What's New - June 2025
Written by Evelina Wahlström
Ever seen content teams spend hours wrestling across disconnected tools, only to end up with a fragmented digital experience? This month, we're solving that problem with our Spring Release 2025: The Content Operating System.
It's our biggest release ever and is a result of thinking long and hard on how to enable developers to tailor how content works across your entire organization—backed by our recent $85M Series C funding round, which allows us to invest in improving Sanity as a platform and as a company further. (That's what the money is for).
In this update, you'll get a quick recap of of the new stuff in the Spring Release, some additional platform improvements we've shipped, and an exciting announcement: our first developer not-really-a-conference-maybe-more-like-a-festival in New York City, September 30th (with more details to follow soon).
I sat down with the engineers behind some cool features you'll want to try:
- The Content Operations Agent (private beta) with Rosti showing how it works like a helpful co-worker who knows your Studios inside out—ask it anything in natural language and watch it find, edit, and improve your content.
- Overlay plugins: (GitHub repository available now, with docs to follow shortly!) with James & Rupert demonstrating granular editing control right in Presentation.
Spring Release 2025: Your complete guide 🚀
On May 8th, we launched the Content Operating System with a bunch of new features and products.
Feeling a little overwhelmed? I get it.
It's a foundational shift of the platform and eight new products / features / tools is a lot to take in. Let me walk you through what each one does, then I'll show you the best way to get hands-on with what matters most to your projects.

Working for an agency?
Tom Smith, Senior Solution Engineer, has written a comprehensive guide for agencies navigating Spring 2025 organization changes. It covers when to create separate organizations for clients, project transfer processes, and billing considerations—essential reading as we shift to organization-centric features.
Content Operations Agent (Private beta)
What if you could get instant reviewing of your content - someone who systematically audits your documents, spots gaps, and suggests improvements without missing anything?
The Content Operations Agent works like a diligent co-worker. Think of it as having a content expert collaborating with you, catching things you might miss while you focus on the creative decisions (and still have full control over what and when to publish!).
Want a first look at what this looks like? I sat down with Rosti to see it in action.

The Agent relies on our recently released Sanity MCP Server and Agent Actions—it's all connected to give you this seamless content review experience.
What else we've been building
Beyond our major release, we've continued improving core platform features based on the latest changelog updates:
Save frequently used GROQ queries in Vision
Finding yourself running the same queries in Vision all the time? Maybe you have a "GROQ query" note somewhere that you have to copy-paste from? (I do!)
Well, no more!
Save your queries: You can now save frequently-used GROQ queries in Vision, making it much easier to iterate on complex queries during development.
Structure Builder divider improvements
Structure Builder's divider() method let you add visual dividers in a document list to "group" list items to make it easier to parse. Now, you can add a title and translations to the divider in the structure builder, making it even easier to organize and localize your document list experience:
