### What?
Adds new feature to change the default behavior of the Publish button.
When localization is enabled, you can now choose whether to publish all
locales (default) or publish the active locale only.

### Why?
Since implementing the ability to publish a specific locale, users have
reported that having this option as the default button would be
preferred in some cases.
### How?
Add `defaultLocalePublishOption` to your localization config and set it
to 'active':
```ts
localization: {
defaultLocalePublishOption: 'active',
// the rest of your localization config
},
```

Field paths within hooks are not correct.
For example, an unnamed tab containing a group field and nested text
field should have the path:
- `myGroupField.myTextField`
However, within hooks that path is formatted as:
- `_index-1.myGroupField.myTextField`
The leading index shown above should not exist, as this field is
considered top-level since it is located within an unnamed tab.
This discrepancy is only evident through the APIs themselves, such as
when creating a request with invalid data and reading the validation
errors in the response. Form state contains proper field paths, which is
ultimately why this issue was never caught. This is because within the
admin panel we merge the API response with the current form state,
obscuring the underlying issue. This becomes especially obvious in
#10580, where we no longer initialize validation errors within form
state until the form has been submitted, and instead rely solely on the
API response for the initial error state.
Here's comprehensive example of how field paths _should_ be formatted:
```
{
// ...
fields: [
{
// path: 'topLevelNamedField'
// schemaPath: 'topLevelNamedField'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'topLevelNamedField',
type: 'text',
},
{
// path: 'array'
// schemaPath: 'array'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'array',
type: 'array',
fields: [
{
// path: 'array.[n].fieldWithinArray'
// schemaPath: 'array.fieldWithinArray'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'fieldWithinArray',
type: 'text',
},
{
// path: 'array.[n].nestedArray'
// schemaPath: 'array.nestedArray'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'nestedArray',
type: 'array',
fields: [
{
// path: 'array.[n].nestedArray.[n].fieldWithinNestedArray'
// schemaPath: 'array.nestedArray.fieldWithinNestedArray'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'fieldWithinNestedArray',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
{
// path: 'array.[n]._index-2'
// schemaPath: 'array._index-2'
// indexPath: '2'
type: 'row',
fields: [
{
// path: 'array.[n].fieldWithinRowWithinArray'
// schemaPath: 'array._index-2.fieldWithinRowWithinArray'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'fieldWithinRowWithinArray',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
},
{
// path: '_index-2'
// schemaPath: '_index-2'
// indexPath: '2'
type: 'row',
fields: [
{
// path: 'fieldWithinRow'
// schemaPath: '_index-2.fieldWithinRow'

fields: [
{

// schemaPath: '_index-3-0.fieldWithinUnnamedTab'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'fieldWithinUnnamedTab',
type: 'text',
},
{
// path: '_index-3-0-1'

fields: [
{
// path: 'fieldWithinNestedUnnamedTab'
// schemaPath: '_index-3-0-1-0.fieldWithinNestedUnnamedTab'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'fieldWithinNestedUnnamedTab',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
},
],
},
{
// path: 'namedTab'
// schemaPath: '_index-3.namedTab'
// indexPath: ''
label: 'Named Tab',
name: 'namedTab',
fields: [
{
// path: 'namedTab.fieldWithinNamedTab'
// schemaPath: '_index-3.namedTab.fieldWithinNamedTab'
// indexPath: ''
name: 'fieldWithinNamedTab',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
},
]
}
```
### What?
Fixes bug with **plugin-nested-docs**. The plugin should update the
breadcrumb data of any child documents when the parent doc is updated,
currently only the **draft** child document is updated.
### How?
Updates the resave function to fetch draft and published child docs.
Closes issue #10066
## 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?
- Removes the tenant cookie when the user logs out
- Prevents double redirect to globals when no tenant is selected
### Why?
There were a couple scenarios where the cookie and the tenant did not
match, ie if you logged into 1 tenant, and then out and then into
another tenant.
Field validations currently run very often, such as within form state on
type. This can lead to serious performance implications within the admin
panel if those validation functions are async, especially if they
perform expensive database queries. One glaring example of this is how
all relationship and upload fields perform a database lookup in order to
evaluate that the given value(s) satisfy the defined filter options. If
the field is polymorphic, this can happen multiple times over, one for
each collection. Similarly, custom validation functions might also
perform expensive tasks, something that Payload has no control over.
The fix here is two-fold. First, we now provide a new `event` arg to all
`validate` functions that allow you to opt-in to performing expensive
operations _only when documents are submitted_, and fallback to
significantly more performant validations as form state is generated.
This new pattern will be the new default for relationship and upload
fields, however, any custom validation functions will need to be
implemented in this way in order to take advantage of it. Here's what
that might look like:
```
[
// ...
{
name: 'text'
type: 'text',
validate: async (value, { event }) => {
if (event === 'onChange') {
// Do something highly performant here
return true
}
// Do something more expensive here
return true
}
}
]
```
The second part of this is to only run validations _after the form as
been submitted_, and then every change event thereafter. This work is
being done in #10580.
This was a tricky one.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10700
May potentially fix 9163
This could have also been causing glitchyness related to things like
lexical upload / relationship / link node population.
## Issue and solution explained
The lexical field afterRead hook is responsible for executing afterRead
hooks (this includes relationship population) for all sub-nodes, e.g.
upload or block nodes.
Any field and population promises that were created in the process of
traversing the lexical editor state were added to the parent
`fieldPromises` and `populationPromises` array.
Now this lexical `afterRead` hook, which is responsible for creating and
adding all field and population promises of its sub-nodes to the parent
`fieldPromises` and `populationPromises` arrays, was itself part of the
**same** `fieldPromises` array.
The execution of this lexical `afterRead` hook itself is happening while
the `fieldPromises` array is being awaited. This means that new field
and population promises were being added to this same array DURING the
process of awaiting all promises of this array.
As a result, any promises dynamically added while awaiting the initial
set of fieldPromises were not included in the initial `Promise.all()`
awaiting process, leading to unhandled promises.
This PR resolves the issue by ensuring that promises are repeatedly
awaited until no new promises remain in the arrays. By continuously
awaiting the `fieldPromises` and `populationPromises` until all
dynamically added promises are fully resolved, this PR ensures that any
promises added during the processing of a parent promise are also
properly awaited. This guarantees that no promises are skipped,
preserving the intended behavior of the afterRead hook
- Blocks can now be selected (only inline blocks were possible before).
- Any DecoratorNode that users create will have the necessary logic out
of the box so that they are selected with a click and deleted with
backspace/delete.
- By having the code for selecting and deleting centralized, a lot of
repetitive code was eliminated
- More performant code due to the use of event delegation. There is only
one listener, previously there was one for each decoratorNode.
- Heuristics to exclude scenarios where you don't want to select the
node: if it is inside the DecoratorNode, but is also inside a button,
input, textarea, contentEditable, .react-select, .code-editor or
.no-select-decorator. That last one was added as a means of opt-out.
- Fix#10634
Note: arrow navigation will be introduced in a later PR.

### What?
This PR introduces the ability to bulk edit multiple uploads
simultaneously within the `Edit all` option for bulk uploads. Users can
now select fields to update across all selected uploads in a single
operation.
### Why?
Managing multiple uploads individually can be time-consuming and
inefficient, especially when updating common fields. This feature
streamlines the process, improving user experience and productivity when
handling bulk uploads.
### How?
* Added an `Edit Many` drawer component specific to bulk uploads that
allows users to select fields for bulk editing.
* Enhanced the FormsManager and related logic to ensure updates are
applied consistently across all selected uploads.

- Fixes collection and tab descriptions not having a bottom padding:
- Deprecates `description` on tabs config in favour of
`admin.description` but supports both
- Adds test to make sure `admin.description` renders with static string
and function too for tabs
### What?
When switching tenants from within a document and then navigating back
out to the list view, the tenant would not be set correctly.
### Why?
This was because we handle the tenant selector selection differently
when viewing a document.
### How?
Now when you navigate out, the page will refresh the cookie.
Also adds test suite config that shows how the dom can be used to
manipulate styles per tenant.
### What?
Currently it is not possible to override the upload component.
### Why?
The ability to override the upload component is missing from
`renderDocumentSlots`.
### How?
Adding a check to include the custom upload component if it is
available.
This issue is holding me back from releasing a payload plugin.
Fixes#9591
Custom block row labels defined on `admin.components.Label` were not
rendering despite existing in the config. Instead, if a custom label
component was defined on the _top-level_ blocks field itself, it was
incorrectly replacing each blocks label _in addition_ to the field's
label. Now, custom labels defined at the field-level now only replace
the field's label as expected, and custom labels defined at the
block-level are now supported as the types suggest.
Following https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10551, I found and
fixed a handful more bugs:
- When writing to the input, the results that were already there were
not cleaned, causing incorrect results to appear.
- the scroll was causing an infinite loop that showed repeated elements
- optimization: only the required field is selected (not required)
- refs are set to the initial value to avoid a state where nothing can
be searched
Having the `scripts` dir re-use all packages from the top-level was
getting quite unwieldy. Created new `tools` directory that is part of
the workspace. Packages are exported with the `@tools` package
namespace.
Bumps the following dependencies:
- next
- typescript
- http-status
- nodemailer
- Payload & next versions in all templates
- Monorepo only: playwright and dotenv
Removes unused dependencies:
- ts-jest
- jest-environment-jsdom
- resend (we don't use their sdk, we only use their rest API)
### 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?
The `pasteURL` feature for Upload fields has been updated to support
both **client-side** and **server-side** URL fetching. Previously, users
could only paste URLs from the same domain as their Payload instance
(internal) or public domains, which led to **CORS** errors when trying
to fetch files from external URLs.
Now, users can choose between **client-side fetching** (default) and
**server-side fetching** using the new `pasteURL` option in the Upload
collection config.
### How?
- By default, Payload will attempt to fetch the file client-side
directly in the browser.
- To enable server-side fetching, you can configure the new `pasteURL`
option with an `allowList` of trusted domains.
- The new `/api/:collectionSlug/paste-url` endpoint is used to fetch
files server-side and stream them back to the browser.
#### Example
```
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const Media: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'media',
upload: {
// pasteURL: false, // Can now disable the pasteURL option entirely by passing "false".
pasteURL: {
allowList: [
{
hostname: 'payloadcms.com', // required
pathname: '',
port: '',
protocol: 'https', // defaults to https - options: "https" | "http"
search: ''
},
{
hostname: 'example.com',
pathname: '/images/*',
},
],
},
},
}
```
### Why
This update provides more flexibility for users to paste URLs into
Upload fields without running into **CORS errors** and allows Payload to
securely fetch files from trusted domains.
### Multi Tenant Plugin
This PR adds a `@payloadcms/plugin-multi-tenant` package. The goal is to
consolidate a source of truth for multi-tenancy. Currently we are
maintaining different implementations for clients, users in discord and
our examples repo. When updates or new paradigms arise we need to
communicate this with everyone and update code examples which is hard to
maintain.
### What does it do?
- adds a tenant selector to the sidebar, above the nav links
- adds a hidden tenant field to every collection that you specify
- adds an array field to your users collection, allowing you to assign
users to tenants
- by default combines the access control (to enabled collections) that
you define, with access control based on the tenants assigned to user on
the request
- by default adds a baseListFilter that filters the documents shown in
the list view with the selected tenant in the admin panel
### What does it not do?
- it does not implement multi-tenancy for your frontend. You will need
to query data for specific tenants to build your website/application
- it does not add a tenants collection, you **NEED** to add a tenants
collection, where you can define what types of fields you would like on
it
### The plugin config
Most of the options listed below are _optional_, but it is easier to
just lay out all of the configuration options.
**TS Type**
```ts
type MultiTenantPluginConfig<ConfigTypes = unknown> = {
/**
* After a tenant is deleted, the plugin will attempt to clean up related documents
* - removing documents with the tenant ID
* - removing the tenant from users
*
* @default true
*/
cleanupAfterTenantDelete?: boolean
/**
* Automatically
*/
collections: {
[key in CollectionSlug]?: {
/**
* Set to `true` if you want the collection to behave as a global
*
* @default false
*/
isGlobal?: boolean
/**
* Set to `false` if you want to manually apply the baseListFilter
*
* @default true
*/
useBaseListFilter?: boolean
/**
* Set to `false` if you want to handle collection access manually without the multi-tenant constraints applied
*
* @default true
*/
useTenantAccess?: boolean
}
}
/**

*
* @default 'tenant'
*/
name?: string
}
/**
* Field configuration for the field added to the users collection
*
* If `includeDefaultField` is `false`, you must include the field on your users collection manually
* This is useful if you want to customize the field or place the field in a specific location
*/
tenantsArrayField?:
| {
/**
* Access configuration for the array field
*/
arrayFieldAccess?: ArrayField['access']
/**
* When `includeDefaultField` is `true`, the field will be added to the users collection automatically
*/
includeDefaultField?: true
/**
* Additional fields to include on the tenants array field
*/
rowFields?: Field[]
/**
* Access configuration for the tenant field
*/
tenantFieldAccess?: RelationshipField['access']
}
| {
arrayFieldAccess?: never
/**
* When `includeDefaultField` is `false`, you must include the field on your users collection manually
*/
includeDefaultField?: false
rowFields?: never
tenantFieldAccess?: never
}
/**
* The slug for the tenant collection
*
* @default 'tenants'
*/
tenantsSlug?: string
/**
* Function that determines if a user has access to _all_ tenants
*
* Useful for super-admin type users
*/
userHasAccessToAllTenants?: (
user: ConfigTypes extends { user: User } ? ConfigTypes['user'] : User,
) => boolean
}
```
**Example usage**
```ts
import type { Config } from './payload-types'
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
export default buildConfig({
plugins: [
multiTenantPlugin<Config>({
collections: {
pages: {},
},
userHasAccessToAllTenants: (user) => isSuperAdmin(user),
}),
],
})
```
### How to configure Collections as Globals for multi-tenant
When using multi-tenant, globals need to actually be configured as
collections so the content can be specific per tenant.
To do that, you can mark a collection with `isGlobal` and it will behave
like a global and users will not see the list view.
```ts
multiTenantPlugin({
collections: {
navigation: {
isGlobal: true,
},
},
})
```
### 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.
This PR makes the "test" folder strict in typescript.
`pnpm build:test` before: Found 3275 errors in 174 files.
`pnpm build:test` after: Found 4912 errors in 268 files.
At some point we should bring that number to 0 and make it a requirement
in the CI. Currently `pnpm build:test` is not run anywhere in the CI.
Additionally, I took the opportunity to combine the duplicate
configurations from `tsconfig.json` and `tsconfig.typecheck.json` using
"extend".
declaration, declarationMap and sourceMap have been removed as they have
no reason to exist in noEmit.
The settings I left in `tsconfig.typecheck.json` are ones that I'm not
sure why they are there. Perhaps the file could be removed or at least
reduced further.
This significantly optimizes the form state, reducing its size by up to
more than 3x and improving overall response times. This change also has
rolling effects on initial page size as well, where the initial state
for the entire form is sent through the request. To achieve this, we do
the following:
- Remove `$undefined` strings that are potentially attached to
properties like `value`, `initialValue`, `fieldSchema`, etc.
- Remove unnecessary properties like empty `errorPaths` arrays and empty
`customComponents` objects, which only need to exist if used
- Remove unnecessary properties like `valid`, `passesCondition`, etc.
which only need to be returned if explicitly `false`
- Remove unused properties like `isSidebar`, which simply don't need to
exist at all, as they can be easily calculated during render
## Results
The following results were gathered by booting up each test suite listed
below using the existing seed data, navigating to a document in the
relevant collection, then typing a single letter into the noted field in
order to invoke new form-state. The result is then saved to the file
system for comparison.
| Test Suite | Collection | Field | Before | After | Percentage Change |
|------|------|---------|--------|--------|--------|
| `field-perf` | `blocks-collection` | `layout.0.field1` | 227kB | 110
kB | ~52% smaller |
| `fields` | `array-fields` | `items.0.text` | 14 kB | 4 kB | ~72%
smaller |
| `fields` | `block-fields` | `blocks.0.richText` | 25 kB | 14 kB | ~44%
smaller |
### 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#10529. The `req.locale` property within collection and global
access control functions does not reflect the current locale. This was
because we were attaching the locale to the req only _after_ running
`payload.auth`, which attempts to get access control without a
fully-formed req. The fix is to first authenticate the user using the
`executeAuthStrategies` operation directly, then determine the request
locale with that user, and finally get access results with the proper
locale.
This PR adds `cacheTags: boolean` (default `true`) to allow users to
disable the appended document updatedAt value in the case of hosting
with third party CDNs which may not allow additional search params and
throw an error.
It also fixes how we append this value to consider the case where the
URL already contains parameters and appends it with `&` instead.
In the future `cacheTags` can be made an object to allow granularity for
disabling `eTag` headers used for caching as well.
The cache tag control should help with these two issues:
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9880
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9993
The appending of the value correctly addresses this:
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10139
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.
This should fix it https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10387
I don't know why we had 2 different copies of normalizeMarkdown.
Also, the most up-to-date one still had a bug where lines were
considered as if they were inside codeblocks when they weren't.
How I tested that it works:
1. I copied the `normalizeMarkdown` implementation from this PR into the
website repo, and made sure it is called before the conversion to
editorState.
2. In the admin panel, sync docs.
3. In the admin panel, refresh mdx to lexical (new button, below sync
docs).
4. Look for the examples from bug #10387 and verify that they have been
resolved.
An extra pair of eyes would be nice to make sure I'm not getting
confused with the imports.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10462
This behavior caused the fixed toolbar of the lexical editor within the
drawer to trigger overlap behavior of the fixed toolbar belonging to the
lexical editor behind the drawer.
Editors within drawers should be treated as separate, instead of being
able to form parent-child relationships between editors behind or in
nested drawers
Previously, this config:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const tabSlug = 'tabs'
export const Tab: CollectionConfig = {
slug: tabSlug,
fields: [
{
type: 'tabs',
tabs: [
{
name: 'tabLocalized',
localized: true,
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
type: 'text',
},
{
name: 'array',
type: 'array',
fields: [
{
name: 'title',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
},
],
},
],
}
```
This call
```ts
const result = await payload.create({
collection: tabSlug,
locale: englishLocale,
data: {
tabLocalized: {},
},
})
```
Led to the following crash with the MongoDB adapter
<img width="741" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8d1d37de-a685-4a30-bd37-58af164108a2"
/>
This is due to how Mongoose, apparently just ignores the `minimize:
false` configuration
a83a430a3a/packages/db-mongodb/src/models/buildSchema.ts (L571)
and we, instead of `tabLocalized: { en: { } }` receive just
`tabLocalized: {}`.
This isn't an issue with group fields because we have fallback for them
a83a430a3a/packages/payload/src/fields/hooks/afterChange/promise.ts (L203)
This PR adds the same for tabs.
Editing fields during a locale change on slow networks can lead to
changes being reset when the new form state is returned. This is because
the fields receive new values from context when the new locale loads in,
which may have occurred _after_ changes were made to the fields. The fix
is to subscribe to a new `localeIsLoading` context which is set
immediately after changing locales, and then reset once the new locale
loads in. This also removes the misleading `@deprecated` flag from the
`useLocale` hook itself.
Previously, updates of the node fields from outside the form using
setFields did not trigger re-fetching the initial state, and thus
providing updated values to the form. This is to avoid unnecessary
re-renders of the form and unnecessary requests when setFields is
triggered from within the form.
This PR resets the initial state, thus triggering a re-render and
re-fetch of the initial state, if node.setFields is called from outside
the form. This preserves the performance optimization
Currently, unless a locale is present in the URL search params, the
locale context is instantiated using the default locale until prefs load
in client-side. This causes the locale selector to briefly render in
with the incorrect (default) locale before being replaced by the proper
locale of the request. For example, if the default locale is `en`, and
the page is requested in `es`, the locale selector will flash with
English before changing to the correct locale, even though the page data
itself is properly loaded in Spanish. This is especially evident within
slow networks.
The fix is to query the user's locale preference server-side and thread
it into the locale provider to initialize state. Because search params
are not available within server layouts, we cannot pass the locale param
in the same way, so we rely on the provider itself to read them from the
`useSearchParams` hook. If present, this takes precedence over the
user's preference if it exists.
Since the root page also queries the user's locale preference to
determine the proper locale across navigation, we use React's cache
function to dedupe these function calls and ensure only a single query
is made to the db for each request.
