-React hooks for creating Sanity applications.
+React hooks for creating Sanity applications. Live by default, optimistic updates, multi-project support.
+
+---
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Setup (2 min)
+
+```bash
+npx sanity@latest init --template app-quickstart
+cd your-app
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Opens at `https://www.sanity.io/welcome?dev=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3333`, proxied through Sanity Dashboard for auth.
+
+**Key files:**
+
+- `sanity.cli.ts` — configuration options used by the CLI — application metadata, deployment config, etc
+- `src/App.tsx` — Root with `<SanityApp>` provider and project configuration(s)
+- `src/ExampleComponent.tsx` — Your starting point
+
+### 2. Project configuration
+
+```tsx
+import {SanityApp, type SanityConfig} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+const config: SanityConfig[] = [
+  {projectId: 'abc123', dataset: 'production'},
+  {projectId: 'def456', dataset: 'production'}, // multi-project support
+]
+
+export function App() {
+  return (
+    <SanityApp config={config} fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
+      <YourApp />
+    </SanityApp>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Auth is automatic** — Dashboard injects an auth token via iframe. No custom login flow is needed for your application.

+## Guide
+
+### Document Handles
+
+Document handles are a core concept for apps built with the App SDK. Document handles are minimal pointers to documents. They consist of the following properties:
+
+```tsx
+type DocumentHandle = {
+  documentId: string
+  documentType: string
+  projectId?: string // optional if using the default projectId or inside a ResourceProvider
+  dataset?: string // optional if using the default dataset or inside a ResourceProvider
+}
+```
+
+**Best practice:** Fetch document handles first → pass them to child components → fetch individual document content from child components.
+
+---
+
+### Hook Reference
+
+#### Data Retrieval
+
+```tsx
+// Get a collection of document handles (structured for infinite scrolling)
+const {data, hasMore, loadMore, isPending, count} = useDocuments({
+  documentType: 'article',
+  batchSize: 20,
+  orderings: [{field: '_updatedAt', direction: 'desc'}],
+  filter: 'status == $status', // GROQ filter
+  params: {status: 'published'}, // Parameters used for the GROQ filter
+})
+
+// Get a collection of document handles (structured for paginated lists)
+const {data, currentPage, totalPages, nextPage, previousPage} = usePaginatedDocuments({
+  documentType: 'article',
+  pageSize: 10,
+})
+
+// Get content from a single document (live content, optimistic updates when used with useEditDocument)
+const {data: doc} = useDocument(handle)
+const {data: title} = useDocument({...handle, path: 'title'})
+
+// Get a projection for an individual document (live content, no optimistic updates)
+const {data} = useDocumentProjection({
+  ...handle,
+  projection: `{ title, "author": author->name, "imageUrl": image.asset->url }`,
+})
+
+// Use GROQ directly
+const {data} = useQuery({
+  query: `*[_type == "article" && featured == true][0...5]{ title, slug }`,
+})
+```
+
+#### Document Manipulation
+
+```tsx
+// Edit field (emits optimistic updates to useEditDocument listeners, creates a draft automatically)
+const editTitle = useEditDocument({...handle, path: 'title'})
+editTitle('New Title') // fires on every keystroke, debounced internally
+
+// Edit a nested path in a document
+const editAuthorName = useEditDocument({...handle, path: 'author.name'})
+
+// Document actions
+import {
+  useApplyDocumentActions,
+  createDocumentHandle,
+  publishDocument,
+  unpublishDocument,
+  deleteDocument,
+  createDocument,
+  discardDraft,
+} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+const apply = useApplyDocumentActions()
+
+// Single action
+await apply(publishDocument(handle))
+
+// Batch actions
+await apply([publishDocument(handle1), publishDocument(handle2), deleteDocument(handle3)])
+
+// Create new document with an optional initial content
+const newHandle = createDocumentHandle({
+  documentId: crypto.randomUUID(),
+  documentType: 'article',
+})
+await apply(createDocument(newHandle, {title: 'Untitled', status: 'draft'}))
+```
+
+#### Events & Permissions
+
+```tsx
+// Subscribe to document events
+useDocumentEvent({
+  ...handle,
+  onEvent: (event) => {
+    // event.type: 'documentEdited' | 'documentPublished' | 'documentDeleted' | ...
+    console.log(event.type, event.documentId)
+  },
+})
+
+// Check permissions
+const {data: canEdit} = useDocumentPermissions({
+  ...handle,
+  permission: 'update',
+})
+const {data: canPublish} = useDocumentPermissions({
+  ...handle,
+  permission: 'publish',
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+### Document Actions
+
+The `useApplyDocumentActions` hook is used to perform document lifecycle operations. Actions are created using helper functions and applied through the `apply` function.
+
+#### Available Action Creators
+
+| Function            | Description                                    |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `createDocument`    | Create a new document                          |
+| `publishDocument`   | Publish a draft (copy draft → published)       |
+| `unpublishDocument` | Unpublish (delete published, keep draft)       |
+| `deleteDocument`    | Delete document entirely (draft and published) |
+| `discardDraft`      | Discard draft changes, revert to published     |
+
+#### Creating Documents
+
+To create a document, you must:
+
+1. Generate your own document ID (using `crypto.randomUUID()`)
+2. Create a document handle with `createDocumentHandle`
+3. Apply the `createDocument` action using the document handle, along with optional initial content
+
+```tsx
+import {useApplyDocumentActions, createDocumentHandle, createDocument} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+function CreateArticleButton() {
+  const apply = useApplyDocumentActions()
+
+  const handleCreateArticle = () => {
+    const newId = crypto.randomUUID()
+    const handle = createDocumentHandle({
+      documentId: newId,
+      documentType: 'article',
+    })
+
+    apply(
+      createDocument(handle, {
+        title: 'New Article',
+        status: 'draft',
+        author: {_type: 'reference', _ref: 'author-123'},
+      }),
+    )
+
+    // Navigate to the new document
+    navigate(`/articles/${newId}`)
+  }
+
+  return <button onClick={handleCreateArticle}>Create Article</button>
+}
+```
+
+#### Publishing Documents
+
+```tsx
+import {useApplyDocumentActions, publishDocument, useDocument} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+function PublishButton({handle}: {handle: DocumentHandle}) {
+  const apply = useApplyDocumentActions()
+  const {data: doc} = useDocument(handle)
+
+  // Check if document has unpublished changes (is a draft)
+  const isDraft = doc?._id?.startsWith('drafts.')
+
+  return (
+    <button disabled={!isDraft} onClick={() => apply(publishDocument(handle))}>
+      Publish
+    </button>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+#### Deleting Documents
+
+```tsx
+import {useApplyDocumentActions, deleteDocument} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+function DeleteButton({handle}: {handle: DocumentHandle}) {
+  const apply = useApplyDocumentActions()
+
+  const handleDelete = () => {
+    if (confirm('Are you sure?')) {
+      apply(deleteDocument(handle))
+    }
+  }
+
+  return <button onClick={handleDelete}>Delete</button>
+}
+```
+
+#### Batch Operations
+
+Apply multiple actions as a single transaction:
+
+```tsx
+const apply = useApplyDocumentActions()
+
+// Create and immediately publish
+const newHandle = createDocumentHandle({
+  documentId: crypto.randomUUID(),
+  documentType: 'article',
+})
+
+apply([createDocument(newHandle, {title: 'Breaking News'}), publishDocument(newHandle)])
+
+// Publish multiple documents at once
+apply([publishDocument(handle1), publishDocument(handle2), publishDocument(handle3)])
+```
+
+---
+
+### Suspense Pattern
+
+All hooks that get or write data use React Suspense. Wrap all your components that fetch data with a Suspense boundary to avoid unnecessary re-renders:
+
+```tsx
+function App() {
+  return (
+    <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+      <ArticleList />
+    </Suspense>
+  )
+}
+
+function ArticleList() {
+  const {data: articles} = useDocuments({documentType: 'article'})
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {articles.map((handle) => (
+        {/* Wrap each list item in its own Suspense boundary to prevent full list re-renders when one item updates */}
+        <Suspense key={handle.documentId} fallback={<li>Loading...</li>}>
+          <ArticleItem handle={handle} />
+        </Suspense>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Draft/Published Model
+
+Sanity has two document states:
+
+- **Published:** `_id: "abc123"` — live, public
+- **Draft:** `_id: "drafts.abc123"` — working copy
+
+The SDK handles updating the document state automatically:
+
+- `useDocument()` returns draft if exists, else published
+- `useEditDocument()` creates draft on first edit (automatic)
+- `publishDocument()` copies draft → published, deletes draft
+- `discardDraft()` deletes draft, reverts to published
+
+---
+
+### Real-Time Behavior
+
+#### Live by Default
+
+- Document changes from other users appear instantly
+- No polling, uses Sanity's listener API
+- Optimistic updates for local edits appear before the server confirms the updates
+
+#### Re-render Triggers
+
+Any mutation to a subscribed document (even fields you don't display) will trigger a re-render. Use `useDocumentProjection()` for read-only displays to minimize re-renders.
+
+---
+
+### Multi-Project Access
+
+#### Specify Source in Handle
+
+```tsx
+const handle: DocumentHandle = {
+  documentId: 'xyz',
+  documentType: 'product',
+  projectId: 'project-a',
+  dataset: 'production',
+}
+```
+
+#### Use Resource Provider Context
+
+```tsx
+// App.tsx
+import {ResourceProvider} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+import {ProductCard} from './ProductCard'
+
+export function WrappedProductCard() {
+  return (
+    <ResourceProvider projectId="project-a" dataset="production">
+      <ProductCard productId="xyz" />
+    </ResourceProvider>
+  )
+}
+
+// ProductCard.tsx
+import {useProjectId, useDataset} from '@sanity/sdk-react'
+
+function ProductCard({productId}: {productId: string}) {
+  const projectId = useProjectId() // "project-a" from nearest configured ResourceProvider
+  const dataset = useDataset() // "production" from nearest configured ResourceProvider
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### TypeScript & TypeGen
+
+```bash
+# Generate types from your schema
+npx sanity typegen generate
+```
+
+```tsx
+import type {Article} from './sanity.types'
+
+const {data} = useDocument<Article>(handle)
+// data is typed as Article
+```
+
+---
+
+### Deployment
+
+```bash
+npx sanity deploy
+```
+
+Add the resulting app ID to the `deployment` section of your `sanity.config.ts` file: `{deployment: { appId: "appbc1234", ... } }`.
+
+App appears in Sanity Dashboard alongside Studios. Requires `sanity.sdk.applications.deploy` permission.
+
+---
+
+### UI Options
+
+SDK is headless. Common choices:
+
+```bash
+# Sanity UI (matches Studio aesthetic)
+npm install @sanity/ui @sanity/icons styled-components
+
+# Tailwind
+npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite
+```
+
+#### Tailwind Setup
+
+Tailwind requires a few extra steps since the App SDK uses Vite internally.
+
+1. **Install dependencies:**
+
+```bash
+npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite
+```
+
+2. **Configure the Vite plugin in `sanity.cli.ts`:**
+
+```ts
+import {defineCliConfig} from 'sanity/cli'
+
+export default defineCliConfig({
+  app: {
+    organizationId: 'your-org-id',
+    entry: './src/App.tsx',
+  },
+  vite: async (viteConfig) => {
+    const {default: tailwindcss} = await import('@tailwindcss/vite')
+    return {
+      ...viteConfig,
+      plugins: [...viteConfig.plugins, tailwindcss()],
+    }
+  },
+})
+```
+
+3. **Import Tailwind in your CSS (e.g., `src/App.css`):**
+
+```css
+@import 'tailwindcss';
+```
+
+4. **Import the CSS in your app:**
+
+```tsx
+// src/App.tsx
+import './App.css'
+```
+
+Now you can use Tailwind classes in your components.
+
+#### Portable Text Editor
+
+Use `@portabletext/plugin-sdk-value` to connect a Portable Text Editor with a Sanity document field. It provides two-way sync, real-time collaboration, and optimistic updates.
+
+1. **Install dependencies:**
+
+```bash
+npm install @portabletext/editor @portabletext/plugin-sdk-value
+```
+
+2. **Use in a component:**
+
+```tsx
+import {defineSchema, EditorProvider, PortableTextEditable} from '@portabletext/editor'
+import {SDKValuePlugin} from '@portabletext/plugin-sdk-value'
+
+function MyEditor({documentId}: {documentId: string}) {
+  return (
+    <EditorProvider initialConfig={{schemaDefinition: defineSchema({})}}>
+      <PortableTextEditable />
+      <SDKValuePlugin documentId={documentId} documentType="article" path="content" />
+    </EditorProvider>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+##### SDKValuePlugin Props
+
+| Prop           | Type                | Description                               |
+| -------------- | ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `documentId`   | `string`            | The document ID                           |
+| `documentType` | `string`            | The document type                         |
+| `path`         | `string`            | JSONMatch path to the Portable Text field |
+| `dataset`      | `string` (optional) | Dataset name if different from default    |
+| `projectId`    | `string` (optional) | Project ID if different from default      |
+
+**The plugin handles:**
+
+- Two-way sync between editor and document
+- Real-time updates from other users
+- Optimistic updates for smooth UX
+
+---
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+#### Editable List Item
+
+```tsx
+function EditableTitle({handle}: {handle: DocumentHandle}) {
+  const {data: title} = useDocument({...handle, path: 'title'})
+  const editTitle = useEditDocument({...handle, path: 'title'})
+
+  return <input value={title ?? ''} onChange={(e) => editTitle(e.target.value)} />
+}
+```
+
+#### Publish Button with Permission Check
+
+```tsx
+function PublishButton({handle}: {handle: DocumentHandle}) {
+  const {data: canPublish} = useDocumentPermissions({
+    ...handle,
+    permission: 'publish',
+  })
+  const apply = useApplyDocumentActions()
+
+  if (!canPublish) return null
+
+  return <button onClick={() => apply(publishDocument(handle))}>Publish</button>
+}
+```
+
+#### Document Status Indicator
+
+```tsx
+function DocStatus({handle}: {handle: DocumentHandle}) {
+  const {data: published} = useDocumentProjection({
+    documentId: handle.documentId, // without drafts. prefix
+    documentType: handle.documentType,
+    projection: '{ _updatedAt }',
+  })
+
+  const {data: draft} = useDocumentProjection({
+    documentId: `drafts.${handle.documentId}`,
+    documentType: handle.documentType,
+    projection: '{ _updatedAt }',
+  })
+
+  if (draft && published) return <span>Modified</span>
+  if (draft) return <span>Draft</span>
+  if (published) return <span>Published</span>
+  return <span>New</span>
+}
+```
+
