When running the Payload admin panel on a machine with a slower CPU,
form state lags significantly and can become nearly unusable or even
crash when interacting with the document's `useAsTitle` field.
Here's an example:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3535fa99-1b31-4cb6-b6a8-5eb9a36b31b7
#### Why this happens
The reason for this is that entire React component trees are
re-rendering on every keystroke of the `useAsTitle` field, twice over.
Here's a breakdown of the flow:
1. First, we dispatch form state events to the form context. Only the
components that are subscribed to form state re-render when this happens
(good).
2. Then, we sync the `useAsTitle` field to the document info provider,
which lives outside the form. Regardless of whether its children need to
be aware of the document title, all components subscribed to the
document info context will re-render (there are many, including the form
itself).
Given how far up the rendering tree the document info provider is, its
rendering footprint, and the rate of speed at which these events are
dispatched, this is resource intensive.
#### What is the fix
The fix is to isolate the document's title into it's own context. This
way only the components that are subscribed to specifically this context
will re-render as the title changes.
Here's the same test with the same CPU throttling, but no lag:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c8ced9b1-b5f0-4789-8d00-a2523d833524
I couldn't find much information on the internet about
`__NEXT_PRIVATE_ORIGIN`, but I could observe that when port 3000 was
busy and 3001 was used, `NEXT_PUBLIC_SERVER_URL` was
`http://localhost:3000`, while `__NEXT_PRIVATE_ORIGIN` was
`http://localhost:3001`.
Fixes#12431
### What?
Basically an unnamed group moves all of its children to the same level
with the group. When another field at the same level has a unique access
setting, the permissions will return a json of permissions for each
fields at the same level instead of return a default `true` value. For
traditional group field, there will be a `fields` property inside the
permissions object, so it can use ```permissions={permissions === true ?
permissions : permissions?.fields``` as the attribution of
<RenderFields> in `packages/ui/src/fields/Group/index.tsx`. Right now,
since we somehow "promote" the group's children to the upper level,
which makes the `fields` property no longer exists in the `permissions`
object. Hence, the `permissions?.fields` mentioned above will always be
undefined, which will lead to return null for this field, because the
getFieldPermissions will always get read permission as undefined.
### Why?
The only reason we use `permissions : permissions?.fields` before
because the traditional group field moves all its children to a child
property `fields`. Since we somehow promoted those children to upper
level, so there is no need to access the fields property anymore.
### How?
For the permissions attribute for unnamed group's <RenderFields>, simple
pass in `permissions={permissions}` instead of `{permissions === true ?
permissions : permissions?.fields}`, since you have already gotten all
you want in permissions. No worry about the extra permission property
brought in(the access permission in the unnamed group level), because
`getFieldPermissions` will filter those redundant ones out.

Continuation of https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12185 and fix
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12221
The mentioned PR introduced auto sorting by the point field when a
`near` query is used, but it didn't build actual needed query to order
results by their distance to a _given_ (from the `near` query) point.
Now, we build:
```sql
order by pont_field <-> ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(lng, lat), 4326)
```
Which does what we want
Previously the value of new tab checkbox in the link feature was not
able to be set to true by default because we were passing `false` as a
default value.
This fixes that and adds test coverage for customising that link drawer.
This fixes issues identified in the predefined migration for
postgres v2-v3 including the following:
### relation already exists
Can error with the following:
```ts
{
err: [DatabaseError],
msg: 'Error running migration 20250502_020052_relationships_v2_v3 column "relation_id" of relation "table_name" already exists.'
}
```
This was happening when you run a migration with both a required
relationship or upload field and no schema specified in the db adapter.
When both of these are true the function that replaces `ADD COLUMN` and
`ALTER COLUMN` in order to add `NOT NULL` constraints for requried
fields, wasn't working. This resulted in the `ADD COLUMN` statement from
being being called multiple times instead of altering it after data had
been copied over.
### camelCase column change
Enum columns from using `select` or `radio` have changed from camelCase
to snake case in v3. This change was not accounted for in the
relationship migration and needed to be accounted for.
### DROP CONSTRAINT
It was pointed out by
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10162#issuecomment-2610018940)
that the `DROP CONSTRAINT` needs to include `IF EXISTS` so that it can
continue if the contraint was already removed in a previous statement.
fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10162
Fixes the issue where this returns all the documents:
```
{
name: 'post',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'posts',
filterOptions: { id: { in: [] } }
}
```
The issue isn't with the Local API but with how we send the query to the
REST API through `qs.stringify`. `qs.stringify({ id: { in: [] } }`
becomes `""`, so the server ignores the original query. I don't think
it's possible to encode empty arrays with this library
https://github.com/sindresorhus/query-string/issues/231, so I just made
sanitization to `{ exists: false }` for this case.
Previously, plugin-cloud would only set up job auto-running if a job configuration was present in the custom config at initialization time.
However, some jobs - such as the scheduled publish job which is added during sanitization - are added after plugin-cloud has initialized. This means relying solely on the initial state of the job config is insufficient for determining whether to enable auto-running.
This PR removes that check and ensures auto-running is always initialized, allowing later-added jobs to run as expected.
## Weakening type
This PR also weakens to `config.jobs.tasks` type and makes that property optional. It's totally permissible to only have workflows that define inline tasks, and to not have any static tasks defined in `config.jobs.tasks`. Thus it makes no sense to make that property required.
Optimizes the field sanitization process by removing duplicative deep
loops over the config. We were previously iterating over all fields of
each collection potentially multiple times in order validate field
configs, check reserved field names, etc. Now, we perform all necessary
sanitization within a single loop.
Prevents an accidental lockout of query preset documents. An "accidental
lockout" occurs when the user sets access control on a preset and
excludes themselves. This can happen in a variety of scenarios,
including:
- You select `specificUsers` without specifying yourself
- You select `specificRoles` without specifying a role that you are a
part of
- Etc.
#### How it works
To make this happen, we use a custom validation function that executes
access against the user's proposed changes. If those changes happen to
remove access for them, we throw a validation error and prevent that
change from ever taking place. This means that only a user with proper
access can remove another user from the preset. You cannot remove
yourself.
To do this, we create a temporary record in the database that we can
query against. We use transactions to ensure that the temporary record
is not persisted once our work is completed. Since not all Payload
projects have transactions enabled, we flag these temporary records with
the `isTemp` field.
Once created, we query the temp document to determine its permissions.
If any of the operations throw an error, this means the user can no
longer act on them, and we throw a validation error.
#### Alternative Approach
A previous approach that was explored was to add an `owner` field to the
presets collection. This way, the "owner" of the preset would be able to
completely bypass all access control, effectively eliminating the
possibility of a lockout event.
But this doesn't work for other users who may have update access. E.g.
they could still accidentally remove themselves from the read or update
operation, preventing them from accessing that preset after submitting
the form. We need a solution that works for all users, not just the
owner.
### What
This PR introduces a comprehensive customization system for toolbar
groups in the Lexical Rich Text Editor. It allows developers to override
not just the order, but virtually any aspect of toolbar components (such
as format, align, indent) through the `FixedToolbarFeature`
configuration. Customizable properties include order, icons, group type,
and more.
### Why
Previously, toolbar group configurations were hardcoded in their
respective components with no way to modify them without changing the
source code. This made it difficult for developers to:
1. Reorder toolbar components to match specific UX requirements
2. Replace icons with custom ones to maintain design consistency
3. Transform dropdown groups into button groups or vice versa
4. Apply other customizations needed for specific projects
This enhancement provides full flexibility for tailoring the rich text
editor interface while maintaining a clean and maintainable codebase.
### How
The implementation consists of three key parts:
1. **Enhanced the FixedToolbarFeature API**:
- Added a new `customGroups` property to `FixedToolbarFeatureProps` that
accepts a record mapping group keys to partial `ToolbarGroup` objects
- These partial objects can override any property of the default toolbar
group configuration
2. **Leveraged existing deep merge utility**:
- Used Payload's existing `deepMerge` utility to properly combine
default configurations with custom overrides
- This ensures that only specified properties are overridden while
preserving all other default behaviors
3. **Applied customizations in the sanitization process**:
- Updated the `sanitizeClientFeatures` function to identify and apply
custom group configurations
- Applied deep merging before the sorting process to ensure proper
ordering with customized configurations
- Maintained backward compatibility for users who don't need
customization
### Usage Example
```typescript
import { FixedToolbarFeature } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import { CustomIcon } from './icons/CustomIcon'
{
name: 'content',
type: 'richText',
admin: {
features: [
// Other features...
FixedToolbarFeature({
customGroups: {
'text': {
order: 10,
ChildComponent: CustomIcon,
},
'format': {
order: 15,
},
'add': {
type: 'buttons',
order: 20,
},
}
})
]
}
}
```

Threads the `overrideAccess` property through the field-level
validations. This way custom `validate` functions can be aware of its
value and adjust their logic accordingly.
See #12322 for an example use case.
Follow-up work to #12046, which was misnamed. It improved UI
responsiveness of the rich text field on CPU-limited clients, but didn't
actually reduce work by debouncing. It only improved scheduling.
Using `requestIdleCallback` lead to better scheduling of change event
handling in the rich text editor, but on CPU-starved clients, this leads
to a large backlog of unprocessed idle callbacks. Since idle callbacks
are called by the browser in submission order, the latest callback will
be processed last, potentially leading to large time delays between a
user typing, and the form state having been updated. An example: When a
user types "I", and the change events for the character "I" is scheduled
to happen in the next browser idle time, but then the user goes on to
type "love Payload", there will be 12 more callbacks scheduled. On a
slow system it's preferable if the browser right away only processes the
event that has the full editor state "I love Payload", instead of only
processing that after 11 other idle callbacks.
So this code change keeps track when requesting an idle callback and
cancels the previous one when a new change event with an updated editor
state occurs.
### What?
Turborepo fails to compile due to type error in the generated drizzle
schema.
### Why?
TypeScript may not include the module augmentation for
@payloadcms/db-postgres, especially in monorepo or isolated module
builds. This causes type errors during the compilation process of
turborepo project. Adding the type-only import guarantees that
TypeScript loads the relevant type definitions and augmentations,
resolving these errors.
### How?
This PR adds a type-only import statement to ensure TypeScript
recognizes the module augmentation for @payloadcms/db-postgres in the
generated drizzle schema from payload, and there is no runtime effect.

The official playwright extension when using the debug button to run
tests in debug mode doesn't pick up the `tests/test.env` file as
expected.
I've added the same `NODE_OPTIONS` to the vscode settings JSON for this
extension which fixes an error when running e2e tests in debug mode.
### What?
Allows the field value (if defined) to be accessed from `args` with
custom server components.
### Why?
Documentation states that the user can access `args.value` to get the
value of the field at time of render (if a value is defined) when using
a custom server component - however this isn't currently setup.

Link to docs
[here](https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/overview#default-props).
### How?
Passes the value from `data` if it exists (does not exist for all field
types) and adds `value` to the server component types as an optional
property.
Fixes#10389
The docs for Vercel Content Link only included instructions on how to
enable content source maps for the REST API. The Local API, although
supported, was lacking documentation.
Fixes sorting by fields in relationships, e.g `sort: "author.name"` when
using `draft: true`. The existing test that includes check with `draft:
true` was accidentally passing because it used to sort by the
relationship field itself.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12263
This was caused by passing not needed columns to the `SELECT DISTINCT`
query, which we execute in case if we have a filter / sort by a nested
field / relationship. Since the only columns that we need to pass to the
`SELECT DISTINCT` query are: ID and field(s) specified in `sort`, we now
filter the `selectFields` variable.
This PR does two things:
- Adds a new ` --no-experimental-strip-types` flag to the playwright
test env
- This is needed since 23.6.0 automatically enables this flag by default
and it breaks e2e tests
- Bumps the tooling config files to use node 23.11.0
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9449
Previously, search sync with categories didn't work and additionally
caused problems with Postgres. Additionally, ensures that when doing
synchronization, all the categories are populated, since we don't always
have populated data inside hooks.
### What?
Standardizes ESLint configurations across all template projects like
website template to ensure consistent code quality enforcement.
### Why?
Previously, there were inconsistencies in the ESLint configurations
between different template projects. Some templates were missing the
.next/ ignore pattern, which could lead to unnecessary linting of build
files. By standardizing these configurations, we ensure consistent code
quality standards and developer experience across all template projects.
### How?
Added the missing ignores: ['.next/'] configuration to templates that
were missing it
### What?
Swaps out `deepAssertEqual` for `dequal` package. Further details and
motivation in [this
discussion](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/12192).
### Why?
Dequal is about 100x faster in limited local testing. Dequal package
shows 3-5x speed over `deepAssertEqual` in benchmarks. Memory usage is
within acceptable levels.
### How?
Move the result of dequal to a `const` for readability. Replace the `try
{ ... } catch { ... }` with `if { ... } else { ... }` for minimum impact
and change.
### What?
Fixes#12171
### Why?
Previously, the ImageMedia component was not properly handling URL
formatting when a serverURL was configured in Payload. This caused
images to fail to load when using a custom serverURL. By extracting the
URL handling logic into a separate utility function, we ensure
consistent URL processing across both image and video components.
### How?
1. Created a new utility function getMediaUrl in
`src/utilities/getMediaUrl.ts` that:
- Properly checks for HTTP/HTTPS protocols
- Handles null or undefined URL values
- Supports cache tags to prevent caching issues
- Uses `getClientSideURL()` for relative paths
2. Updated the ImageMedia component to use this utility function instead
of inline URL processing logic
3. Updated the VideoMedia component to also use the same utility
function for consistency
### What?
If an error occurs while unpublishing a document in the edit view UI,
the toast which shows the error message now displays the actual message
which is sent from the server, if available.
### Why?
Only a generic error message was shown if an unpublish operation failed.
Some errors might be solvable by the user, so that there is value in
showing the actual, actionable error message instead of a generic one.
### How?
The server response is parsed for error message if an unpublish
operation fails and displayed in the toast, instead of the generic error
message.

Adds pre-signed URLs support file downloads with the S3 adapter. Can be
enabled per-collection:
```ts
s3Storage({
collections: {
media: { signedDownloads: true }, // or { signedDownloads: { expiresIn: 3600 }} for custom expiresIn (default 7200)
},
bucket: process.env.S3_BUCKET,
config: {
credentials: {
accessKeyId: process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: process.env.S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
},
endpoint: process.env.S3_ENDPOINT,
forcePathStyle: process.env.S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE === 'true',
region: process.env.S3_REGION,
},
}),
```
The main use case is when you care about the Payload access control (so
you don't want to use `disablePayloadAccessControl: true` but you don't
want your files to be served through Payload (which can affect
performance with large videos for example).
This feature instead generates a signed URL (after verifying the access
control) and redirects you directly to the S3 provider.
This is an addition to https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11382
which added pre-signed URLs for file uploads.
### What?
Extract text from the React node label in WhereBuilder
### Why?
If you have a nested field in filter options, the label would show
correctly, but the search will not work

React.node label

### What?
Tenant Selector doesn’t honor the custom order when ‘orderable’ is
enabled for Tenant collection
### Why?
Currently, it uses "useAsTitle" to sort. In some use cases, for example,
when a user manages multiple tenants that have an inherent priority
(such as usage frequency), sorting purely by the useAsTitle isn’t very
practical.
### How?
Get "orderable" config from the tenant collection's config, if it has
"orderable" set as true, it will use _order to sort. If not, it will use
"useAsTitle" to sort as default.
Fixes#12246

## Fix
We were able to narrow it down to this call
816fb28f55/packages/plugin-cloud-storage/src/utilities/getFilePrefix.ts (L26-L41)
Adding `draft: true` fixes the issue. It seems that the `prefix` can
only be found in a draft, and without `draft: true` those drafts aren't
searched.
### Issue reproduction
In the community folder, enable versioning for the media collection and
install the `s3storage` plugin (see Git patch). I use `minio` to have a
local S3 compatible backend and then I run the app with:
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minioadmin AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin
START_MEMORY_DB=true pnpm dev _community`.
Next, open the media collection and create a new entry. Then open that
entry, remove the file it currently has, and upload a new file. Save as
draft.
Now the media can no longer be accessed and the thumbnails are broken.
If you make an edit but save it by publishing the issue goes away. I
also couldn't reproduce this by adding a text field, changing that, and
saving the document as draft.

Exports a few utilities that are used internally to the login operation,
but could be helpful for others building plugins.
Specifically:
- `isUserLocked` - a check to ensure that a given user is not locked due
to too many invalid attempts
- `checkLoginPermissions` - checks to see that the user is not locked as
well as that it is properly verified, if applicable
- `jwtSign` - Payload's internal JWT signing approach
- `getFieldsToSign` - reduce down a document's fields for JWT creation
based on collection config settings
- `incrementLoginAttempts` / `resetLoginAttempts` - utilities to handle
both failed and successful login attempts
- `UnverifiedEmail` - an error that could be thrown if attempting to log
in to an account without prior successful email verification
### What?
Extends trigger of a reload of the fields for RelationshipFilter to
include `filterOptions`.
### Why?
If you have two or more relationship fields that have a relation to the
same collection, the options of the filter will not update.
### How
By extending dependencies of `useEffect`
### Code setup:
```
{
name: 'media',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'media',
filterOptions: () => {
return {
id: { in: ['67efaee24648d01dffceecf9'] },
