Start free trialStep-by-Step Setup
Follow these four steps to connect your Sanity project and start creating courses
Create a Sanity Project
Set up a new Sanity project or use an existing one.
What to do:
- Go to sanity.io/manage and sign in
- Click 'Create new project'
- Enter a project name (e.g., 'My LMS Content')
- Choose 'Create empty project'
- Keep the default dataset name 'production'
Your Project ID appears on the project dashboard after creation — you'll need this for the connection step.
Install Content Schema
Add the LMS content structure to your Sanity project.
What to do:
- Contact your LMSMore administrator for schema installation
- Or use our automated schema installer if you have developer access
- Schema includes Course, Module, Lesson, and Assessment types
- Learning Paths and Certificates are also created
The schema creates all content types needed for courses — you don't need to configure anything manually.
Create an API Token
Generate a read-only token for secure content access.
What to do:
- Go to your project in sanity.io/manage
- Click 'API' in the left sidebar
- Navigate to the 'Tokens' tab
- Click 'Add API token'
- Name it 'LMS Read Access' and select 'Viewer' permission
- Copy the token immediately — it won't be shown again
Viewer permission only allows reading content. Your content cannot be modified through this token, keeping your data safe.
Connect in LMSMore
Link your Sanity project to LMSMore and start creating courses.
What to do:
- Log in to your LMSMore admin panel
- Navigate to Settings → CMS or go to /admin/cms
- Click 'Configure' on the Sanity card
- Enter your Project ID, Dataset, and API Token
- Click 'Test Connection' to verify
- If successful, click 'Save & Activate'
Your Studio URL is optional — add it if you've deployed a custom Sanity Studio for your team.
You're All Set!
Once connected, your Sanity content syncs in real-time with LMSMore. Start creating courses, assigning learners, and tracking progress immediately.

Quick Reference
| What You Need | Where to Find It |
|---|---|

| API Token | API → Tokens → Add API token (Viewer permission) |
| Studio URL | Your deployed studio subdomain (optional) |
Troubleshooting
"Connection failed" error
- Check your Project ID — copy it directly from your Sanity dashboard
- Verify your API token — tokens can't be viewed after creation; create a new one if unsure
- Check the dataset name — it's case-sensitive; usually 'production'
"Content not appearing" error
- Make sure your content is published, not just saved as a draft
- Check that you're using the correct dataset
- Verify the content types match what LMSMore expects
"CORS errors" error
- Go to your Sanity project settings
- Navigate to API → CORS origins
- Add your LMS domain (e.g., https://your-lms.com)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an existing Sanity project?
Yes! You'll just need to install the LMS content schema. Contact your LMSMore administrator to get started.
What permissions does the API token need?
Only Viewer (read-only). LMSMore never writes to your Sanity project — all content editing happens in Sanity Studio.
Can I edit content directly in LMSMore?
No, content editing happens in Sanity Studio. LMSMore only displays and delivers your learning content to learners.
How quickly do content changes appear?
Instantly! Published changes appear immediately — LMSMore doesn't cache content, so updates are live right away.
Can I use both Contentful and Sanity?
Yes, but only one can be active at a time. You can switch between them anytime, and your configuration for both is saved.
Do I need to deploy Sanity Studio?
Not required, but recommended for the best editing experience. You can use the hosted Studio at sanity.io or deploy your own.
