Accessing the Content Section

  2. Ensure all required fields are filled out.
  3. Fields that are not required can be safely left blank.

Adding Media

Section titled “Adding Media”

A few types of content will require you to add images or other media.

  1. You can Upload your files from your computer or select from existing media in the library.
  2. For images, do not upload anything larger than 1600px in width as it will deplete too much of your storage in Sanity.
