### What
Clarifies that `sharp` must be specified in payload config for image
resizing & cropping to work. Also adds link to the configuration page
for further information.
### Why
It is not immediately clear from this single documentation page alone.
While it says that the feature relies on sharp, it does not say that it
must be added to config. Most people won't probably run into this since
they're probably going to use `create-payload-app`, which configures
sharp by default. But those who use custom config (like me) may be left
wondering why this feature does not work.

working](https://payloadcms.com/community-help/discord/crop-images-and-preview-sizes-not-working)

### What?
There were a couple issues with the implementation within the example
when using postgres.
- `ensureUniqueUsername` tenant was being extracted incorrectly, should
not constrain query unless it was present
- `ensureUniqueSlug` was querying by NaN when tenant was not present on
data or originalDoc
- `users` read access was not correctly extracting the tenant id in the
correct type depending on DB

The `payload-admin-bar` now supports React 19 as a result of
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-admin-bar/pull/13. This will
suppress the React 19 warnings on install within the website templates
and various examples that rely on this package.
This update improves the `Environment Info` section in the issue
template by asking users to provide exact version numbers instead of
"latest."
This ensures that bug reports remain accurate and useful over time.
### What?
CheckListFeature is noted in the documentation. However, the package
uses ChecklistFeature
Rather than changing the package, this would be better.
This PR adds a new `limit` property to `payload.db.updateMany`. This functionality is required for [migrating our job system to use faster, direct db adapter calls](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11489)
- Ensures website templates build without eslint errors
- Upgrades all templates from Next.js 15.1.5 to 15.2.0
- Bumps all payload versions, updates all lockfiles to reference latest payload versions. The blank template was still installing 3.17.1 and the website template was installing 3.18.0
- Simplifies defaultLexical.ts
Our previous `RichTextWithoutBlocks` import alias was confusing - this PR changes it to `ConvertRichText`. This should make it clear that that's the imported RichText component that performs the editor state => JSX conversion
Our `no-imports-from-self` eslint rule was supposed to cache the package.json name to ensure it doesn't try to find and read the package.json for every single import statement.
Turns out that cache was never used. Credits to @etrepum for [finding this issue](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/7272#discussion_r1976666227)
This PR exports a new `editorConfigFactory` that provides multiple standardized ways to retrieve the editor configuration needed for the Lexical editor.
## Why this is needed
Getting the editor config is required for converting the lexical editor state into/from different formats, as it's needed to create a headless editor. While we're moving away from requiring headless editor instantiation for common format conversions, some conversion types and other use cases still require it.
Currently, retrieving the editor config is cumbersome - you either need an existing field to extract it from or the payload config to create it from scratch, with multiple approaches for each method.
## What this PR does
The `editorConfigFactory` consolidates all possible ways to retrieve the editor config into a single factory with clear methods:
```ts
editorConfigFactory.default()
editorConfigFactory.fromField()
editorConfigFactory.fromUnsanitizedField()
editorConfigFactory.fromFeatures()
editorConfigFactory.fromEditor()
```
This results in less code, simpler implementation, and improved developer experience. The PR also adds documentation for all retrieval methods.
The "where" builder maintains its own duplicative state for conditions.
This is problematic when an outside force needs to control the
conditions in some way, but the "where" builder will not receive those
updates.
While it is a requirement of the "where" builder to transform the
"where" query into "and" / "or" format for rendering, it does so in a
way that causes it to become out of sync with the query provider. This
is because we first initialize state from context, then for every change
to conditions, report those updates to contexts—but not the other way
around.
To fix this, we need to completely remove state from the "where" builder
and solely rely on the query context as a single source of truth. This
will allow it to receive automatic updates from query provider without
needing to sync both local state and context simultaneously. Now, we
only ever need to send updates to the query provider and let the
top-down rendering cycle propagate those changes everywhere.
Previously, lexical blocks initialized a new `Form` component that rendered as `<form>` in the DOM. This may lead to React errors, as forms nested within forms is not valid HTML.
This PR changes them to render as `<div>` in the DOM instead.
When the join field is used, Payload now automatically adds an index on
the target relationship field.
For example:
```
{
name: 'relatedPosts',
type: 'join',
collection: "posts",
on: 'category',
},
{
name: 'category',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: "categories",
},
```
Here, `index: true` implicitly added to the `category` relationship
field during sanitization to improve querying performance.
Migrates the `db-mongodb` package to use `strict: true` and
`noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true` TSConfig properties.
This greatly improves code quality and prevents some runtime errors or
gives better error messages.
When bulk editing an auth-enabled collection such as users, a
client-side exception is thrown. This is because we're trying to access
the `disableBulkEdit` property on `undefined`. This is due to hidden,
auth-specific fields like `salt` and `hash` lacking an admin config.
No test is explicitly needed for this as `"strictNullChecks": true` will
throw an error at compile time, once enabled.
### What?
Fixes client uploads when storage collection config has the `prefix`
property configured. Previously, it failed with "Object key was not
found".
### Why?
This is expected to work.
### How?
The client upload handler now receives to its props `prefix`. Then it
threads it to the server-side `staticHandler` through
`clientUploadContext` and then to `getFilePrefix`, which checks for
`clientUploadContext.prefix` and returns if there is.
Previously, `staticHandler` tried to load the file without including
prefix consideration.
This changes only these adapters:
* S3
* Azure
* GCS
With the Vercel Blob adapter, `prefix` works correctly.
This fixes an issue where the active collection nav item was
non-clickable inside documents. Now, it remains clickable when viewing a
document, allowing users to return to the list view from the nav items
in the sidebar.
The active state indicator still appears in both cases.
The `req.url` property at the page level was not reflective of the
actual URL on localhost. This was because we were passing an
incompatible `url` override into `createLocalReq` (lacking protocol).
This would silently fail to construct the URL object, ultimately losing
the top-level domain on `req.url` as well as the port on `req.origin`
(see #11454).
Closes#11448.
This adds new `payload.jobs.cancel` and `payload.jobs.cancelByID` methods that allow you to cancel already-running jobs, or prevent queued jobs from running.
While it's not possible to cancel a function mid-execution, this will stop job execution the next time the job makes a request to the db, which happens after every task.
### What?
The `locale selector` in the version comparison view shows all locales
on first load. It does not accomodate the `filterAvailableLocales`
option and shows locales which should be filtered.
### How?
Pass the initial locales through the `filterAvailableLocales` function.
Closes#11408
#### Testing
Use test suite `localization` and the `localized-drafts` collection.
Test added to `test/localization/e2e`.
The `req.origin` property on the `PayloadRequest` object does not
include the port when running on localhost, a requirement of the [HTML
Living Standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#origin). This was because
we were initializing the url with a fallback of `http://localhost` (no
port). When constructed via `new URL()`, the port is unable to be
extracted. This is fixed by using the `host` property off the headers
object, if it exists, which includes the port.
Partial fix for #11448.
This PR significantly improves performance when navigating through the admin panel by reducing the number of times `initReq` is called. Previously, `initReq`—which handles expensive tasks like initializing Payload and running access control—was called **three times** for a single page load (for the root layout, the root page, and the notFound page).
We initially tried to use React Cache to ensure `initReq` only ran once per request. However, because React Cache performs a shallow object reference check on function arguments, the configuration object we passed (`configPromise`) and the `overrides` object never maintained the same reference, causing the cache to miss.
### What’s Changed
* **New `getInitReqContainer` Helper**
We introduced a helper that provides a stable object reference throughout the entire request. This allows React to properly cache the output, ensuring `initReq` doesn’t get triggered multiple times by mistake.
* **Splitting `initReq` into Two Functions**
The `initReq` logic was split into:
* **`initPartialReq`:** Runs only **once** per request, handling tasks that do not depend on page-level data (e.g., calling `.auth`, which performs a DB request).
* **`initReq`:** Runs **twice** (once for Layout+NotFound page and once for main page), handling tasks, most notably access control, that rely on page-level data such as locale or query parameters. The NotFound page will share the same req as the layout page, as it's not localized, and its access control wouldn't need to access page query / url / locale, just like the layout.
* **Remove duplicative logic**
* Previously, a lot of logic was run in **both** `initReq` **and** the respective page / layout. This was completely unnecessary, as `initReq` was already running that logic. This PR returns the calculated variables from `initReq`, so they don't have to be duplicatively calculated again.
### Performance Gains
* Previously:
* `.auth` call ran **3 times**
* Access control ran **3 times**
* Now:
* `.auth` call runs **1 time**
* Access control runs **2 times**
This change yields a noticeable performance improvement by cutting down on redundant work.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9767
We allow failing a job queue task by returning `{ state: 'failed' }` from the task, instead of throwing an error. However, previously, this threw an error when trying to update the task in the database. Additionally, it was not possible to customize the error message.
This PR fixes that by letting you return `errorMessage` alongside `{ state: 'failed' }`, and by ensuring the error is transformed into proper json before saving it to the `error` column.
