The ****Presentation**** tool shows the site next to the editor. Draft changes appear as you type, before you publish.

## Turn it on

1. Create a token with the **Viewer** role in sanity.io/manage → API → Tokens.
2. Add it to `apps/web/.env` as `NUXT_SANITY_API_READ_TOKEN`.
3. Restart the site and open Presentation in Studio.

Blocks can be reordered by dragging them in the preview, because every block carries a `data-sanity` attribute.

**Keep the token on the server**

The read token is only used by the Nuxt server. It is never sent to the browser.

Any Nuxt UI component can become a block. It takes a schema, one Vue component and one line in the registry.
