Introduction

sanity-plugin-document-manager adds a dedicated tool pane to Sanity Studio that lets you browse, search, filter, and bulk-delete documents across all your datasets.

Why?

Sanity Studio's built-in Structure tool is great for day-to-day editing, but it wasn't designed for operational tasks like finding orphaned documents, auditing content across datasets, or cleaning up drafts in bulk. This plugin fills that gap.

Key Capabilities

• Multi-dataset browsing — switch between production, staging, and development datasets from a single dropdown.
• Full-text search — filter by title, name, document ID, or type in real time.
• Type filtering with counts — see how many documents exist per type and drill into any one of them.
• Draft toggle — include or exclude draft documents to focus on published content.
• Bulk select & delete — pick documents with checkboxes and delete them in one atomic transaction.
• Paginated table — browse thousands of documents with configurable page sizes.

Quick Example

import { defineConfig } from 'sanity'
import { documentManager } from 'sanity-plugin-document-manager'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    documentManager(),
  ],
})

That's it. The plugin registers a "Document Manager" tool in your Studio navbar — no API keys or external services needed.
