Do you know how to use Sanity with Markdown?

Markdown works well in headless CMS platforms when content needs to be reusable across websites, apps, and multiple channels.

With Sanity, the preferred approach is usually Portable Text for rich content, but Markdown can still be useful for technical or documentation-focused pages.

Recommended methods

• Use Portable Text for flexible rich content and editorial workflows
• Use Markdown fields only where portability is more important than rich editing
• Keep Markdown content structured and avoid unnecessary embedded HTML
• Define clear content models so editors know when to use Markdown vs rich content blocks

Why this matters

This improves consistency and prevents content from becoming difficult to reuse across channels.

Technical recommendation

If Markdown is the main source of truth for your content, TinaCMS generally provides a cleaner workflow than adapting a block-based CMS for Markdown-heavy publishing.
