Previously, we were unnecessarily passing the `ClientCollectionConfig`
down from the Table to the Client, even though the client cell
components could simply access it via the `useConfig` hook. This
resulted in redundant data being sent to the client for every single
table cell. Additionally, we were performing a deep copy of the
`ClientCollectionConfig`, which wasted both memory and CPU resources on
the server.

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.
Previously, the beforeValidate hook was deepCopying input data. This
indirectly ensured that the passed input data was not mutated.
E.g., if you run the `payload.create` local API, you do not want that to
mutate the `data` object that is passed as an argument. This will create
issues if you attempt to use it multiple times.
This PR moves the deepCopy logic from the beforeValidate hook to the
start of the local API operation. This ensures that
- Input data is intentionally copied at the beginning which makes more
sense. Comment was added to explain why
- GraphQL and Rest operations are now faster, as we don't need to ensure
that the input data is not mutated for those => deepCopy only runs for
local API
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.
This adds support for calculating and displaying file sizes for JPEG XL
images.
Image resizing is not supported by sharp out-of-the-box yet:
https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/2731
### 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'
```
- reduces unnecessary shallow copying within operations by removing
unnecessary spreads or .map()'s
- removes unnecessary `deleteMany` call in `deleteUserPreferences` for
auth-enabled collections
- replaces all instances of `validOperators.includes` with
`validOperatorMap[]`. O(n) => O(1)
- optimizes the `sanitizeInternalFields` function. Previously, it was
doing a **lot** of shallow copying
A lot of this deepCopying was just not necessary. This removes the
deepCopying from all field hook operations where I think it's 100% safe.
It does not remove all deepCopying, especially in areas where the input
data was deep copied, and that data pre-modification is then used after
the field hooks have run.
In these cases, further execution of the hook might be intentionally
expecting the unmodified version of that input data
### What?
General improvements:
- Disable duplication on tenant collections marked with `isGlobal`
- Simplify cookie setting logic and option loading for the selector
### 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
}
}
/**
* Enables debug mode
* - Makes the tenant field visible in the admin UI within applicable collections
*
* @default false
*/
debug?: boolean
/**
* Enables the multi-tenant plugin
*
* @default true
*/
enabled?: boolean
/**
* Field configuration for the field added to all tenant enabled collections
*/
tenantField?: {
access?: RelationshipField['access']
/**
* The name of the field added to all tenant enabled collections
*
* @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.
### What?
While working on a custom database adapter (I know I am crazy for this)
I noticed that UpsertArgs is not exported when doing:
```
import {
type UpsertArgs
} from 'payload'
```
it results in:
```
Error: src/index.ts(21,8): error TS2614: Module '"payload"' has no exported member 'UpsertArgs'. Did you mean to use 'import UpsertArgs from "payload"' instead?
```
### Why?
Because index.ts in packages/payload/src/index.ts includes Upsert but
not UpsertArgs in export.
### How?
Add the export from UpsertArgs back.
This PR modifies `tsconfig.base.json` by setting the following
strictness properties to true: `strict`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` and
`noImplicitOverride`.
In packages where compilation errors were observed, these settings were
opted out, and TODO comments were added to make it easier to track the
roadmap for converting everything to strict mode.
The following packages now have increased strictness, which prevents new
errors from being accidentally introduced:
- storage-vercel-blob
- storage-s3*
- storage-gcs
- plugin-sentry
- payload-cloud*
- email-resend*
- email-nodemailer*
*These packages already had `strict: true`, but now have
`noUncheckedIndexedAccess` and `noImplicitOverride`.
Note that this only affects the `/packages` folder, but not
`/templates`, `/test` or `/examples` which have a different `tsconfig`.
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.
Since postgres uses number IDs by default, when we were storing the
relationship field value with postgres we weren't able to query it
This fixes that problem by casting the ID to always a string making it
safe for querying inside the JSON field
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.
### What?
Consolidates logic in update and updateByID. These two operations used a
lot of the same core functionality. This is a QOL improvement for future
features/fixes on each operation. You will not need to make changes to
both operations now.
### Why?
Recently we released a feature for `publishSpecificLocale` and that was
only implemented on the updateByID operation. I think future
enhancements and fixes may suffer the same treatment.
### How?
Moves shared logic into a new file with a function called
`updateDocument`.
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.
The collection access endpoint, apparently, can be used without an ID as
well and the correct status code in `notFoundResponse` was missing.
Huge thanks to @akhrarovsaid
This PR auto-runs jobs only when an admin route is visited. This
solution is only temporary, as it will not work for deployments without
the admin panel that should run jobs
This PR improves how we handle REST API.
Problems before:
* `packages/next/src/routes/rest/*` had a huge amount of code that
didn't depend on next.js at all.
* `packages/next/src/routes/rest/index.ts` itself was not only huge but
also really hard to follow. Every method (`GET`, `POST` etc. was almost
full copy of another).
* `packages/next/src/utilities` had some utilities like
`headersWithCors` or `createPayloadRequest` that again, weren't depend
on next.js and potentially can be used outside of next.js.
Now:
All the logic that's not related to next.js now is inside
`packages/payload`, `packages/next/src/routes/rest/index.ts` now is only
_40_ lines instead of 900+
Functions like `headersWithCors` are now implemented and exported in
`payload`. To keep bc, we re-export them from the same path but marked
as `@deprecated`.
You can attach Payload REST API to any backend framework that uses Fetch
API (like Remix / SolidStart / Bun / Hono) if you don't need the admin
panel in your server instance, but you still want to have REST API. The
main function [`handleEndpoints`
](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10466/files#diff-82e97630068f9fc40256f3f46e06226215ab150d16012281810586b51b0cfd51R28)
accepts `Request` and returns `Response`.
It's also doable with Express, but you'd have to convert node.js'
req/res to fetch.
The `ListPreferences` and `ColumnPreferences` types were defined
multiple times in different places, making it difficult to make changes
across the board. Now, the `ListPreferences` type is exported directly
from `payload` alongside the other preferences types, and
`ColumnPreferences` has been merged directly into this type to simplify
usage as this is not a standalone preference.
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.
It is currently possible to set all types of valid JSON within the
`payload-preferences` collection via the REST API, but not the Local
API. For example, locales are currently saved as plain strings to the
`value` field, something that is only possible through REST. This is
because there is a custom POST handler that submits the data directly to
the db using the update operation itself, bypassing typical `json` field
validation. However, when using the Local API, it does not behave in the
same way, and throws a validation error instead. The fix is to add a
custom `validate` function to this field that attempts to parse the
value, and if it succeeds, returns true. This way both APIs behave the
same.
### What?
Export the default Payload JWTAuthentication strategy function for
extending and using in your own custom auth strategies that need to rely
on JWT.
### Why?
This makes it more simple to implement your own custom auth strategy.
All you need to do is set a valid JWT token as a cookie and then import
the default auth strategy so that the user will be recognized.
### How?
Exports the function and makes it reusable by adding a to the args a
strategyName prop. In the `executeAuthStrategies` function we assign the
strategyName from the configured `auth.strategies` own `name` property.
Fixes#10284. The `admin.disable` property is no longer supported as of
v3. Instead, to opt-out of serving the Admin Panel, REST API, or GraphQL
API, you must delete their corresponding directories within your Next.js
app. For example, to opt-out of everything, delete the `/app/(payload)`
directory entirely. Or to remove specifically the Admin Panel or API
routes, delete the `/app/(payload)/admin` or `/app/(payload)/api`
directories, respectively. Note: if you've modified the default paths
for these routes via `admin.routes`, delete those directories instead.
