Sanity CMS Migrations,
Done Right.
Content migrations, schema restructuring, and platform transitions — handled by a specialist who works in the Sanity ecosystem every day.
Why Migrations Need a Specialist
CMS migrations have more moving parts than they appear. Here's what's at stake.
- Data Integrity
- Migrations risk corrupting or losing content. Every document, reference, and asset is validated before, during, and after the move.
- Zero Downtime
- Your content operations don't stop for a migration. Careful planning and staged execution keep your team productive throughout.
- Schema Confidence
- Schema changes compound in complexity. A clear migration plan prevents drift, preserves editorial workflows, and avoids breaking your front end.

Migration Services
Every migration is different. Here are the areas I specialize in.
Content Migration
Move content between Sanity projects or from another CMS into Sanity. Document types, references, images, and files — all mapped, transformed, and validated.
- Cross-project data transfer
- CMS-to-Sanity imports
- Asset migration and rewriting
- Reference integrity checks
Schema Migration
Restructure and evolve your Sanity schemas without losing data. Rename fields, reshape documents, split or merge types — with scripts that are repeatable and auditable.
- Field renaming and reshaping
- Document type splitting/merging
- Portable Text transforms
- Repeatable migration scripts
Platform Migration
Moving to Sanity from another CMS, or consolidating multiple Sanity projects. Full-stack migration planning from content modeling through front-end integration.
- Legacy CMS to Sanity
- Multi-project consolidation
- Content model redesign
- Front-end integration support
How It Works
A structured process that keeps your team informed and in control.
Discovery
We start with a call to understand your current setup, content model, and goals. No commitment — just clarity on what the migration involves.
Migration Audit
I review your schemas, data, and integration points to produce a detailed migration plan — including scope, risks, and timeline.
Execution
The migration runs in stages with validation at each step. Scripts are repeatable, so nothing is a one-shot operation.
Verification & Handoff
Content is verified against the source, your team reviews the results, and I hand off documentation so you own the process going forward.
What the work looks like
Scripted, repeatable, and auditable.
Every migration runs through versioned scripts — not one-shot operations. Each change is reviewable, re-runnable against staging, and safe to roll back.
import { client } from "./sanity.client";
// Move legacy `authorName` into a structured `author` object
const posts = await client.fetch(
`*[_type == "post" && defined(authorName)]`
);
const tx = client.transaction();
for (const post of posts) {
tx.patch(post._id, (p) =>
p.set({ author: { name: post.authorName } })
.unset(["authorName"])
);
}
await tx.commit({ visibility: "async" }); Ready to Plan Your Migration?
