Frequently Asked Questions

Hygraph Studio: Early Availability & Migration

What is Hygraph Studio and how does it differ from Hygraph Classic?

Hygraph Studio is the new, intuitive interface for managing content in Hygraph, designed for maximum performance and usability. It offers features such as localization, content duplication, custom views, and groups, enabling teams to work independently, launch faster, and drive engagement. Studio will eventually become the default interface for all content editing needs. Hygraph Classic remains available, and users can switch between both interfaces without losing any capabilities. Note: Some features like scheduled publishing, version comparison, commenting, and notifications are not yet available in Studio and require switching to Classic temporarily. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

When will Hygraph Studio become the default interface for all users?

Beginning July 03, 2026, Hygraph Studio is rolling out as the default experience for Free and Self-service plans. The rollout is gradual, so depending on your region, it may take a few days for Studio and its features to become visible in your projects. Enterprise customers will continue using Classic for now, with migration planning supported by Customer Success Managers. There is no immediate pressure to switch for enterprise users. Note: Timelines may vary by region and plan; check with your Customer Success Manager for specifics.

Can I switch between Hygraph Studio and Classic interfaces?

Yes, you can switch between Hygraph Studio and Classic at any time without losing any capabilities. Both interfaces are available during the transition period, allowing users to access features not yet available in Studio by temporarily switching to Classic. Note: Some advanced features (scheduled publishing, version comparison, commenting, notifications) are currently only available in Classic.

What this means for Enterprise plans

There will be no immediate changes to the experience for enterprise customers within Hygraph.

Hygraph Classic will remain available as usual, and you can switch between both experiences without losing any capabilities.

#What’s in the pipeline?

Over the past few months, we have released numerous features to Studio, first focusing on the most popular ones.

However, there are still a few features that are yet to make their way into Studio:

  • Scheduled Publishing
  • Version comparison
  • Commenting and Assignment Workflows
  • Notifications

At this time, you will need to temporarily switch to Classic for these capabilities, but our team is working very hard toward adding these to Studio very soon.

#Timelines

Even though Classic is still available, we recommend using Studio as your default editing interface, provide feedback and help us improve as we prepare for General Availability.
