Understanding Your Site Structure

This page explains how your Marketplace site is organized in Sanity, and how the main pieces relate to each other.

The big picture

Your site is organized around a Project. The Project ties together:

• Your site-wide configuration
• Your navigation
• Your Locations
• Your Routes and Pages

Common documents you will see

Config and defaults

Config documents control site-wide behavior such as:

• Navigation defaults (which header or footer is used)
• Header options (for example location selector or search visibility)
• Footer options (meta links like Terms of Use and Privacy Policy)

Header and Footer navigation

Navigation documents define the links visitors see.

• Header navigation controls the top menu.
• Footer navigation controls the bottom menu.

Locations

Locations represent your physical dealership locations.

Locations often include structured information such as:

• Address and map details
• Department hours
• Phone numbers
• Policies and legal text

Routes, Pages, and Sections

Routes, Pages, and Sections work together to build what visitors see.

• Route: the URL (path) visitors go to
• Page: the ordered list of Sections that make up the content
• Section: a predefined content block (hero, rich text, locations list, and more)

A common flow looks like:

• Route → Page → Sections

Redirects

Redirects let you forward old URLs to new ones.

This is commonly used during a site launch or when URLs change.
