+# Include Attributes When Conditional Check Passes
+
+The graph-like nature of Sanity means that you'll often be querying for data
+that spans a variety of document types. For instance, your front-end could be
+requesting content in the shape of a blog post, video, and podcast. Though
+there are some similarities, each of these document types will have some unique
+attributes.
+
+When using GROQ to query for data that spans different types of documents, you
+can use [a conditional query
+syntax](https://www.sanity.io/docs/query-cheat-sheet#64a36d80be73) to include
+type-specific attributes.
+
+```groq
+*[_type == 'blog' || _type == 'video' || _type == 'podcast'][]{
+  title,
+  'slug': slug.current,
+  _type == 'blog' => {
+    body,
+    read_time
+  },
+  _type == 'video' => {
+    description,
+    mp4_url
+  },
+  _type == 'podcast' => {
+    description,
+    mp3_url
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Notice that there are some attributes that are common across each type (i.e.
+`title` and `slug`). Each type then has attributes unique to its document type
+(i.e. `blog` has `body` and `read_time`).
+
+This conditional query syntax allows us to both define flexible schemas in
+Sanity and then query against that flexible schema.
