Skip to main content
Sanity Studio is the browser-based CMS that powers all content on the Capstone site. Editors create and publish pages, sponsors, projects, events, and global site settings from Studio, and those changes appear on the Astro front end at the next build (static mode) or immediately (Visual Editing preview mode).

​
Two workspaces

This project runs two Sanity workspaces inside a single Studio deployment, each backed by a different dataset:

Capstone Sponsors

Dataset: production
URL path: /capstone
Manages sponsor, project, event, and page content for the main YWCC Capstone site.

RWC Programs

Dataset: rwc
URL path: /rwc
Manages content for the Returning Women in Computing program, with per-site filtering (rwc-us / rwc-intl).
The workspace split is defined in studio/sanity.config.ts. Each workspace has its own desk structure, presentation preview origin, and schema template list.

​
