### 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.
### What?
Fixes the label for documents which were the current published document
but got unpublished in the version view.
### Why?
If the most recent published document was unpublished, it remained
displayed as "Currently published version" in the version list.
### How?
Checks whether the document has a currently published version instead of
only looking at the latest published version when determining the label
in the versions view.

This adds a new `showSaveDraftButton` option to the
`versions.drafts.autosave` config for collections and globals.
By default, the "Save as draft" button is hidden when autosave is
enabled. This new option allows the button to remain visible for manual
saves while autosave is active.
Also updates the admin UI logic to conditionally render the button when
this flag is set, and updates the documentation with an example usage.
Fixes an issue where an autosave being triggered would turn off the
ability to schedule a publish. This happened because we check against
`modified` on the form but with autosave modified is always true.
Now we make an exception for autosave enabled collections when checking
the modified state.
This PR adds a new `SchedulePublish` config type on our schedulePublish
configuration in versions from being just boolean.
Two new options are supported:
- `timeFormat` which controls the formatting of the time slots, allowing
users to change from a 12-hour clock to a 24-hour clock (default to 12
hour)
- `timeIntervals` which controls the generated time slots (default 5)
Example configuration:
```
versions: {
drafts: {
schedulePublish: {
timeFormat: 'HH:mm',
timeIntervals: 5,
},
},
},
```

### What?
This PR aims to deflake the `test/versions/e2e.spec.ts:925:5 › Versions
› Collections with draft validation › - with autosave - shows a prevent
leave alert when form is submitted but invalid` e2e test.
The issue seems to be that the `fill` call followed by a `page.reload`
sometimes conflicts with autosave which may cause the test to flake.
### Why?
To deflake this test in ci.
### How?
Adds a single `waitForAutoSaveToRunAndComplete` function call prior to
the last call to `page.reload`. In my testing, on my local machine,
adding the `waitForAutoSaveToRunAndComplete` function allows the test to
pass every time. Without this, the tests fails on my machine
consistently.
Fixes#11458
Some complex, nested fields were receiving incorrect field paths and
schema paths, leading to a `"Error: No client field found"` error.
This PR ensures field paths are calculated correctly, by matching it to
how they're calculated in payload hooks.
Consolidates all bulk edit related tests into a single, dedicated suite.
Currently, bulk edit tests are dispersed throughout the Admin > General
and the Versions test suites, which are considerably bloated for their
own purposes. This made them very hard to locate, mentally digest, and
add on new tests. Going forward, many more tests specifically for bulk
edit will need to be written. This gives us a simple, isolated place for
that.
With this change are also a few improvements to the tests themselves to
make them more predictable and efficient.
Implements a form state task queue. This will prevent onChange handlers
within the form component from processing unnecessarily often, sometimes
long after the user has stopped making changes. This leads to a
potentially huge number of network requests if those changes were made
slower than the debounce rate. This is especially noticeable on slow
networks.
Does so through a new `useQueue` hook. This hook maintains a stack of
events that need processing but only processes the final event to
arrive. Every time a new event is pushed to the stack, the currently
running process is aborted (if any), and that event becomes the next in
the queue. This results in a shocking reduction in the time it takes
between final change to form state and the final network response, from
~1.5 minutes to ~3 seconds (depending on the scenario, see below).
This likely fixes a number of existing open issues. I will link those
issues here once they are identified and verifiably fixed.
Before:
I'm typing slowly here to ensure my changes aren't debounce by the form.
There are a total of 60 characters typed, triggering 58 network requests
and taking around 1.5 minutes to complete after the final change was
made.

Here there are a total of 69 characters typed, triggering 11 network
requests and taking only about 3 seconds to complete after the final
change was made.

Previously, `db.updateVersion` had a mistake with using `transform({
operation: 'write' })` instead of `transform({ operation: 'read' })`
which led to improper DB data sanitization (like ObjectID -> string,
Date -> string) when calling `payload.update` with `autosave: true` when
some other autosave draft already exists. This fixes
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11542 additionally for this
case.
Maintains column state in the URL. This makes it possible to share
direct links to the list view in a specific column order or active
column state, similar to the behavior of filters. This also makes it
possible to change both the filters and columns in the same rendering
cycle, a requirement of the "list presets" feature being worked on here:
#11330.
For example:
```
?columns=%5B"title"%2C"content"%2C"-updatedAt"%2C"createdAt"%2C"id"%5D
```
The `-` prefix denotes that the column is inactive.
This strategy performs a single round trip to the server, ultimately
simplifying the table columns provider as it no longer needs to request
a newly rendered table for itself. Without this change, column state
would need to be replaced first, followed by a change to the filters.
This would make an unnecessary number of requests to the server and
briefly render the UI in a stale state.
This all happens behind an optimistic update, where the state of the
columns is immediately reflected in the UI while the request takes place
in the background.
Technically speaking, an additional database query in performed compared
to the old strategy, whereas before we'd send the data through the
request to avoid this. But this is a necessary tradeoff and doesn't have
huge performance implications. One could argue that this is actually a
good thing, as the data might have changed in the background which would
not have been reflected in the result otherwise.
Removes all unnecessary `page.waitForURL` methods within e2e tests.
These are unneeded when following a `page.goto` call because the
subsequent page load is already being awaited.
It is only a requirement when:
- Clicking a link and expecting navigation
- Expecting a redirect after a route change
- Waiting for a change in search params
Fixes
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11359#issuecomment-2678213414
The link element by using startTransitionRoute and manually calling
router.push would technically cause links to be clicked twice, by not
preventing default browser behaviour.
This caused a problem on clicking /create links as it hit the route
twice. Added a test making sure Create new doesn't lead to abnormally
increased document counts
Changes:
- Added `e.preventDefault()` in our Link element
- Added `preventDefault` as an optional prop to this element so that
people can handle it on their own if needed via a custom `onClick`
### What?
When you first edit a document and then open the Schedule publish
drawer, you can schedule publish changes but the current changes made to
the form won't be included.
### Why?
The UX does not make it clear that the changes you have in the form are
not actually going to be published.
### How?
Instead of allowing that we just disable the Schedule Publish drawer
toggler so that users are forced to save a draft first.
In addition to the above, this change also passes a defaultType so that
an already published document will default the radio type have
"Unpublish" selected.
There are nearly a dozen independent implementations of the same modal
spread throughout the admin panel and various plugins. These modals are
used to confirm or cancel an action, such as deleting a document, bulk
publishing, etc. Each of these instances is nearly identical, leading to
unnecessary development efforts when creating them, inconsistent UI, and
duplicative stylesheets.
Everything is now standardized behind a new `ConfirmationModal`
component. This modal comes with a standard API that is flexible enough
to replace nearly every instance. This component has also been exported
for reuse.
Here is a basic example of how to use it:
```tsx
'use client'
import { ConfirmationModal, useModal } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import React, { Fragment } from 'react'
const modalSlug = 'my-confirmation-modal'
export function MyComponent() {
const { openModal } = useModal()
return (
<Fragment>
<button
onClick={() => {
openModal(modalSlug)
}}
type="button"
>
Do something
</button>
<ConfirmationModal
heading="Are you sure?"
body="Confirm or cancel before proceeding."
modalSlug={modalSlug}
onConfirm={({ closeConfirmationModal, setConfirming }) => {
// do something
setConfirming(false)
closeConfirmationModal()
}}
/>
</Fragment>
)
}
```

This PR fixes a few weird behaviours when `validate: true` is set on drafts:
- when autosave is on and you submit an invalid form it would get stuck in an infinite loop
- PreventLeave would not trigger for submitted but invalid forms leading to potential data loss
Changes:
- Adds e2e tests for the above scenarios
- Adds a new `isValid` flag on the `Form` context provider to signal globally if the form is in a valid or invalid state
- Components like Autosave will manage this internally since it manages its own submission flow as well
- Adds PreventLeave to Autosave too for when form is invalid meaning data hasn't been actually saved so we want to prevent the user accidentally losing data by reloading or closing the page
The following tests have been added
This PR extends timezone support to scheduled publish UI and collection,
the timezone will be stored on the `input` JSON instead of the
`waitUntil` date field so that we avoid needing a schema migration for
SQL databases.
If a timezone is selected then the displayed date in the table will be
formatted for that timezone.
Timezones remain optional here as they can be deselected in which case
the date will behave as normal, rendering and formatting to the user's
local timezone.
For the backend logic that can be left untouched since the underlying
date values are stored in UTC the job runners will always handle this
relative time by default.
Todo:
- [x] add e2e to this drawer too to ensure that dates are rendered as
expected
### What?
If you had multiple operator constraints on a single field, the last one
defined would be the only one used.
Example:
```ts
where: {
id: {
in: [doc2.id],
not_in: [], // <-- only respected this operator constraint
},
}
```
and
```ts
where: {
id: {
not_in: [],
in: [doc2.id], // <-- only respected this operator constraint
},
}
```
They would yield different results.
### Why?
The results were not merged into an `$and` query inside parseParams.
### How?
Merges the results within an `$and` constraint.

`buildVersionFields` was adding `null` version fields to the version fields array. When RenderVersionFieldsToDiff tried to render those, it threw an error.
This PR ensures no `null` fields are added, as `RenderVersionFieldsToDiff` can't process them. That way, those fields are properly skipped, which is the intent of `modifiedOnly`
This PR moves the logic for rendering diff field components in the
version comparison view from the client to the server.
This allows us to expose more customization options to the server-side
Payload Config. For example, users can now pass their own diff
components for fields - even including RSCs.
This PR also cleans up the version view types
Implements the following from

- allow for customization of diff components
- more control over versions screens in general

## Description
Allows some fields to be collapsed in the version diff view. The fields
that can be collapsed are the ones which can also be collapsed in the
edit view, or that have visual grouping:
- `collapsible`
- `group`
- `array` (and their rows)
- `blocks` (and their rows)
- `tabs`
It also
- Fixes incorrect indentation of some fields
- Fixes the rendering of localized tabs in the diff view
- Fixes locale labels for the group field
- Adds a field change count to each collapsible diff (could imagine this
being used in other places)
- Brings the indentation gutter back to help visualize multiple nesting
levels
## Future improvements
- Persist collapsed state across page reloads (sessionStorage vs
preferences)

### What?
Previously, field error messages displayed in toast notifications used
the field path to reference fields that failed validation. This
path-based approach was necessary to distinguish between fields that
might share the same name when nested inside arrays, groups, rows, or
collapsible fields.
However, the human readability of these paths was lacking, especially
for unnamed fields like rows and collapsible fields. For example:
- A text field inside a row could display as: `_index-0.text`
- A text field nested within multiple arrays could display as:
`items.0.subArray.0.text`
These outputs are technically correct but not user-friendly.
### Why?
While the previous format was helpful for pinpointing the specific field
that caused the validation error, it could be more user-friendly and
clearer to read. The goal is to maintain the same level of accuracy
while improving the readability for both developers and content editors.
### How?
To improve readability, the following changes were made:
1. Use Field Labels Instead of Field Paths:
- The ValidationError component now uses the label prop from the field
config (if available) instead of the field’s name.
- If a label is provided, it will be used in the error message.
- If no label exists, it will fall back to the field’s name.
2. Remove _index from Paths for Unnamed Fields (In the validationError
component only):
- For unnamed fields like rows and collapsibles, the _index prefix is
now stripped from the output to make it cleaner.
- Instead of `_index-0.text`, it now outputs just `Text`.
3. Reformat the Error Path for Readability:
- The error message format has been improved to be more human-readable,
showing the field hierarchy in a structured way with array indices
converted to 1-based numbers.
#### Example transformation:
##### Before:
The following fields are invalid: `items.0.subArray.0.text`
##### After:
The following fields are invalid: `Items 1 > SubArray 1 > Text`
### What?
When a document gets deleted we are not cleaning up jobs that would fail
if the document doesn't exist. This change makes an extra call to the DB
to delete any incomplete jobs for the document.
### Why?
The jobs queue will error and retry needlessly unless these are purged.
### How?
Adds a call to delete jobs from the delete operation.
### What?
Allows a user to delete a scheduled publish event after it has been
added:
### Why?
Previously a user had no control over making changes once scheduled.
### How?
Extends the `scheduledPublishHandler` server action to accept a
`deleteID` for the event that should be removed and exposes this to the
user via the admin UI in a new column in the Upcoming Events table.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10436
Fixes an issue where drafts' updatedAt timestamp is not being updated.
We weren't updating the `versionData` to have the right timestamp in the
saveVersion operation when drafts were being updated.
Added e2e tests to make sure 'Last Modified' is always different in both
autosave and non-autosave drafts.
Improves the admin e2e test splitting by grouping them by type with
semantic names as opposed to numerically. This will provide much needed
clarity to exactly _where_ new admin tests should be written and help to
quickly distinguish the areas of failure within the CI overview.
Adds a feature to allow editors to schedule publish / unpublish events
in the future. Must be enabled by setting
`versions.drafts.schedulePublish: true` in your Collection / Global
configs.

Similar to #9746. When deploying to Vercel, preview deployment URLs are
dynamically generated. This breaks `admin.preview` within those
deployments because there is no mechanism by which we can detect and set
that URL within Payload. Although Vercel provides various environment
variables at our disposal, they provide no concrete identifier for
exactly which URL is being currently previewed (you can access the same
deployment from a number of different URLs).
The fix is to support relative `admin.preview` URLs, that way Payload
can prepend the application's top-level domain dynamically at
render-time in order to create a fully qualified URL. So when you visit
a Vercel preview deployment, for example, that deployment's unique URL
is used as the preview redirect, instead of the application's
root/production domain. Note: this does not fix multi-tenancy
single-domain setups, as those still require a static top-level domain
for each tenant.
What?
Fixes issue when on parallel writes in result you can have 0 latest:
true versions.
Why?
There must be always a version with latest: true
How?
Ensures that we always have a version with latest: true by adding a
filter on createdAt < createdVersion.createdAt.
Instead, this ponentially can lead to a situation where we have 2
versions with latest: true, if they were created at the exact same time,
but this shouldn't happen in a real world scenario and it's much less
problematic than not having a version with latest: true.

The version diff view at
`/admin/collections/:collection/:id/versions/:version` was not properly
displaying diffs for iterable fields, such as blocks. There were two
main things wrong here:
1. Fields not properly inheriting parent permissions based on the new
sanitized permissions pattern in #7335
1. The diff components were expecting `permissions` but receiving
`fieldPermissions`. This was not picked up by TS because of our use of
dynamic keys when choosing which component to render for that particular
field. We should change this in the future to use a switch case that
explicitly renders each diff component. This way props are strictly
typed.
Removes unnecessary `deepCopyObject(docPermissions)` in the Version View
which slows down loading speed.
The comment seems to be resolved, I'm not getting this error and here
for example in the same case
3c0e832a9a/packages/next/src/views/Document/index.tsx (L327)
we don't do deep copying.
Closes#9242 and #9365. Autosave-enabled documents rendered within a
drawer were not being properly handled. This was causing multiple draft
documents to be created upon opening the drawer, as well as an empty
document returned from the server function, etc.
Fixes#9337. The version view was not able to render its diff because of
an invalid permissions lookup. This was a result of a change to how
access results are returned from the API, which are now sanitized:
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/7335
Currently, Payload renders all custom components on initial compile of
the admin panel. This is problematic for two key reasons:
1. Custom components do not receive contextual data, i.e. fields do not
receive their field data, edit views do not receive their document data,
etc.
2. Components are unnecessarily rendered before they are used
This was initially required to support React Server Components within
the Payload Admin Panel for two key reasons:
1. Fields can be dynamically rendered within arrays, blocks, etc.
2. Documents can be recursively rendered within a "drawer" UI, i.e.
relationship fields
3. Payload supports server/client component composition
In order to achieve this, components need to be rendered on the server
and passed as "slots" to the client. Currently, the pattern for this is
to render custom server components in the "client config". Then when a
view or field is needed to be rendered, we first check the client config
for a "pre-rendered" component, otherwise render our client-side
fallback component.
But for the reasons listed above, this pattern doesn't exactly make
custom server components very useful within the Payload Admin Panel,
which is where this PR comes in. Now, instead of pre-rendering all
components on initial compile, we're able to render custom components
_on demand_, only as they are needed.
To achieve this, we've established [this
pattern](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8481) of React
Server Functions in the Payload Admin Panel. With Server Functions, we
can iterate the Payload Config and return JSX through React's
`text/x-component` content-type. This means we're able to pass
contextual props to custom components, such as data for fields and
views.
## Breaking Changes
1. Add the following to your root layout file, typically located at
`(app)/(payload)/layout.tsx`:
```diff
/* THIS FILE WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY PAYLOAD. */
/* DO NOT MODIFY IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE REWRITTEN AT ANY TIME. */
+ import type { ServerFunctionClient } from 'payload'
import config from '@payload-config'
import { RootLayout } from '@payloadcms/next/layouts'
import { handleServerFunctions } from '@payloadcms/next/utilities'
import React from 'react'
import { importMap } from './admin/importMap.js'
import './custom.scss'
type Args = {
children: React.ReactNode
}
+ const serverFunctions: ServerFunctionClient = async function (args) {
+ 'use server'
+ return handleServerFunctions({
+ ...args,
+ config,
+ importMap,
+ })
+ }
const Layout = ({ children }: Args) => (
<RootLayout
config={config}
importMap={importMap}
+ serverFunctions={serverFunctions}
>
{children}
</RootLayout>
)
export default Layout
```
2. If you were previously posting to the `/api/form-state` endpoint, it
no longer exists. Instead, you'll need to invoke the `form-state` Server
Function, which can be done through the _new_ `getFormState` utility:
```diff
- import { getFormState } from '@payloadcms/ui'
- const { state } = await getFormState({
- apiRoute: '',
- body: {
- // ...
- },
- serverURL: ''
- })
+ const { getFormState } = useServerFunctions()
+
+ const { state } = await getFormState({
+ // ...
+ })
```
## Breaking Changes
```diff
- useFieldProps()
- useCellProps()
```

This PR makes a more clear gap between `version_createdAt` /
`version_updatedAt` and `createdAt` / `updatedAt` columns / fields in
mongodb.
- `createdAt` - This should be a new value in a new version. Before this
change it was the same all the time. Should remain the same on autosave.
- The same for `updatedAt`, but it should be updated on every change
(including autosave)
- `version_createdAt` - Should remain equal to `createdAt` from the
parent collection / table
- `version_updatedAt` - On a latest version it makes sense this be the
same as `updatedAt` from the parent collection / table, as all the
`version_*` fields should be just synced with it
Fixes the issue where the published or changed document is always shown
as "Changed" instead of "Published" or "Draft"
Statuses:
- Published - when the current version is also the published version
- Changed - when the current version is a draft version but a published
version exists
- Draft - when the current version is a draft and no published versions
exist

This PR makes three major changes to the codebase:
1. [Component Paths](#component-paths)
Instead of importing custom components into your config directly, they
are now defined as file paths and rendered only when needed. That way
the Payload config will be significantly more lightweight, and ensures
that the Payload config is 100% server-only and Node-safe. Related
discussion: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/6938
2. [Client Config](#client-config)
Deprecates the component map by merging its logic into the client
config. The main goal of this change is for performance and
simplification. There was no need to deeply iterate over the Payload
config twice, once for the component map, and another for the client
config. Instead, we can do everything in the client config one time.
This has also dramatically simplified the client side prop drilling
through the UI library. Now, all components can share the same client
config which matches the exact shape of their Payload config (with the
exception of non-serializable props and mapped custom components).
3. [Custom client component are no longer
server-rendered](#custom-client-components-are-no-longer-server-rendered)
Previously, custom components would be server-rendered, no matter if
they are server or client components. Now, only server components are
rendered on the server. Client components are automatically detected,
and simply get passed through as `MappedComponent` to be rendered fully
client-side.
## Component Paths
Instead of importing custom components into your config directly, they
are now defined as file paths and rendered only when needed. That way
the Payload config will be significantly more lightweight, and ensures
that the Payload config is 100% server-only and Node-safe. Related
discussion: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/6938
In order to reference any custom components in the Payload config, you
now have to specify a string path to the component instead of importing
it.
Old:
```ts
import { MyComponent2} from './MyComponent2.js'
admin: {
components: {
Label: MyComponent2
},
},
```
New:
```ts
admin: {
components: {
Label: '/collections/Posts/MyComponent2.js#MyComponent2', // <= has to be a relative path based on a baseDir configured in the Payload config - NOT relative based on the importing file
},
},
```
### Local API within Next.js routes
Previously, if you used the Payload Local API within Next.js pages, all
the client-side modules are being added to the bundle for that specific
page, even if you only need server-side functionality.
This `/test` route, which uses the Payload local API, was previously 460
kb. It is now down to 91 kb and does not bundle the Payload client-side
admin panel anymore.

### Usage of the Payload Local API / config outside of Next.js
This will make it a lot easier to use the Payload config / local API in
other, server-side contexts. Previously, you might encounter errors due
to client files (like .scss files) not being allowed to be imported.
## Client Config
Deprecates the component map by merging its logic into the client
config. The main goal of this change is for performance and
simplification. There was no need to deeply iterate over the Payload
config twice, once for the component map, and another for the client
config. Instead, we can do everything in the client config one time.
This has also dramatically simplified the client side prop drilling
through the UI library. Now, all components can share the same client
config which matches the exact shape of their Payload config (with the
exception of non-serializable props and mapped custom components).
This is breaking change. The `useComponentMap` hook no longer exists,
and most component props have changed (for the better):
```ts
const { componentMap } = useComponentMap() // old
const { config } = useConfig() // new
```
The `useConfig` hook has also changed in shape, `config` is now a
property _within_ the context obj:
```ts
const config = useConfig() // old
const { config } = useConfig() // new
```
## Custom Client Components are no longer server rendered
Previously, custom components would be server-rendered, no matter if
they are server or client components. Now, only server components are
rendered on the server. Client components are automatically detected,
and simply get passed through as `MappedComponent` to be rendered fully
client-side.
The benefit of this change:
Custom client components can now receive props. Previously, the only way
for them to receive dynamic props from a parent client component was to
use hooks, e.g. `useFieldProps()`. Now, we do have the option of passing
in props to the custom components directly, if they are client
components. This will be simpler than having to look for the correct
hook.
This makes rendering them on the client a little bit more complex, as
you now have to check if that component is a server component (=>
already has been rendered) or a client component (=> not rendered yet,
has to be rendered here). However, this added complexity has been
alleviated through the easy-to-use `<RenderMappedComponent />` helper.
This helper now also handles rendering arrays of custom components (e.g.
beforeList, beforeLogin ...), which actually makes rendering custom
components easier in some cases.
## Misc improvements
This PR includes misc, breaking changes. For example, we previously
allowed unions between components and config object for the same
property. E.g. for the custom view property, you were allowed to pass in
a custom component or an object with other properties, alongside a
custom component.
Those union types are now gone. You can now either pass an object, or a
component. The previous `{ View: MyViewComponent}` is now `{ View: {
Component: MyViewComponent} }` or `{ View: { Default: { Component:
MyViewComponent} } }`.
This dramatically simplifies the way we read & process those properties,
especially in buildComponentMap. We can now simply check for the
existence of one specific property, which always has to be a component,
instead of running cursed runtime checks on a shared union property
which could contain a component, but could also contain functions or
objects.
