What is Hygraph Studio beta and how does it differ from Hygraph Classic?
Hygraph Studio beta is a new interface for Hygraph, designed to optimize content management workflows with improved UI and backend performance. Unlike Hygraph Classic, Studio beta introduces features such as Field Outline for easier navigation, Command Menu for quick access, revised Content Table, and UI facelifts. Hygraph Classic remains available and users can toggle between both interfaces. Note: Some features (Remote Fields, Localizations, Content duplication, Versioning, Scheduled Publishing, Webhooks, Project Settings) are not yet available in Studio beta and require Hygraph Classic. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What are the main UI improvements in Hygraph Studio beta?
Hygraph Studio beta introduces a Field Outline for easier navigation, a Command Menu (Command+K/CTRL+K) for quick access to project actions, a revised Content Table with hover cards for previewing fields, and overall UI facelifts that reduce visual noise and streamline workflows. These changes help editors work faster and more efficiently. Note: Contextual actions in Command Menu are not included in the beta and will be part of the final release.
What backend performance enhancements are included in Hygraph Studio beta?
Hygraph Studio beta features lazy loading of components for faster load times, especially with multiple or nested components. It also uses regional deployments of the management server, placing the management API in the same region as your content for improved disaster recovery and reduced latency. Pages load faster for schema updates, browsing content, and editing entries. Note: Performance enhancements are ongoing, with weekly updates planned during the beta phase.
Which features are not available in Hygraph Studio beta?
The following features are not available in Hygraph Studio beta and require Hygraph Classic: Remote Fields, Localizations, Content duplication, Versioning, Scheduled Publishing, Webhooks, and Project Settings. Hygraph Classic will remain available without changes until these features are added to Studio. Note: Timelines for feature parity are not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
How can I provide feedback on Hygraph Studio beta?
You can share your feedback by logging into your Hygraph project and testing the new interface. Feedback can be submitted via the Hygraph community Slack channel at hygraph-community.slack.com. Note: Feedback channels may change after the beta period.
Product Performance & Technical Requirements
How does Hygraph optimize for high performance and low latency?
Hygraph delivers high-performance endpoints optimized for low latency and high read-throughput content delivery.

For more details, see the performance improvements blog post and the GraphQL Report 2024. Note: Performance may vary based on project complexity and regional deployment.
What APIs does Hygraph offer?
Hygraph provides multiple APIs: GraphQL Content API for querying and manipulating content, Management API for project structure, Asset Upload API for uploading files, and MCP Server API for secure communication between AI assistants and Hygraph. For details, see the API Reference documentation. Note: API capabilities may differ between Hygraph Classic and Studio beta; check documentation for specifics.
Where can I find technical documentation for Hygraph Studio?
Technical documentation for Hygraph Studio is available at Studio Docs. Additional resources for APIs, schema components, integrations, and AI features can be found at Hygraph Documentation. Note: Documentation for Studio beta may be updated frequently during the beta phase.

Today, we are excited to announce a significant milestone in our journey: the new Hygraph Studio is live in beta! Unlock the full potential of your content with the new Hygraph interface designed for maximum performance.
You can now log in to your Hygraph project and test it out. The video below shows how to launch your existing projects in the Hygraph Studio.
Hygraph Studio beta highlights:
Hygraph Classic will remain available without any changes, and you can toggle between both interfaces.
#Overview of Hygraph Studio beta and what to expect
Optimized UI to help you work faster
Field Outline for easier navigation
You’ll now see a revamped content form when you open a content entry.
One of the most notable changes is the new Field Outline displayed to the left of this content form.
The Field Outline shows the structure of the content entry, and clicking on an item in the outline takes you to that field in the content form.
As an editor, this helps you:
Navigate intuitively: One of Hygraph’s capabilities is enabling you to build pages with reusable components independently. However, these pages can sometimes end up with complex structures. With the new Field outline, you can quickly visualize and navigate across a content entry regardless of its length or the number of nested components it has.
Make changes faster: Need to make changes on a page? Quickly find the fields you’re looking for, make updates, and publish without going through irrelevant information.
Quickly identify errors: Did you leave a field empty or enter information that violates field validation rules? You can now quickly identify these fields, fix the errors, and publish faster.
Simply hit Command+K (or CTRL+K on Windows) to open the new Command Menu, where you can search for and quickly navigate to different parts of your project.
You can also use it to perform various actions, such as creating a model or a content entry.
Contextual actions are not included in the beta and will be part of the final release.
We have redesigned the content table, simplifying it and making it less cluttered.
Moreover, the new hover cards give you the gist of the various fields within the content entries without opening them.
These improvements help editors quickly identify and find the entries they need to edit.
UI Facelifts
The new Studio also includes several UI improvements, which improve the overall look and feel and enable users to work faster.
Firstly, the Schema view includes changes in how you add a model and its fields.
The new changes reduce the number of clicks needed and enable users to create models and components much faster.
Secondly, the new content form is simplified, allowing editors to quickly find the fields they need to edit.
Lastly, we have reorganized how visual elements are placed and reduced overall noise. The result is a cleaner look that helps users quickly find what matters the most.
Designed for Maximum Performance
The new Hygraph Studio doesn’t stop with UI improvements — we also bring significant backend enhancements.
As a result, you will notice significantly faster performance than with Hygraph Classic.
We’re launching in beta, so we're consistently working on enhancing performance and will be rolling out updates to the Studio nearly every week to optimize for speed.
Here’s an overview of some of the enhancements made.
Lazy loading of components
You’ll experience faster load times when opening a content entry with multiple or nested components.
The load time improves because we’ve switched our approach and no longer render all the components instantly. Instead, we render individual components progressively as and when editors open and interact with them.
Regional deployments of the management server
The new Hygraph Studio uses the new regional deployments of the management server.
With the management API now located in the same region as your content, you’ll experience faster load times, improved disaster recovery, and reduced latency for management operations across all regions.
Pages load faster in Hygraph Studio, whether you are updating the schema, browsing through the content, or opening an individual entry to make edits.
Virtual Launch Event
Join our launch event for a detailed walkthrough of the new Hygraph Studio's capabilities and what they mean for developers, content creators, and your business.
#What hasn't yet made its way into Hygraph Studio beta?
We’ve launched Hygraph Studio in beta. So, some of the features available in the current interface (Hygraph Classic) will not be available in the beta until the final launch of Hygraph Studio.
To access these capabilities, please use Hygraph Classic, which will remain available without any changes.
Here’s a list of all the capabilities that are not available in the beta:
We will release the new Hygraph Studio across all regions later this year.
Meanwhile, we want to use this beta as an opportunity to gather your feedback and incorporate it into our plan for the final release of the Studio.
Hygraph Classic will remain available without any changes for months
With your help, we want to make Hygraph Studio better! Please participate in our beta, explore Hygraph Studio, and let us know your thoughts in our community Slack channel.
