### What?
The admin panel was not respecting where constraints returned from the
readAccess function.
### Why?
`getEntityPolicies` was always using `find` when looping over the
operations, but `readVersions` should be using `findVersions`.
### How?
When the operation is `readVersions` run the `findVersions` operation.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11240
### What?
When you first edit a document and then open the Schedule publish
drawer, you can schedule publish changes but the current changes made to
the form won't be included.
### Why?
The UX does not make it clear that the changes you have in the form are
not actually going to be published.
### How?
Instead of allowing that we just disable the Schedule Publish drawer
toggler so that users are forced to save a draft first.
In addition to the above, this change also passes a defaultType so that
an already published document will default the radio type have
"Unpublish" selected.
Restoring a version has two types of messages, success and error, but no
matter if this action is a success or a failure, the toast message is
never displayed.
The fix is to import the toast from `@payloadcms/ui` instead of `sonner`
directly.
Fixes#11059
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10962
This fix addresses fields with timezones enabled specifically for not
time pickers. If all you want to do is pick a date such as 14th Feb, it
would store the incorrect version and display a date in the future for
people in the Pacific.
This is because Auckland is +12 offset, but +13 with Daylight Savings
Time. In our date picker we try to normalise date pickers with no time
to 12pm and so half the year we ended up pushing dates visually to the
next day for people in the pacific only. Other regions were not affected
by this because their offset would be less than 12.
This PR fixes this by ensuring that our dates are always normalised to
selected timezone's 12pm date to UTC.
There's also additional tests for these two fields from 3 main locations
to cover a wider range of possible timezones.
Just like https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11269, we stop
passing through `req` to db operations in `checkDocumentLockStatus`.
After extensive testing, this seems to get rid of all transaction errors
that occurred when I was testing autosave against a remote mongo DB.
Removes unnecessary callback args from the `onConfirm` callback in the
new `ConfirmationModal` component. Now, the component will close and
reset `isConfirming` state for itself.
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>
)
}
```
## Change 1 - database errors when running autosave
The previous autosave implementation allowed multiple autosave fetch
calls (=> save document draft) to run in parallel. While the
AbortController aborted previous autosave calls if a new one comes in in
order to only process the latest one, this had one flaw:
Using the AbortController to abort the autosave call only aborted the
`fetch` call - it did not however abort the database operation that may
have started as part of this fetch call. If you then started a new
autosave call, this will start yet another database operation on the
backend, resulting in two database operations that would be running at
the same time.
This has caused a lot of transaction errors that were only noticeable
when connected to a slower, remote database. This PR removes the
AbortController and ensures that the previous autosave operation is
properly awaited before starting a new one, while still discarding
outdated autosave requests from the queue **that have not started yet**.
Additionally, it cleans up the AutoSave component to make it more
readable.
## Change 2 - ensure autosave doesn't run unnecessarily
If connected to a slower backend or database, one change in a document
may trigger two autosave operations instead of just one. This is how it
could happen:
1. Type something => formstate changes => autosave is triggered
2. 200ms later: form state request is triggered. Autosave is still
processing
3. 100ms later: form state comes back from server => local form state is
updated => another autosave is triggered
4. First autosave is aborted - this lead to a browser error. This PR
ensures that that error is no longer surfaced to the user
5. Another autosave is started
This PR adds additional checks to ONLY trigger an autosave if the form
DATA (not the entire form state itself) changes. Previously, it ran
every time the object reference of the form state changes. This includes
changes that do not affect the form data, like `field.valid`. =>
Basically every time form state comes back from the server, we were
triggering another, unnecessary autosave
Not passing through `req` ensures that the db operations in
`handleFormStateLocking` run independently, preventing them from being
part of the same transaction. Since locked document operations don't
really require transactional consistency, this change helps avoid
unnecessary transaction errors that have previously occurred here.
In the `findOne` db operation, we return `null` if the document was not
found.
For single-document delete and update operations, if the document you
wanted to update is not found, the following runtime error is thrown
instead: `Cannot read properties of null (reading '_id')`.
This PR correctly handles these cases and returns `null` from the db
method, just like the `findOne` operation.
This feature allows you to specify `collection` for the join field as
array.
This can be useful for example to describe relationship linking like
this:
```ts
{
slug: 'folders',
fields: [
{
type: 'join',
on: 'folder',
collection: ['files', 'documents', 'folders'],
name: 'children',
},
{
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'folders',
name: 'folder',
},
],
},
{
slug: 'files',
upload: true,
fields: [
{
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'folders',
name: 'folder',
},
],
},
{
slug: 'documents',
fields: [
{
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'folders',
name: 'folder',
},
],
},
```
Documents and files can be placed to folders and folders themselves can
be nested to other folders (root folders just have `folder` as `null`).
Output type of `Folder`:
```ts
export interface Folder {
id: string;
children?: {
docs?:
| (
| {
relationTo?: 'files';
value: string | File;
}
| {
relationTo?: 'documents';
value: string | Document;
}
| {
relationTo?: 'folders';
value: string | Folder;
}
)[]
| null;
hasNextPage?: boolean | null;
} | null;
folder?: (string | null) | Folder;
updatedAt: string;
createdAt: string;
}
```
While you could instead have many join fields (for example
`childrenFolders`, `childrenFiles`) etc - this doesn't allow you to
sort/filter and paginate things across many collections, which isn't
trivial. With SQL we use `UNION ALL` query to achieve that.

### What?
Previously, in postgres query like:
```ts
const result = await payload.find({
collection: 'blocks',
where: { 'blocks.director.name': { equals: 'Test Director' } },
})
```
where `blocks` is a blocks field, `director` is a relationship field and
`name` is a text field inside `directors`, failed with:

### Why?
The generated query before was a bit wrong.
Before:
```sql
select distinct
"blocks"."id",
"blocks"."created_at",
"blocks"."created_at"
from
"blocks"
left join "directors" "a5ad426a_eda4_4067_af7e_5b294d7f0968" on "a5ad426a_eda4_4067_af7e_5b294d7f0968"."id" = "blocks_blocks_some"."director_id"
left join "blocks_blocks_some" on "blocks"."id" = "blocks_blocks_some"."_parent_id"
where
"a5ad426a_eda4_4067_af7e_5b294d7f0968"."name" = 'Test Director'
order by
"blocks"."created_at" desc
limit
10
```
Notice `left join directors` _before_ join of `blocks_blocks_some`.
`blocks_blocks_some` doesn't exist yet, this PR changes so now we
generate
```sql
select distinct
"blocks"."id",
"blocks"."created_at",
"blocks"."created_at"
from
"blocks"
left join "blocks_blocks_some" on "blocks"."id" = "blocks_blocks_some"."_parent_id"
left join "directors" "a5ad426a_eda4_4067_af7e_5b294d7f0968" on "a5ad426a_eda4_4067_af7e_5b294d7f0968"."id" = "blocks_blocks_some"."director_id"
where
"a5ad426a_eda4_4067_af7e_5b294d7f0968"."name" = 'Test Director'
order by
"blocks"."created_at" desc
limit
10
```

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10492
This PR fixes a few weird behaviours when `validate: true` is set on drafts:
- when autosave is on and you submit an invalid form it would get stuck in an infinite loop
- PreventLeave would not trigger for submitted but invalid forms leading to potential data loss
Changes:
- Adds e2e tests for the above scenarios
- Adds a new `isValid` flag on the `Form` context provider to signal globally if the form is in a valid or invalid state
- Components like Autosave will manage this internally since it manages its own submission flow as well
- Adds PreventLeave to Autosave too for when form is invalid meaning data hasn't been actually saved so we want to prevent the user accidentally losing data by reloading or closing the page
The following tests have been added

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.
This PR optimizes permissions calculation for block references, by
calculating them only once per block reference config, instead of once
every single time the blocks are referenced.
This will lead to significant performance improvements in Payload
Configs with a lot of duplicative block references, as permissions are
calculated every time you navigate from page to page.

### What?
This PR adds missing languages to `plugin-seo` that are supported in
Payload but were not ported to the plugin.
### Why?
To properly translate the custom keys added by the plugin in all
languages currently supported.
### How?
By adding the missing languages and exporting them for use.
Addresses #11201
### 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
Currently, the join field outputs to its result `hasNextPage: boolean`
and have the `limit` query parameter but lacks `page` which can be
useful. This PR adds it.
### 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.

Previously, we forgot to add `depth: 0` to our `findGlobal` call in `getEntityPolicies`. This PR adds `depth: 0` which will be faster.
It also cleans up the `getEntityPolicies` function in general by adding missing types, JSDocs and improving code readability.
This was part of https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11236 and has been extracted into this separate PR, to make it easier to review
### 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.
Screenshot showing that the upload controls are not available on create:

Screenshot showing hideRemoveFile has removed the ability to remove the
existing file:

Prerequisite for https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10795
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 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
This PR exports them from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/client`
### 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`

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.

### 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.

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)
Fixes#11163
