Hygraph Studio beta is a new interface for Hygraph designed for maximum performance and improved user experience. It introduces a revamped UI, faster backend performance, and new features such as Field Outline navigation, Command Menu, and a simplified content table. The beta allows users to test the new interface and provide feedback before the final release. For more details, see the official announcement (March 19, 2024).
You can access Hygraph Studio beta by logging into your Hygraph account and launching your existing projects in the new Studio interface. You can toggle between Hygraph Studio beta and Hygraph Classic at any time. For direct access, visit Hygraph Studio.
Key features of Hygraph Studio beta include:
Hygraph Studio beta delivers significantly faster performance compared to Hygraph Classic. Improvements include lazy loading of components (which speeds up loading content entries with many or nested components) and regional deployments of the management server (reducing latency and improving disaster recovery). Pages load faster whether updating schemas, browsing content, or editing entries. For more details, see the official announcement.
Some features available in Hygraph Classic are not yet present in the Studio beta. These include: Remote Fields, Localizations, Content duplication, Versioning, Scheduled Publishing, Webhooks, and Project Settings. To access these capabilities, continue using Hygraph Classic, which will remain available without changes until the final Studio release. Source: Hygraph Studio beta announcement.

on Mar 19, 2024Today, 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:
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:
Read our documentation for more details
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.
Read our documentation for more details
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
