual editing without React

Sanity’s August releases introduce six updates focused on expanding content editing, workflow architecture, migration support, AI integrations, and media management. Native tables in the Portable Text Editor now provide structured, schema-validatable, GROQ-queryable cells, reducing the need for third-party table plugins. Functions Invoke allows Sanity Functions to call one another directly, supporting composable workflows, parallel processing, privilege separation, and resource isolation while centralizing shared logic. A standalone visual editing package enables click-to-edit functionality for static and non-React sites, while a new agent skill provides guided, source-specific scaffolding for CMS migrations without fully automating the process. Sanity also added a ChatGPT app integration that supports natural-language document management, GROQ queries, and release operations, and Media Library video versioning now preserves earlier asset versions for rollback. The update also highlights Blackbook’s Claude-powered portfolio agent, which uses Sanity’s structured content and GROQ alongside a JSON-LD knowledge graph to keep its website, SEO data, and conversational interface synchronized.
