Quick Start

A step-by-step guide to your first document management session.

1. Install & configure

If you haven't already, follow the Installation guide to add the plugin to your project.

2. Start your Studio

npx sanity dev

Open your Studio in the browser. You'll see a new "Document Manager" entry in the top navigation bar.

3. Browse your documents

Click the tool to open the Document Manager pane. The plugin automatically:

• Discovers all datasets in your project
• Loads documents from the first dataset
• Populates the type filter with every document type it finds

4. Search & filter

Use the Search field to find documents by title, name, ID, or type. Use the Type dropdown to scope to a specific document type. Toggle the Drafts checkbox to include or exclude unpublished documents.

5. Select & delete

Click rows or use checkboxes to select documents. The toolbar shows the selection count. Click Delete to remove the selected documents — you'll be prompted to confirm before anything is removed.

Deletes are atomic: either all selected documents are removed or none are. The status bar shows success or failure.

6. Switch datasets

Use the Dataset dropdown to switch to a different dataset. The table reloads automatically.
