Proofsource and Sanity: fixes that fit your content model
Connect Sanity with an Editor token and approved AI visibility fixes become documents of the type your site already renders as pages. Proofsource finds the project, dataset and document type for you, writes the body as Portable Text, publishes after your yes, checks it is live, and measures whether the AI engines start naming your brand.

Why we love Sanity
In the makers' own words, from their own pages. Proofsource builds on it, never around it.
A Studio you can make your own
Sanity Studio defines its schema as code, supports real-time collaboration and Visual Editing, and lets teams shape the whole editing experience with React.
From sanity.ioContent as structured data
Sanity's Content Lake stores and queries structured JSON with referential integrity, which makes content reusable across every channel.
From sanity.ioMade for developers and editors
Sanity treats content as data to power digital business at scale, so developers build any front end while editors keep a tool built for them.
From sanity.ioHow Proofsource uses Sanity
Publishes approved AI visibility fixes as Sanity documents your site already shows as pages, checks them live, and undoes them.
- Know
Find the question you lose
Proofsource sees that ChatGPT or Perplexity names a competitor, not you, when buyers ask a question your site never answers.
- Act
Draft the page that wins it
The draft is written from the pages AI already cites for that question, in your brand's voice, ready for your review.
- Ship
Create the document and publish
After your yes, Proofsource writes the body as Portable Text into a document your site already shows as a page, then checks it is live.
- Prove
Check whether AI noticed
Proofsource asks the same questions again on day 7, 14 and 28 and shows engine by engine whether the Sanity page is now named and cited.
Set up Sanity in 4 steps
Create an API token
In your Sanity project create an API token with the Editor role and copy it.
Add Sanity in Proofsource
Under Fixes, Publish it, choose Sanity and paste the token. Proofsource finds the project, the dataset and the document type your site renders.
Answer one question if needed
If several document types fit, Proofsource asks which one to use. Otherwise there is nothing more to fill in.
Preview, publish and undo
Open a drafted fix, read the preview and confirm. Undo removes the document from the same screen.

Questions about Proofsource and Sanity
What token does it need?
A Sanity API token with the Editor role. Proofsource uses it to find the project, dataset and document type and to create documents, and stores it encrypted.
How do I disconnect Sanity?
Remove the connection in Proofsource, or delete the token in your Sanity project, which stops it working at once.
What does Proofsource change when I connect Sanity?
Only what you approve. Proofsource creates one document of the type your site already renders, with the body as Portable Text, after you have seen the preview. It does not change your schema or other documents.
Can I undo a page Proofsource published?
Yes. Undo removes the document Proofsource created from your Sanity dataset, from the same Publish to screen.
What does Preview mean for the Sanity integration?
It means the Sanity publisher shows a Preview badge and is open to Pro plans and above. It publishes for real after your approval.
How do I know a Sanity page helped my AI visibility?
Proofsource asks the same buyer questions again on day 7, 14 and 28 after the page went live and shows, engine by engine, whether the AI engines now name or cite you, next to the starting point it recorded before you published.
Which AI engines does Proofsource check?
Up to 10 depending on your plan: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. The free scan and the trial run four of them.
