### What?
Two new configuration properties added for upload enabled collections.
- *hideFileInputOnCreate* - Set to `true` to prevent the admin UI from
showing file inputs during document creation, useful for programmatic
file generation.
- *hideRemoveFile* - Set to `true` to prevent the admin UI having a way
to remove an existing file while editing.
### Why?
When using file uploads that get created programmatically in
`beforeOperation` hooks or files created using `jobs`, or when
`filesRequiredOnCreate` is false, you may want to use these new flags to
prevent users from interacting with these controls.
### How?
The new properties only impact the admin UI components to dial in the UX
for various use cases.

The `localized` properly was not stripped out of referenced block fields, if any parent was localized. For normal fields, this is done in sanitizeConfig. As the same referenced block config can be used in both a localized and non-localized config, we are not able to strip it out inside sanitizeConfig by modifying the block config.
Instead, this PR had to bring back tedious logic to handle it everywhere the `field.localized` property is accessed. For backwards-compatibility, we need to keep the existing sanitizeConfig logic. In 4.0, we should remove it to benefit from better test coverage of runtime field.localized handling - for now, this is done for our test suite using the `PAYLOAD_DO_NOT_SANITIZE_LOCALIZED_PROPERTY` flag.
This PR ensures, that collections that don't have `auth: true` don't
mount authentication related endpoints like `/me`, the same for uploads.
Additionally, moves upload-related endpoints to `uploads/endpoints/*`.
Adds a dedicated "Custom Components" section to the docs.
As users become familiar with building custom components, not all areas
that support customization are well documented. Not only this, but the
current pattern does not allow for deep elaboration on these concepts
without their pages growing to an unmanageable size. Custom components
in general is a large enough topic to merit a standalone section with
subpages. This change will make navigation much more intuitive, help
keep page size down, and provide room to document every single available
custom component with snippets to show exactly how they are typed, etc.
This is a substantial change to the docs, here is the overview:
- The "Admin > Customizing Components" doc is now located at "Custom
Components > overview"
- The "Admin > Views" doc is now located at "Custom Components > Custom
Views"
- There is a new "Custom Components > Edit View" doc
- There is a new "Custom Components > List View" doc
- The information about root components within the "Admin > Customizing
Components" doc has been moved to a new "Custom Components > Root
Components" doc
- The information about custom providers within the "Admin > Customizing
Components" doc has been moved to a new "Custom Components > Custom
Providers" doc
Similar to the goals of #10743, #10742, and #10741.
Fixes#10872 and initial scaffolding for #10353.
Dependent on #11126.
This change will require the following redirects to be set up:
- `/docs/admin/hooks` → `/docs/admin/react-hooks`
- `/docs/admin/components` → `/docs/custom-components/overview`
- `/docs/admin/views` → `/docs/custom-components/views`
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.
The `Media` component has an optional property `resource` so we can skip
that property. As in payload `required: false` types are generated like
`media?: Media | string | null`, it also makes sense to allow `null` as
a `resource` value.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11200
The fix, added in https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11096
wasn't sufficient enough. It did handle the case when the same query
path / table was joined twice and caused incorrect `totalDocs`, but it
didn't handle the case when `JOIN` returns more than 1 rows, which 2
added new assertions here check.
Now, we use `COUNT(*)` only if we don't have any joined tables. If we
do, instead of using `SELECT (COUNT DISTINCT id)` which as described in
the previous PR is _very slow_ for large tables, we use the following
query:
```sql
SELECT COUNT(1) OVER() as count -- window function, executes for each row only once
FROM users
LEFT JOIN -- ... here additional rows are added
WHERE -- ...
GROUP BY users.id -- this ensures we're counting only users without additional rows from joins.
LIMIT 1 -- Since COUNT(1) OVER() executes and resolves before doing LIMIT, we can safely apply LIMIT 1.
```
Bulk-many components are always using the plural format in their title,
even if only one document has been selected.
This fix checks the selection count and if its greater than 1 it will
show the plural format otherwise it will show the singular format.
Lexical checks commands by reference equality. This means that even if you re-define those commands in your own codebase using the same command `type` string, they will be treated as different commands.
If you wanted to dispatch the block creation command in your own codebase (e.g. from a different lexical feature, or any component within the editor), this will not be possible right now. See https://discord.com/channels/967097582721572934/1339557113898340352/1339557113898340352

### What?
This PR fixes an issue where a deleted relationship entry would lead to
a runtime error if the user clicked on the edit button in ui due to not
having a `doc` available in `handleServerFunction`.
### Why?
To prevent runtime errors during expected usage.
### How?
By hiding the edit button in entries that have been deleted. This is
done for entries where the user does not have read access already.

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.
### What?
This PR fixes an issue where the `join` field table was not respecting
the locale selected in the admin ui localizer.
This also introduces an e2e test to the existing suite to catch this
issue.
### Why?
To properly render `join` field table data according to chosen and
configured locales.
### How?
Threading `req.locale` through to the `payload.find` call in
`buildTableState`.

Incorrect default value on exported `tenantsArrayField` field. Should
have been `tenant` but was using `tenants`. This affected the
multi-tenant example which uses a custom tenants array field.
You would not notice this issue unless you were using:
```ts
tenantsArrayField: {
includeDefaultField: false,
}
```
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11125
### What?
Assuming you have a hook in your collection that is looking for certain
conditions to be met related to the join field. The way you would
prevent it is to throw a `new ValidationError()` with errors containing
the path of the field. Previously, the error message for the field would
not show in the admin UI at all.
### Why?
Users need to be able to see any custom error messages for joins field
in the UI so they can address the issue.
### How?
Adds an error class and display the FieldError in the Join field in the
UI component.
### What?
This PR removes a pair unnecessary calls to `schema.index` against the
timestamp fields. The issue is when a user sets `indexSortableFields` as
this is what will ultimately pass the predicate which then creates
duplicate indexes.
### Why?
These calls are redundant as `index` is [already
passed](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/db-mongodb/src/models/buildSchema.ts#L69)
to the underlying fields base schema options in the process of
formatting and will already be indexed.
These warnings were surfaced after the bump to mongoose to version 8.9.5
as [in 8.9.3 mongoose began throwing these warnings to indicate
duplicative
indexes](https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/releases/tag/8.9.3).
### How?
By removing these calls and, as a result, silencing the warnings thrown
by mongoose.
If you have multiple blocks that are used in multiple places, this can quickly blow up the size of your Payload Config. This will incur a performance hit, as more data is
1. sent to the client (=> bloated `ClientConfig` and large initial html) and
2. processed on the server (permissions are calculated every single time you navigate to a page - this iterates through all blocks you have defined, even if they're duplicative)
This can be optimized by defining your block **once** in your Payload Config, and just referencing the block slug whenever it's used, instead of passing the entire block config. To do this, the block can be defined in the `blocks` array of the Payload Config. The slug can then be passed to the `blockReferences` array in the Blocks Field - the `blocks` array has to be empty for compatibility reasons.
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { lexicalEditor, BlocksFeature } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
// Payload Config
const config = buildConfig({
// Define the block once
blocks: [
{
slug: 'TextBlock',
fields: [
{
name: 'text',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
collections: [
{
slug: 'collection1',
fields: [
{
name: 'content',
type: 'blocks',
// Reference the block by slug
blockReferences: ['TextBlock'],
blocks: [], // Required to be empty, for compatibility reasons
},
],
},
{
slug: 'collection2',
fields: [
{
name: 'editor',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({
BlocksFeature({
// Same reference can be reused anywhere, even in the lexical editor, without incurred performance hit
blocks: ['TextBlock'],
})
})
},
],
},
],
})
```
## v4.0 Plans
In 4.0, we will remove the `blockReferences` property, and allow string block references to be passed directly to the blocks `property`. Essentially, we'd remove the `blocks` property and rename `blockReferences` to `blocks`.
The reason we opted to a new property in this PR is to avoid breaking changes. Allowing strings to be passed to the `blocks` property will prevent plugins that iterate through fields / blocks from compiling.
## PR Changes
- Testing: This PR introduces a plugin that automatically converts blocks to block references. This is done in the fields__blocks test suite, to run our existing test suite using block references.
- Block References support: Most changes are similar. Everywhere we iterate through blocks, we have to now do the following:
1. Check if `field.blockReferences` is provided. If so, only iterate through that.
2. Check if the block is an object (= actual block), or string
3. If it's a string, pull the actual block from the Payload Config or from `payload.blocks`.
The exception is config sanitization and block type generations. This PR optimizes them so that each block is only handled once, instead of every time the block is referenced.
## Benchmarks
60 Block fields, each block field having the same 600 Blocks.

## Future Plans
1. This PR does not yet deduplicate block references during permissions calculation. We'll optimize that in a separate PR, as this one is already large enough
2. The same optimization can be done to deduplicate fields. One common use-case would be link field groups that may be referenced in multiple entities, outside of blocks. We might explore adding a new `fieldReferences` property, that allows you to reference those same `config.blocks`.
### What?
URL encodes the imageCacheTag query param used to render Media on the
Admin Dashboard
### Why?
The format of the timestamp used as the `imageCacheTag` is causing an
`InvalidQueryStringException` when hosting with Cloudfront + Lambda
(SST/OpenNext)
[See issue](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11163)
### How?
Uses `encodeURIComponent` on instances where the `imageCacheTag` is
being formatted for the request URL. (In EditUpload, Thumbnail, and
PreviewSizes)

### What?
This PR displays file size in upload cards for all upload mimetypes. The
current behavior hides this metric from the user if the file mimetype
does not start with `image`.
### Why?
Showing end-users and editors a file size is universally useful - not
only for images, but for all types of files that can be uploaded via the
upload field.
### How?
By making the predicate that adds this metric less restrictive. Instead
of checking if the mimetype is image-like, it checks if the file size is
truthy.

Refines the animation curve used in the new progress bar for route
transitions. Uses an exponential acceleration and decay so that the
indicator progresses quickly at the onset, then gradually decelerates at
it approaches completion. Also caps the progress at ~90%.
Introduced in #9275.
On fast networks where page transitions are quick, such as local dev in
most cases, the progress bar should not render. This leads to a constant
flashing of the progress bar at the top of the screen and does not
provide any value.
The fix is to add a delay to the initial rendering of the progress bar,
and only show if the transition takes longer than _n_ milliseconds. This
value can be adjusted as needed, but right now is set to 150ms.
Introduced in #9275.
The `@monaco-editor/react` package now includes React 19 in its peer
dependencies thanks to
https://github.com/suren-atoyan/monaco-react/pull/651. This package was
also incorrectly listed in `payload` as a regular dependency, but since
it's only used for type imports, it should be listed a dev dependency
instead.
### What?
Added a quick example to showcase how to add a converter for inlineBlocks.
### Why?
This is not easy to figure out in the current version. As per [Discord discussion](https://discord.com/channels/967097582721572934/1338624577990823997)
### How?
Added a very basic 3 lines example to keep the file simple.
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.

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?
The migration CLI help says `migration:fresh` is available to use - this
doesn't exist, the command should be `migrate:fresh`.
Closes#10965 & #10967
### What?
Implement the
[typescript-strict-plugin](https://github.com/allegro/typescript-strict-plugin)
plugin in the payload (core) package.
### Why?
1. One strategy for incremental migration is to enable strictness rules
in tsconfig, fix some errors, and push them without committing the
changes to tsconfig.json. However, this is not feasible for a package as
large as Payload that has over 1000 typescript errors. Until the work is
done, new contributions would undo the work being done.
2. Even if no migration work is done after this PR, this change already
improves the strictness of the package. 89 of the 311 files within the
package already satisfy strict mode. This PR only adds a comment
`@ts-strict-ignore` to files that had at least one compilation error.
This way, the propagation of errors in those files is stopped.
3. New files created in the package are strict by default (this was the
main improvement in version 2 of `typescript-strict-plugin`).
I recommend starting the migration with this package because it is the
one that almost all the others depend on. Once we finish this package,
we can repeat the same strategy on another one, or use the strategy I
mentioned in point 1 if the package is small.
### Note
If you don't see errors in the IDE when you uncomment `//
@ts-strict-ignore`, try restarting the typescript server or VSCode
### How to contribute to the migration ❤️
1. Remove `// @ts-strict-ignore` comments from 1 or more files
2. Fix the pending errors (they should appear in your IDE's intellisense
or when running `cd packages/payload` + `pnpm build:types`
3. Submit your PR!
Important: You don't need to fix everything at once! Furthermore, I
recommend breaking this down into very small PRs to trace potential
issues later if there are any. So if you have 5 minutes, tackle a small
file—every bit counts! 🤗
### What?
Add a `div` wrapper to `table` tag in `TableFeature`
### Why?
This allows for adding horizontal scrolling to the table. We use table
in our blog, however, on mobile, the content is wider than the screen
width, and causes a horizontal scroll of all the content. I attached a
video to show. You can see it by visiting the page on mobile
https://magichour.ai/blog/10-best-ai-video-generatorshttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/55778765-697e-426d-ac8a-1b0913adac13
Adding this container div allow me to target the div with a style
```css
.lexical-table-container {
overflow-x: scroll;
}
```
### How?
I tested this change by manually editing the HTML in our blog to include
the `div` with the overflow style, and it fixes the issue.
Also, verified just adding the `div` did not change anything related to
the rendered output.
This PR adds a new `siblingFields` argument to field hooks. This allows
us to dramatically simplify the `lexicalHTML` field, which previously
had to use a complex `findFieldPathAndSiblingFields` function that
deeply traverses the entire `CollectionConfig` just to find the sibling
fields.
This will hopefully allow pnpm to reliably install the correct lexical version, as lexical is now solely part of our `dependencies`. Currently, pnpm completely disregards lexical version bumps until the user deletes both the lockfile and their `node_modules` folder.
The downside of this is that pnpm will no longer throw a warning if payload is installed in a project with a mismatching lexical version. However, noone read that warning anyways, and our runtime dependency checker is more reliable.
One step closer to being able to remove `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` in
`packages/richtext-lexical/tsconfig.json`.
I'm introducing UploadData_P4 which is a more precise version of
UploadData. I'm doing it as a different type because there's a chance
it'll be a breaking change for some users.
UploadData is used in many places, but I'm currently replacing it only
in
`packages/richtext-lexical/src/exports/react/components/RichText/converter/converters/upload.tsx`,
because in the other files it's too rooted to other types like
UploadNode.
