### What?
We had an `allowCreate` prop for the list drawer that doesn't do
anything. This PR passes the prop through so it can be used.
### How?
Passes `allowCreate` down to the list view and ties it with
`hasCreatePermission`
#### Testing
- Use `admin` test suite and `withListDrawer` collection.
- Test added to the `admin/e2e/list-view`.
Fixes#11246
There are nearly a dozen independent implementations of the same modal
spread throughout the admin panel and various plugins. These modals are
used to confirm or cancel an action, such as deleting a document, bulk
publishing, etc. Each of these instances is nearly identical, leading to
unnecessary development efforts when creating them, inconsistent UI, and
duplicative stylesheets.
Everything is now standardized behind a new `ConfirmationModal`
component. This modal comes with a standard API that is flexible enough
to replace nearly every instance. This component has also been exported
for reuse.
Here is a basic example of how to use it:
```tsx
'use client'
import { ConfirmationModal, useModal } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import React, { Fragment } from 'react'
const modalSlug = 'my-confirmation-modal'
export function MyComponent() {
const { openModal } = useModal()
return (
<Fragment>
<button
onClick={() => {
openModal(modalSlug)
}}
type="button"
>
Do something
</button>
<ConfirmationModal
heading="Are you sure?"
body="Confirm or cancel before proceeding."
modalSlug={modalSlug}
onConfirm={({ closeConfirmationModal, setConfirming }) => {
// do something
setConfirming(false)
closeConfirmationModal()
}}
/>
</Fragment>
)
}
```
When reusing the SelectInput component from the UI package, if you set
value to `''` it will continue to display the previously selected value
instead of clearing out the field as expected.
The ReactSelect component doesn't behave in this way and instead will
clear out the field.
This fix addresses this difference by resetting `valueToRender` inside
the SelectInput to null.
### What?
After clicking "Select all" `toggleAll(true)`, manually deselecting an
item does not update the overall selection status.
The bulk actions remain visible, and `selectAll` incorrectly stays as
`AllAvailable`.
### How?
Updated `setSelection()` logic to adjust `selectAll` when deselecting an
item if it was previously set to `AllAvailable`.
This ensures that the selection state updates correctly without altering
the effect logic.
`selectAll` switches to Some when an item is deselected after selecting
all.
Bulk actions now hide correctly if no items are selected.
Fixes#10836
### What?
Adds new option `admin.components.listMenuItems` to allow custom
components to be injected after the existing list controls in the
collection list view.
### Why?
Needed to facilitate import/export plugin.
#### Testing
Use `pnpm dev admin` to see example component and see test added to
`test/admin/e2e/list-view`.
## Update since feature was reverted
The custom list controls and now rendered with no surrounding padding or
border radius.

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.
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.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a909202e-45a8-4bf6-9a38-8c85813f1312
## 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`.
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.
Fixes#10440. When `filterOptions` are set on a relationship field,
those same filters are not applied to the `Filter` component within the
list view. This is because `filterOptions` is not being thread into the
`RelationshipFilter` component responsible for populating the available
options.
To do this, we first need to be resolve the filter options on the server
as they accept functions. Once resolved, they can be prop-drilled into
the proper component and appended onto the client-side "where" query.
Reliant on #11080.
Fixes#9873. The relationship filter in the "where" builder renders
stale values when switching between fields or adding additional "and"
conditions. This was because the `RelationshipFilter` component was not
responding to changes in the `relationTo` prop and failing to reset
internal state when these events took place.
While it sounds like a simple fix, it was actually quite extensive. The
`RelationshipFilter` component was previously relying on a `useEffect`
that had a callback in its dependencies. This was causing the effect to
run uncontrollably using old references. To avoid this, we use the new
`useEffectEvent` approach which allows the underlying effect to run much
more precisely. Same with the `Condition` component that wraps it. We
now run callbacks directly within event handlers as much as possible,
and rely on `useEffectEvent` _only_ for debounced value changes.
This component was also unnecessarily complex...and still is to some
degree. Previously, it was maintaining two separate refs, one to track
the relationships that have yet to fully load, and another to track the
next pages of each relationship that need to load on the next run. These
have been combined into a single ref that tracks both simultaneously, as
this data is interrelated.
This change also does some much needed housekeeping to the
`WhereBuilder` by improving types, defaulting the operator field, etc.
Related: #11023 and #11032
Unrelated: finds a few more instances where the new `addListFilter`
helper from #11026 could be used. Also removes a few duplicative tests.
When filtering the list view, removing the final condition from the
query closes the "where" builder entirely. This forces the user to
re-open the filter controls and begin adding conditions from the start.
### What?
Adds new option `admin.components.listControlsMenu` to allow custom
components to be injected after the existing list controls in the
collection list view.
### Why?
Needed to facilitate import/export plugin.
#### Preview & Testing
Use `pnpm dev admin` to see example component and see test added to
`test/admin/e2e/list-view`.

When filtering the list view using conditions on a relationship field,
clearing the value from the field would leave it in the query despite
being removed from the component.
Adds a new `addListFilter` e2e helper. This will help to standardize
this common functionality across all tests that require filtering list
tables and help reduce the overall lines of code within each test file.
### What?
This PR adds tests for custom list view components to the existing suite
in `admin/e2e/list-view/`. Custom components are already tested in the
document-level counterpart, and should be tested here as well.
### Why?
Previously, there were no tests for these list view components.
Refactors, features, or changes that impact the importMap, default list
view, etc., could affect how these components get rendered. It's safer
to have tests in place to catch this as custom list view components, in
general, are used quite often.
### How?
This PR adds 5 simple tests that check for the rendering of the
following list view components:
- `BeforeList`
- `BeforeListTable`
- `UI Field Cell`
- `AfterList`
- `AfterListTable`
### 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.
<img width="401" alt="Screenshot 2024-11-22 at 12 03 20 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/757383b9-3bf9-4816-8223-a907b120912e">
### 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 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.
- 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
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
Fixes#10018. When toggling columns, then sorting them, the table is
reset to the collection's default columns instead of the user's
preferred columns. This is because when sorting columns, a stale
client-side cache of the user's preferences is used to update their sort
preference. This is because when column state is constructed
server-side, it completely bypasses the client-side cache. To fix this,
sort preferences are now also set on the server right alongside column
preferences, which performs an upsert-like operation to ensure that no
existing preferences are lost.
This PR adds a button to the `/account` view which allows users to reset
their preferences on-demand. This is to that editors can quickly reset their
preferences via the admin ui without the need of accessing the db directly,
which was simply not possible before. To do this, we add a new button at
the bottom of the account view which performs a standard `DELETE`
request using the REST API to the `'payload-preferences'` collection.
Related: #9949
Demo: [Posts-reset-prefs--Payload.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/560cbbe3-06ef-4b7c-b3c2-9702883b1fc6)
Fixes#10234. Some fields, such as focal point fields for upload enabled
collections, were rendering in the condition selector despite being
hidden from the column selector. This was because the logic for the
column selector was filtering fields without labels, but the same was
not being done for the filter conditions. This, however, is not a good
way to filter these fields as it requires this specific logic to be
written in multiple places. Instead, they need to explicitly check for
`hidden` and `disabled` in addition to `disableListFilter` and
`disableListColumn`. The actual filtering logic has been improved across
the two instances as well, removing multiple duplicative loops.
This change has also exposed a underlying issue with the way columns
were handled within the table columns provider. When row selections were
enabled, the selector columns were present in column state. This caused
problems when interacting with column indices, such as when reordering
columns. Instead of needing to manually filter these out every time we
need to work with column state, they no longer appear there in the first
place. Instead, we inject the row selectors directly into the table
itself, completely isolating these row selectors from the column state.
There were a handful of list view e2e tests written into the text and
email field test suite, making them hard to find as they were isolated
from other related tests. A few of these tests were also duplicative
across suites, making CI run them twice unnecessarily.
Improves the admin e2e test splitting by grouping them by type with
semantic names as opposed to numerically. This will provide much needed
clarity to exactly _where_ new admin tests should be written and help to
quickly distinguish the areas of failure within the CI overview.
When using various controls within the List View, those selections are
sometimes not persisted. This is especially evident when selecting
`perPage` from the List View, where the URL and UI would reflect this
selection, but the controls would be stale. Similarly, after changing
`perPage` then navigating to another page through the pagination
controls, `perPage` would reset back to the original value. Same with
the sort controls, where sorting by a particular column would not be
reflected in the UI. This was because although we modify the URL search
params and fire off a new query with those changes, we were not updating
local component state.
Although we have a dedicated e2e test suite for custom IDs, tests for
custom unnamed tab and row IDs were still located within the admin test
suite. This consolidates these tests into the appropriate test suite as
expected.
### What?
Previously, the `admin.group` property on `collection` / `global`
configs allowed for a custom group and the `admin.hidden` property would
not only hide the entity from the nav sidebar / dashboard but also
disable its routes.
### Why?
There was not a simple way to hide an entity from the nav sidebar /
dashboard but still keep the entities routes.
### How?
Now - we've added the `false` type to the `admin.group` field to account
for this.
Passing `false` to `admin.group` will hide the entity from the sidebar
nav and dashboard but keep the routes available to navigate.
I.e
```
admin: {
group: false,
},
```
Continuation of #9846 and partial fix for #9774. When setting
`admin.disableListFilter` retroactively, it remains active within the
list filter controls. Same for when the URL search query contains one of
these fields, except this will actually display the _wrong_ field,
falling back to the _first_ field from the config. The fix is to
properly disable the condition for this field if it's an active filter,
while still preventing it from ever rendering as an option within the
field selector itself.
Partial fix for #9774. When `admin.disableListColumn` is set
retroactively, it continues to appear in column state, but shouldn't.
This was because the table column context was not refreshing after HMR
runs, and would instead hold onto these stale columns until the page
itself refreshes. Similarly, this was also a problem when the user had
saved any of these columns to their list preferences, where those prefs
would take precedence despite these properties being set on the
underlying fields. The fix is to filter these columns from all requests
that send them, and ensure local component state properly refreshes
itself.
### What?
It became possible for fields to reset to a defined `defaultValue` when
bulk editing from the `edit-many` drawer.
### Why?
The form-state of all fields were being considered during a bulk edit -
this also meant using their initial states - this meant any fields with
default values or nested fields (`arrays`) would be overwritten with
their initial states
I.e. empty values or default values.
### How?
Now - we only send through the form data of the fields specifically
being edited in the edit-many drawer and ignore all other fields.
Leaving all other fields stay their current values.

Closes#9132. When query params are present in the URL, such as after
searching or filtering in the list view, they are not being retained
after navigating back to that view via `history.back()` (i.e. the back
button). This makes it difficult to quickly navigate in and out of
documents from the list view when an underlying search exists. This was
because the `SearchParamsProvider` is stale when the new view renders,
which then replaces the URL with these stale params. The fix here is to
_not_ use the `SearchParamsProvider` at all, and instead use
`next/navigation` directly. Ultimately, this provider should likely be
marked deprecated and then removed in the next major release for this
very reason.
Deprecates `react-animate-height` in favor of native CSS, specifically
the `interpolate-size: allow-keywords;` property which can be used to
animate to `height: auto`—the primary reason this package exists. This
is one less dependency in our `node_modules`. Tried to replicate the
current DOM structure, class names, and API of `react-animate-height`
for best compatibility.
Note that this CSS property is experimental BUT this PR includes a patch
for browsers without native support. Once full support is reached, the
patch can be safely removed.
When defining custom providers as server components, they currently do
not receive any of the server props that custom components expect to
receive, like `payload`, `i18n`, `user`, and so on.
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:

### What?
Ensures `path` is required and only present on the fields that expect it
(all fields except row).
Deprecates `useFieldComponents` and `FieldComponentsProvider` and
instead extends the RenderField component to account for all field
types. This also improves type safety within `RenderField`.
### Why?
`path` being optional just adds DX overhead and annoyance.
### How?
Added `FieldPaths` type which is added to iterable field types. Placed
`path` back onto the ClientFieldBase type.
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.

This PR aims to fix a few issues with the notFound page and custom views
so it matches v2 behaviour:
- Non authorised users should always be redirected to the login page
regardless if not found or valid URL
- Previously notFound would render for non users too potentially
exposing valid but protected routes and creating a confusing workflow as
the UI was being rendered as well
- Custom views are now public by default
- in our `admin` test suite, the `/admin/public-custom-view` is
accessible to non users but
`/admin/public-custom-view/protected-nested-view` is not unless the
checkbox is true in the Settings global, there's e2e coverage for this
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8716
