### What?
Previously, the `admin.group` property on `collection` / `global`
configs allowed for a custom group and the `admin.hidden` property would
not only hide the entity from the nav sidebar / dashboard but also
disable its routes.
### Why?
There was not a simple way to hide an entity from the nav sidebar /
dashboard but still keep the entities routes.
### How?
Now - we've added the `false` type to the `admin.group` field to account
for this.
Passing `false` to `admin.group` will hide the entity from the sidebar
nav and dashboard but keep the routes available to navigate.
I.e
```
admin: {
group: false,
},
```
### What?
There are scenarios where the server-rendered HTML might intentionally
differ from the client-rendered DOM causing `Hydration` errors in the
DOM.
### How?
Added a new prop to the payload config `admin` object called
`suppressHydrationWarning` that allows control to display these warnings
or not.
If you set `suppressHydrationWarning` to `true`, React will not warn you
about mismatches in the attributes and the content of that element.
Defaults to `false` - so if there is a mismatch and this prop is not
defined in your config, the hydration errors will show.
```
admin: {
suppressHydrationWarning: true // will suppress the errors if there is a mismatch
}
```
Fixes#9830. Continuation of #9755 and #9746. Instead of automatically
appending TLDs to the `admin.preview` and the `livePreview.url` URLs, we
should instead ensure that `req` is passed through these functions, so
that you can have full control over the format of this URL without
Payload imposing any of its own formatting.
Adds documentation for the feature introduced with [plugin-search
collection reindexing](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/9391).
This also fixes an invalid scss import in one of the examples.

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.
In effort to keep the Examples Directory as easy to navigate as
possible, and to keep the Payload Monorepo only as verbose as it needs
to be, we need to remove all alternatives from the Examples Directory.
This includes setups that interact with Payload from a standalone
server, keeping only the Payload recommended "combined" Next.js +
Payload setups. This will also be applied to all other examples that use
this setup, i.e. draft preview, live preview, etc.
### What?
This PR fixes a variety of links around the docs.
### Why?
To link readers to the correct location in the docs
### How?
Changes and fixes to a number of doc links.
- Removes mention of custom providers needing to be client components
- Documents custom field `Filter` components
- Adjusts language and other misc. grammar and spelling
### What?
Fixes links for custom components in a few places in admin docs.
### Why?
To link users to the correct location in the docs.
### How?
Changes to `docs/admin/components.mdx` and
`docs/admin/customizing-css.mdx`
The Edit and Live Preview views were duplicately making the same Local
API requests for document data. This is because while the top-level
document view handler makes these requests _before_ rendering the Live
Preview view, it wasn't passing it's data through as props. This has
also led to inconsistencies in the options being passed through the
requests themselves, such as `locale`, `user`, and `overrideAccess:
false`. Everything is now standardized as expected through the existing
`getDocumentData` utility.
Custom field description functions were being duplicately called in both
the Client Config and form state. Static field descriptions were also
being rendered in form state unnecessarily. Now, field description
functions are only executed once within form state, and static
descriptions are deferred to the client for rendering.
Supports bi-directional import/export between MDX <=> Lexical. JSX will
be mapped to lexical blocks back and forth.
This will allow editing our mdx docs in payload while keeping mdx as the
source of truth

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()
```

### What?
I noticed a spelling error in the banner of the beta docs and decided I
could save everyone some time by *running the entirety of the beta docs*
through a spellchecker.
### Why?
To fix many spelling and formatting mistakes at once.
### How?
By enabling `edit mode` in my browser and letting the built-in
spellchecker perform its magic (and changing _only_ where it made
sense).
~~Ironically, the original spelling mistake that inspired me to do this
remains unchanged as that is a part of the website repo. [PR for that is
here](https://github.com/payloadcms/website/pull/388).~~
This PR aims to fix a few issues with the notFound page and custom views
so it matches v2 behaviour:
- Non authorised users should always be redirected to the login page
regardless if not found or valid URL
- Previously notFound would render for non users too potentially
exposing valid but protected routes and creating a confusing workflow as
the UI was being rendered as well
- Custom views are now public by default
- in our `admin` test suite, the `/admin/public-custom-view` is
accessible to non users but
`/admin/public-custom-view/protected-nested-view` is not unless the
checkbox is true in the Settings global, there's e2e coverage for this
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8716

All payload css is now encapsulated inside CSS layers under `@layer
payload-default`
Any custom css will now have the highest possible specificity.
We have also provided a new layer `@layer payload` if you want to use
layers and ensure that your styles are applied after payload.
To override existing styles in a way that the existing rules of
specificity would be respected you can use the default layer like so
```css
@layer payload-default {
// my styles within the payload specificity
}
```
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8534
UI fields are now excluded by default from the bulk edit view fields
options.
If you need to have the UI field there, you can provide:
```ts
admin: {
disableBulkEdit: false
}
```
This PR implements the ability to attempt to force the use of light/dark
theme in the admin panel. While I am a big advocate for the benefits
that dark mode can bring to UX, it does not always suit a clients
branding needs.
Open to discussion on whether we consider this a suitable feature for
the platform. Please feel free to add to this PR as needed.
TODO:
- [x] Implement tests (I'm open to guidance on this from the Payload
team as currently it doesn't look like it's possible to adjust the
payload config file on the fly - meaning it can't be easily placed in
the admin folder tests).

- Adds `overrideLock` flag to `update` & `delete` operations
- Instead of throwing an `APIError` (500) when trying to update / delete
a locked document - now throw a `Locked` (423) error status
## Description
Adds a new property to `collection` / `global` configs called
`lockDocuments`.
Set to `true` by default - the lock is automatically triggered when a
user begins editing a document within the Admin Panel and remains in
place until the user exits the editing view or the lock expires due to
inactivity.
Set to `false` to disable document locking entirely - i.e.
`lockDocuments: false`
You can pass an object to this property to configure the `duration` in
seconds, which defines how long the document remains locked without user
interaction. If no edits are made within the specified time (default:
300 seconds), the lock expires, allowing other users to edit / update or
delete the document.
```
lockDocuments: {
duration: 180, // 180 seconds or 3 minutes
}
```

## Description
### TL;DR:
It's currently not possible to render our field components from a server
component because their `field` prop is the original field config, not
the _client_ config which our components require. Currently, the `field`
prop passed into custom fields changes type depending on whether it's a
server or client component, leaving server components without any access
to the client field config or mechanism to acquire it.
This PR passes the client config to all server field components through
a new `clientField` prop. This allows the following in a server
component, which is very similar to how client field components
currently work:
Server component:
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import type { TextFieldServerComponent } from 'payload'
export const MyCustomServerField: TextFieldServerComponent = ({ clientField }) => {
return <TextField field={clientField} />
}
```
Client component:
```tsx
'use client'
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import type { TextFieldClientComponent } from 'payload'
export const MyCustomClientField: TextFieldClientComponent = ({ field }) => {
return <TextField field={field} />
}
```
### Full Background
If you have a custom field component, and it's a server component, there
is currently no way to pass the field prop into Payload's client-side
field components.
Here's an example of the problem:
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import type { TextFieldServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const MyServerComponent: TextFieldServerComponent = (props) => {
const { field } = props
return (
<TextField field={field} /> // This is not possible
)
}
```
The config needs to be transformed into a client config, however,
because of the sheer number of hard-to-find arguments that the
`createClientField` requires, we cannot use it in its raw form.
Here is another example of the problem:
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import { createClientField } from '@payloadcms/ui/utilities/createClientField'
import type { TextFieldServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const MyServerComponent: TextFieldServerComponent = ({ createClientField }) => {
const clientField = createClientField({...}) // Not a good option bc it requires many hard-to-find args
return (
<TextField field={clientField} />
)
}
```
Theoretically, we could preformat a `createFieldConfig` function so it
can simply be called without arguments:
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import type { TextFieldServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const MyServerComponent: TextFieldServerComponent = ({ createClientField }) => {
return <TextField field={createClientField()} />
}
```
But this means the field config would be evaluated twice unnecessarily,
including label functions, etc.
The right way to fix this is to simply pass the client config to server
components through a new `clientField` prop:
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import type { TextFieldServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const MyServerComponent: TextFieldServerComponent = ({ clientField }) => {
return <TextField field={clientField} />
}
```

## Description
Currently, there is no way of typing custom server field components.
This is because internally, all field components are client components,
and so these were never fully typed. For example, the docs currently
indicate for all custom fields to be typed in this way:
Old:
```tsx
export const MyClientTextFieldComponent: React.FC<TextFieldProps>
```
But if your component is a server component, you will never receive the
fully typed `field` prop, `payload` prop, etc. unless you've typed that
yourself using some of the underlying utilities. So to fix this, every
field now explicitly exports a type for each environment:
New:
- Client component:
```tsx
'use client'
export const MyClientTextFieldComponent: TextFieldClientComponent
```
- Server component:
```tsx
export const MyServerTextFieldComponent: TextFieldServerComponent
```
This pattern applies to every field type, where the field name is
prepended onto the component type.
```ts
import type {
TextFieldClientComponent,
TextFieldServerComponent,
TextFieldClientProps,
TextFieldServerProps,
TextareaFieldClientComponent,
TextareaFieldServerComponent,
TextareaFieldClientProps,
TextareaFieldServerProps,
// ...and so on for each field type
} from 'payload'
```
## BREAKING CHANGES
We are no longer exporting `TextFieldProps` etc. for each field type.
Instead, we now export props for each client/server environment
explicitly. If you were previously importing one of these types into
your custom component, simply change the import name to reflect your
environment.
Old:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldProps } from 'payload'
```
New:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldClientProps, TextFieldServerProps } from 'payload'
```

## Description
Closes#7784 by properly handling custom collection description
components via `admin.components.Description`. This component was
incorrectly added to the `admin.components.edit` key, and also was never
handled on the front-end. This was especially misleading because the
client-side config had a duplicative key in the proper position.
## Breaking Changes
This PR is only labeled as a breaking change because the key has changed
position within the config. If you were previously defining a custom
description component on a collection, simply move it into the correct
position:
Old:
```ts
{
admin: {
components: {
edit: {
Description: ''
}
}
}
}
```
New:
```ts
{
admin: {
components: {
Description: ''
}
}
}

## Description
Threads the field config to all "field subcomponents" through props,
i.e. field label, description, error, etc. This way, the field config
that controls any particular component is easily accessible and strongly
typed, i.e. `props.field.maxLength`. This is true for both server and
client components, whose server-side props are now also contextually
typed. This behavior was temporarily removed in #7474 due to bloating
HTML, but has since been resolved in #7620. This PR also makes
significant improvements to component types by exporting explicit types
for _every component of every field_, each with its own client/server
variation. Now, a custom component can look something like this:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldLabelServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const CustomLabel: TextFieldLabelServerComponent = (props) => {
return (
<div>{`The max length of this field is: ${props?.field?.maxLength}`}</div>
)
}
```
The following types are now available:
```ts
import type {
TextFieldClientComponent,
TextFieldServerComponent,
TextFieldLabelClientComponent,
TextFieldLabelServerComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionClientComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionServerComponent,
TextFieldErrorClientComponent,
TextFieldErrorServerComponent,
// ...and so one for each field
} from 'payload'
```
BREAKING CHANGES:
In order to strictly type these components, a few breaking changes have
been made _solely to type definitions_. This only effects you if you are
heavily using custom components.
Old
```ts
import type { ErrorComponent, LabelComponent, DescriptionComponent } from 'payload'
```
New:
```ts
import type {
FieldErrorClientComponent,
FieldErrorServerComponent,
FieldLabelClientComponent,
FieldLabelServerComponent,
FieldDescriptionClientComponent,
FieldDescriptionServerComponent,
// Note: these are the generic, underlying types of the more stricter types described above ^
// For example, you should use the type that is explicit for your particular field and environment
// i.e. `TextFieldLabelClientComponent` and not simply `FieldLabelClientComponent`
} from 'payload'

## Description
We've since lost the ability to override the document view at the
root-level. This was a feature that made it possible to override _the
entire document routing/view structure_, including the document
header/tabs and all nested routes within, i.e. the API route/view, the
Live Preview route/view, etc. This is distinct from the "default" edit
view, which _only_ targets the component rendered within the "edit" tab.
This regression was introduced when types were simplified down to better
support "component paths" here: #7620. The `default` key was incorrectly
used as the "root" view override. To continue to support stricter types
_and_ root view overrides, a new `root` key has been added to the
`views` config.
You were previously able to do this:
```tsx
import { MyComponent } from './MyComponent.js'
export const MyCollection = {
// ...
admin: {
views: {
Edit: MyComponent
}
}
}
```
This is now done like this:
```tsx
export const MyCollection = {
// ...
admin: {
views: {
edit: {
root: {
Component: './path-to-my-component.js'
}
}
}
}
}
```
Some of the documentation was also incorrect according to the new
component paths API.
