### What?
Supersedes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11490.
Refactors imports of `formatAdminURL` to import from `payload/shared`
instead of `@payloadcms/ui/shared`. The ui package now imports and
re-exports the function to prevent this from being a breaking change.
### Why?
This makes it easier for other packages/plugins to consume the
`formatAdminURL` function instead of needing to implement their own or
rely on the ui package for the utility.
Previously, collections with similar names (e.g., `uploads` and
`uploads-poly`) both appeared active when viewing either collection.
This was due to `pathname.startsWith(href)`, which caused partial
matches.
This update refines the `isActive` logic to prevent partial matches.
This fixes an issue where the active collection nav item was
non-clickable inside documents. Now, it remains clickable when viewing a
document, allowing users to return to the list view from the nav items
in the sidebar.
The active state indicator still appears in both cases.
When visiting a collection's list view, the nav item corresponding to
that collection correctly appears in an active state, but is still
rendered as an anchor tag. This makes it possible to reload the current
page by simply clicking the link, which is a problem because this
performs an unnecessary server roundtrip. This is especially apparent
when search params exist in the current URL, as the href on the link
does not.
Unrelated: also cleans up leftover code that was missed in this PR:
#11155
Previously, we were calling `getNavPrefs` (a payload.find call) three times for every single page load.
This PR:
1. Ensures that `getNavPrefs` is called only once per page load, reducing two unnecessary `payload.find` calls every time a page is loaded or navigated to.
2. Adds `pagination: false` to the `payload.find` call, making it more efficient and improving performance.
## How?
We were using React's cache to ensure that navigation preferences (`getNavPrefs`) were fetched only once per request. However, this wasn't working as expected because the first argument of `getNavPrefs` was an object. Each time it was called, a new object reference was passed, preventing React from caching it properly.
To fix this, this PR ensures that only primitive values are used as arguments for caching, following best practices and making the cache function work as intended.
It is currently very difficult to build custom edit and list views or
inject custom components into these views because these views and
components are not explicitly typed. Instances of these components were
not fully type safe as well, i.e. when rendering them via
`RenderServerComponent`, there was little to no type-checking in most
cases.
There is now a 1:1 type match for all views and view components and they
now receive type-checking at render time.
The following types have been newly added and/or improved:
List View:
- `ListViewClientProps`
- `ListViewServerProps`
- `BeforeListClientProps`
- `BeforeListServerProps`
- `BeforeListTableClientProps`
- `BeforeListTableServerProps`
- `AfterListClientProps`
- `AfterListServerProps`
- `AfterListTableClientProps`
- `AfterListTableServerProps`
- `ListViewSlotSharedClientProps`
Document View:
- `DocumentViewClientProps`
- `DocumentViewServerProps`
- `SaveButtonClientProps`
- `SaveButtonServerProps`
- `SaveDraftButtonClientProps`
- `SaveDraftButtonServerProps`
- `PublishButtonClientProps`
- `PublishButtonServerProps`
- `PreviewButtonClientProps`
- `PreviewButtonServerProps`
Root View:
- `AdminViewClientProps`
- `AdminViewServerProps`
General:
- `ViewDescriptionClientProps`
- `ViewDescriptionServerProps`
A few other changes were made in a non-breaking way:
- `Column` is now exported from `payload`
- `ListPreferences` is now exported from `payload`
- `ListViewSlots` is now exported from `payload`
- `ListViewClientProps` is now exported from `payload`
- `AdminViewProps` is now an alias of `AdminViewServerProps` (listed
above)
- `ClientSideEditViewProps` is now an alias of `DocumentViewClientProps`
(listed above)
- `ServerSideEditViewProps` is now an alias of `DocumentViewServerProps`
(listed above)
- `ListComponentClientProps` is now an alias of `ListViewClientProps`
(listed above)
- `ListComponentServerProps` is now an alias of `ListViewServerProps`
(listed above)
- `CustomSaveButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is only
relevant to the config (see correct type above)
- `CustomSaveDraftButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is
only relevant to the config (see correct type above)
- `CustomPublishButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is only
relevant to the config (see correct type above)
- `CustomPreviewButton` is now marked as deprecated because this is only
relevant to the config (see correct type above)
This PR _does not_ apply these changes to _root_ components, i.e.
`afterNavLinks`. Those will come in a future PR.
Related: #10987.
This PR fixes an issue where padding around the `DocumentHeader`
component disappears at the `mid-break` viewport size.
The issue was caused by .doc-header applying padding-left: 0 and
padding-right: 0, which overrode the intended padding from the parent
Gutter component in certain scenarios.
Deprecates all cases where `Link` could be sent as a prop. This was a
relic from the past, where we attempted to make our UI library
router-agnostic. This was a pipe dream and created more problems than it
solved, for example the logout button was missing this prop, causing it
to render an anchor tag and perform a hard navigation (caught in #9275).
Does so in a non-breaking way, where these props are now optional and
simply unused, as opposed to removing them outright.
Due to nature of server-side rendering, navigation within the admin
panel can lead to slow page response times. This can lead to the feeling
of an unresponsive app after clicking a link, for example, where the
page remains in a stale state while the server is processing. This is
especially noticeable on slow networks when navigating to data heavy or
process intensive pages.
To alleviate the bad UX that this causes, the user needs immediate
visual indication that _something_ is taking place. This PR renders a
progress bar in the admin panel which is immediately displayed when a
user clicks a link, and incrementally grows in size until the new route
has loaded in.
Inspired by https://github.com/vercel/react-transition-progress.
Old:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1820dad1-3aea-417f-a61d-52244b12dc8d
New:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99f4bb82-61d9-4a4c-9bdf-9e379bbafd31
To tie into the progress bar, you'll need to use Payload's new `Link`
component instead of the one provided by Next.js:
```diff
- import { Link } from 'next/link'
+ import { Link } from '@payloadcms/ui'
```
Here's an example:
```tsx
import { Link } from '@payloadcms/ui'
const MyComponent = () => {
return (
<Link href="/somewhere">
Go Somewhere
</Link>
)
}
```
In order to trigger route transitions for a direct router event such as
`router.push`, you'll need to wrap your function calls with the
`startRouteTransition` method provided by the `useRouteTransition` hook.
```ts
'use client'
import React, { useCallback } from 'react'
import { useTransition } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const router = useRouter()
const { startRouteTransition } = useRouteTransition()
const redirectSomewhere = useCallback(() => {
startRouteTransition(() => router.push('/somewhere'))
}, [startRouteTransition, router])
// ...
}
```
In the future [Next.js might provide native support for
this](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/41934#discussioncomment-12077414),
and if it does, this implementation can likely be simplified.
Of course there are other ways of achieving this, such as with
[Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense), but they all
come with a different set of caveats. For example with Suspense, you
must provide a fallback component. This means that the user might be
able to immediately navigate to the new page, which is good, but they'd
be presented with a skeleton UI while the other parts of the page stream
in. Not necessarily an improvement to UX as there would be multiple
loading states with this approach.
There are other problems with using Suspense as well. Our default
template, for example, contains the app header and sidebar which are not
rendered within the root layout. This means that they need to stream in
every single time. On fast networks, this would also lead to a
noticeable "blink" unless there is some mechanism by which we can detect
and defer the fallback from ever rendering in such cases. Might still be
worth exploring in the future though.
### What?
Extends visibility into what view is being shown so custom components
have context as to where they are being rendered.
**This PR does not add React Context.**
### Why?
This was needed for the multi-tenant plugin where the selector is in the
navigation sidebar and has no way to know if it is being shown inside of
a document or the list view.
I assume other users may also want their server components to be aware
of where a component is rendering before hitting the client. An example
would be wanting to redirect on the server instead of on the client,
this is how multi-tenant redirects users from "global" enabled
collections to the document view.
### How?
Adds 2 new variables that are determined by the view being routed to.
`viewType` - which view is being rendered, ie `list`, `document`,
`version`, `account`, `verify`, `reset`
```ts
type ViewTypes =
| 'account'
| 'dashboard'
| 'document'
| 'list'
| 'reset'
| 'verify'
| 'version'
```
`documentSubViewType` - which tells you what sub view you are on, ie
`api`, `livePreview`, `default`, `versions`
```ts
type DocumentSubViewTypes =
| 'api'
| 'default'
| 'livePreview'
| 'version'
| 'versions'
```
As described in #9576, the `SearchParamsProvider` can become stale when
navigating routes and relying on search params during initial render.
This is because this context, along with the `ParamsProvider`, is
duplicative to the internal lifecycle of `useSearchParams` and
`useParams` from `next/navigation`– but always one render behind.
Instead, we need to use the hooks directly from `next/navigation` as
described in the jsdocs. This will also remove any abstraction over top
the web standard for `URLSearchParams`.
For this reason, these providers and their corresponding hooks have been
marked with the deprecated flag and will continue to behave as they do
now, but will be removed in the next major release. This PR replaces all
internal reliance on these hooks with `next/navigation` as suggested,
except for the `useParams` hook, which was never used in the first
place.
```diff
'use client'
- import { useSearchParams } from '@payloadcms/ui'
+ import { useSearchParams } from 'next/navigation'
+ import { parseSearchParams } from '@payloadcms/ui'
export function MyClientComponent() {
- const { searchParams } = useSearchParams()
+ const searchParams = useSearchParams()
+ const parsedParams = parseSearchParams(searchParams)
// ...
}
```
_MyClientComponent.tsx_
Fixes: #9610.
### What?
Currently some links inside the main nav are still focusable with a
keyboard when the main nav is closed.
### Why?
This leads to the active keyboard focus getting lost until it eventually
finds its way to the hamburger menu button. It can also lead to links
that are not currently visible being selected accidentally.
### How?
When the [inert
attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/inert)
is set to `true`, we can prevent focus on any child elements
automatically. We simply toggle the attribute on or off based on whether
the nav is open or closed.
The inert attribute has [great
compatibility](https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_global_attributes_inert)
with modern browsers these days, making it a solid choice to resolve
this issue.
### Recordings
#### Before
You can see down the bottom left of the screen that links available in
the main nav are still focusable even when the main nav is closed.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e16d5336-7d2b-42f1-886b-cfa3ed82dbb1
#### After
You can see that focus is immediately moved to the hamburger menu when
the main nav is closed.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8c81197a-53aa-4af1-8e5c-f6835ba955a5
The biggest difference comes from calling `RenderServerComponent` as a
function, instead of rendering it by using `<RenderServerComponent`.
This gets rid of wasteful blocks of codes sent to the client that look
like this:

HTML size comparison:
## Admin test suite
| View | Before | After |
|------|---------|--------|
| Dashboard | 331 kB | 83 kB |

## Fields test suite

Protects the `/api/access` endpoint behind authentication and sanitizes
the result, making it more secure and significantly smaller. To do this:
1. The `permission` keyword is completely omitted from the result
2. Only _truthy_ access results are returned
3. All nested permissions are consolidated when possible

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()
```
More details coming soon.

Potentially fixes#9012 by disabling prefetch for all Next.js `Link`
component usage.
With prefetch left as the default and _on_, there were cases where the
prefetch could fetch stale data for Edit routes. Then, when navigating
to the Edit route, the data could be stale.
In addition, I think there is some strangeness happening on the Next.js
side where prefetched data might still come from the router cache even
though router cache is disabled.
This fix should be done regardless, but I suspect it will solve for a
lot of stale data issues.
### What?
When read access is restricted on the `users` collection - restricted
users would not have access to other users complete user data object
only their IDs when accessing `user.value`.
### Why?
This is problematic when determining the lock status of a document from
a restricted users perspective as `user.id` would not exist - the user
data would not be an object in this case but instead a `string` or
`number` value for user ID
### How?
This PR properly handles both cases now and checks if the incoming user
data is an object or just a `string` / `number`.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8470
Cleans up the way we redirect and where it happens.
## Improvements
- When you verify, the admin panel will display a toast when it
redirects you to the login route. This is contextually helpful as to
what is happening.
- Removes dead code path, as we always set the _verifiedToken to null
after it is used.
## `handleAdminPage` renamed to `getRouteInfo`
This function no longer handles routing. It kicks that responsibility
back up to the initPage function.
## `isAdminAuthRoute` renamed to `isPublicAdminRoute`
This was inversely named as it determines if a given route is public.
Also simplifies deterministic logic here.
## `redirectUnauthenticatedUser` argument
This is no longer used or needed. We can determine these things by using
the `isPublicAdminRoute` function.
## View Style fixes
- Reset Password
- Forgot Password
- Unauthorized
- Removes locked documents `editedAt` as it was redundant with the
`updatedAt` timestamp
- Adjust stale lock tests to configure the duration down to 1 second and
await it to not lose any test coverage
- DB performance changes:
1. Switch to payload.db.find instead of payload.find for
checkDocumentLockStatus to avoid populating the user and other payload
find overhead
2. Add maxDepth: 1 to user relationship
3. Add index to global slug
## 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
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'

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.
All tests done
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo/tree/feat/path-test)
with beta.67/PR, db-mongodb and default richtext-lexical:
**dev /admin before:**

**dev /admin after:**

---
**dev /test before:**

**dev /test after:**

---
**build before:**

**build after::**

### 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.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/6823
Allows the server to initialize the AuthProvider via props. Renames
`HydrateClientUser` to `HydrateAuthProvider`. It now only hydrates the
permissions as the user can be set from props. Permissions can be
initialized from props, but still need to be hydrated for some pages as
access control can be specific to docs/lists etc.
**BREAKING CHANGE**
- Renames exported `HydrateClientUser` to `HydrateAuthProvider`
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/7428
Now email and username fields are rendered with the RenderFields
component, making them behave similarly to other fields. They now appear
and can respect doc permissions, readOnly settings, etc.
Allows username to be optional when using the new loginWithUsername
feature. This can be done by the following:
```ts
auth: {
loginWithUsername: {
requireUsername: false, // <-- new property, default true
requireEmail: false, // default: false
allowEmailLogin: true, // default false
},
},
```
## Description
- Updates admin UI with more condensed spacing throughout.
- Improves hover states and read-only states for various components.
- Removes the `Merriweather` font from `next/font` and replaces with
stack of system serif fonts and fallbacks (Georgia, etc). Closes#7257
## BREAKING CHANGES
- Custom components and styling that don't utilize Payload's CSS/SCSS
variables may need adjustments to match the updated styling.
- If you are using the `Merriweather` font, you will need to manually
configure `next/font` in your own project.

## Description
Nav items not displaying different style when active.
We were previously using `NavLink` which determines if the item is
active and applies the classname. Now we are using the standard `Link`
and need to add the `active` classname manually.
