chore(release): v3.0.0-beta.49 [skip ci]

# Breaking Changes

### New file import locations

Exports from the `payload` package have been _significantly_ cleaned up.
Now, just about everything is able to be imported from `payload`
directly, rather than an assortment of subpath exports. This means that
things like `import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'` are now just
imported via `import { buildConfig } from 'payload'`. The mental model
is significantly simpler for developers, but you might need to update
some of your imports.

Payload now exposes only three exports:

1. `payload` - all types and server-only Payload code
2. `payload/shared` - utilities that can be used in either the browser
or in Node environments
3. `payload/node` - heavy utilities that should only be imported in Node
scripts and never be imported into bundled code like Next.js

### UI library pre-bundling

With this release, we've dramatically sped up the compile time for
Payload by pre-bundling our entire UI package for use inside of the
Payload admin itself. There are new exports that should be used within
Payload custom components:

1. `@payloadcms/ui/client` - all client components 
2. `@payloadcms/ui/server` - all server components

For all of your custom Payload admin UI components, you should be
importing from one of these two pre-compiled barrel files rather than
importing from the more deeply nested exports directly. That will keep
compile times nice and speedy, and will also make sure that the bundled
JS for your admin UI is kept small.

For example, whereas before, if you imported the Payload `Button`, you
would have imported it like this:

```ts
import { Button } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/Button'
```

Now, you would import it like this:

```ts
import { Button } from '@payloadcms/ui/client'
```

This is a significant DX / performance optimization that we're pretty
pumped about.

However, if you are importing or re-using Payload UI components
_outside_ of the Payload admin UI, for example in your own frontend
apps, you can import from the individual component exports which will
make sure that the bundled JS is kept to a minimum in your frontend
apps. So in your own frontend, you can continue to import directly to
the components that you want to consume rather than importing from the
pre-compiled barrel files.

Individual component exports will now come with their corresponding CSS
and everything will work perfectly as-expected.

### Specific exports have changed

- `'@payloadcms/ui/templates/Default'` and
`'@payloadcms/ui/templates/Minimal`' are now exported from
`'@payloadcms/next/templates'`
- Old: `import { LogOut } from '@payloadcms/ui/icons/LogOut'` new:
`import { LogOutIcon } from '@payloadcms/ui/icons/LogOut'`

## Background info

In effort to make local dev as fast as possible, we need to import as
few files as possible so that the compiler has less to process. One way
we've achieved this in the Admin Panel was to _remove_ all .scss imports
from all components in the `@payloadcms/ui` module using a build
process. This stripped all `import './index.scss'` statements out of
each component before injecting them into `dist`. Instead, it bundles
all of the CSS into a single `main.css` file, and we import _that_ at
the root of the app.

While this concept is _still_ the right solution to the problem, this
particular approach is not viable when using these components outside
the Admin Panel, where not only does this root stylesheet not exist, but
where it would also bloat your app with unused styles. Instead, we need
to _keep_ these .scss imports in place so they are imported directly
alongside your components, as expected. Then, we need create a _new_
build step that _separately_ compiles the components _without_ their
stylesheets—this way your app can consume either as needed from the new
`client` and `server` barrel files within `@payloadcms/ui`, i.e. from
within `@payloadcms/next` and all other admin-specific packages and
plugins.

This way, all other applications will simply import using the direct
file paths, just as they did before. Except now they come with
stylesheets.

And we've gotten a pretty awesome initial compilation performance boost.

+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES: @payloadcms/richtext-lexical
+
+* **richtext-lexical:** Update lexical from 0.12.6 to 0.13.1, port over all useful changes from playground (#5066)
+
+- You HAVE to make sure that any versions of the lexical packages (IF you have any installed) match the lexical version which richtext-lexical uses: v0.13.1. If you do not do this, you may be plagued by React useContext / "cannot find active editor state" errors
+- Updates to lexical's API, e.g. the removal of INTERNAL_isPointSelection, could be breaking depending on your code. Please consult the [lexical changelog](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md).

+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+#### @payloadcms/richtext-lexical
+
+* **richtext-lexical:** rename TreeviewFeature into TreeViewFeature ([#4520](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/4520)) ([c49fd66](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/c49fd6692231b68ca61b079103a0fd7aa4673be1))
+
+If you import TreeviewFeature, you have to rename the import to use TreeViewFeature (capitalized "V")
+
+* **richtext-lexical:** link node: change doc data format to be consistent with relationship field ([#4504](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/4504)) ([cc0ba89](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/cc0ba895188f40181c6ba3779f66d547d4ea66f9))
+
+An unpopulated, internal link node no longer saves the doc id under fields.doc.value.id. Now, it saves it under fields.doc.value.
+Migration inside of payload is automatic. If you are reading from the link node inside of your frontend though, you will have to adjust it.
+
+* **richtext-lexical:** improve floating select menu Dropdown classNames ([#4444](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/4444)) ([9331204](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/9331204295bfeaf7dd10bc075f42995b2cab2de4))
+
+Dropdown component has a new mandatory sectionKey prop
+
+* **richtext-lexical:** lazy import React components to prevent client-only code from leaking into the server ([#4290](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/4290)) ([5de347f](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/5de347ffffca3bf38315d3d87d2ccc5c28cd2723))
+
+1. Most important: If you are updating `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical` to v0.4.0 or higher, you will HAVE to update payload to the latest version as well. If you don't update it, payload likely won't start up due to validation errors. It's generally good practice to upgrade packages prefixed with @payloadcms/ together with payload and keep the versions in sync.
+
+2. `@payloadcms/richtext-slate` is not affected by this.
+
+3. Every single property in the `Feature` interface which accepts a React component now no longer accepts a React component, but a function which imports a React component instead. This is done to ensure no unnecessary client-only code is leaked to the server when importing Features on a server.
+Here's an example migration:
+
+Old:
+
+```ts
+import { BlockIcon } from '../../lexical/ui/icons/Block'
+...
+Icon: BlockIcon,
+```
+
+New:
+
+```ts
+// import { BlockIcon } from '../../lexical/ui/icons/Block' // <= Remove this import
+...
+Icon: () =>
+  // @ts-expect-error
+  import('../../lexical/ui/icons/Block').then((module) => module.BlockIcon),
+```
+
+Or alternatively, if you're using default exports instead of named exports:
+
+```ts
+// import BlockIcon from '../../lexical/ui/icons/Block' // <= Remove this import
+...
+Icon: () =>
+  // @ts-expect-error
+  import('../../lexical/ui/icons/Block'),
+```
+
+4. The types for `SanitizedEditorConfig` and `EditorConfig` have changed. Their respective `lexical` property no longer expects the `LexicalEditorConfig`. It now expects a function returning the `LexicalEditorConfig`. You will have to adjust this if you adjusted that property anywhere, e.g. when initializing the lexical field editor property, or when initializing a new headless editor.
+
+5. The following exports are now exported from the `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/components` subpath exports instead of `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical`:
+
+- `ToolbarButton`
+- `ToolbarDropdown`
+- `RichTextCell`
+- `RichTextField`
+- `defaultEditorLexicalConfig`
+
+You will have to adjust your imports, only if you import any of those properties in your project.

 The Payload Admin UI responds dynamically to the access control that you define. For example, if you restrict editing a `ExampleCollection` to only users that feature a `role` of `admin`, the Payload Admin UI will **hide** the `ExampleCollection` from the Admin UI entirely. This is super powerful and allows you to control who can do what with your Admin UI.
 
 To accomplish this, Payload ships with an `Access` operation, which is executed when a user logs into the Admin UI. Payload will execute each one of your access control functions, across all collections, globals, and fields, at the top level and return a response that contains a reflection of what the currently authenticated user can do with your application.

-Payload has two official bundlers, the [Webpack Bundler](/docs/admin/webpack) and the [Vite Bundler](/docs/admin/vite). You must install a bundler to use the admin panel.
-
-##### Install a bundler
-

-

-Vite (beta):
-

-  // highlight-end
-})

-
-### What are bundlers?
-
-At their core, a bundler's main goal is to take a bunch of files and turn them into a few optimized files that you ship to the browser. The admin UI has a root `index.html` entry point, and from there the bundler traverses the dependency tree, bundling all of the files that are required from that point on.
-
-Since the bundled file is sent to the browser, it can't include any server-only code. You will need to remove any server-only code from your admin UI before bundling it. You can learn more about [excluding server code](/docs/admin/excluding-server-code) section.
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  <strong>Using environment variables in the admin UI</strong>
-  <br />
-  Bundles should not contain sensitive information. By default, Payload
-  excludes env variables from the bundle. If you need to use env variables in your payload config,
-  you need to prefix them with `PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_` to make them available to the client-side code.

-| Property           | Description                                                                                                                  |
-| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`Component`** \* | Pass in the component that should be rendered when a user navigates to this route.                                           |
-| **`path`** \*      | React Router `path`. [See the React Router docs](https://v5.reactrouter.com/web/api/Route/path-string-string) for more info. |
-| **`exact`**        | React Router `exact` property. [More](https://v5.reactrouter.com/web/api/Route/exact-bool)                                   |
-| **`strict`**       | React Router `strict` property. [More](https://v5.reactrouter.com/web/api/Route/strict-bool)                                 |
-| **`sensitive`**    | React Router `sensitive` property. [More](https://v5.reactrouter.com/web/api/Route/sensitive-bool)                           |

-_\* An asterisk denotes that a property is required._
-
-#### Adding new views
-
-To add a _new_ view to the Admin Panel, simply add another key to the `views` object with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
-
-```ts
-// payload.config.ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    components: {
-      views: {
-        MyCustomView: {
-          Component: MyCustomView,
-          path: '/my-custom-view',
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  <strong>Note:</strong>
-  <br />
-  Routes are cascading. This means that unless explicitly given the `exact` property, they will match on URLs that simply _start_ with the route's path. This is helpful when creating catch-all routes in your application. Alternatively, you could define your nested route _before_ your parent route.

-#### Collection views
-
-To swap out entire views on collections, you can use the `admin.components.views` property on the collection's config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
-
-| Property           | Description                                                                                                                  |

-| **`List`**         | The List view is used to show a list of documents for a given collection.                                                    |
-
-To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. This will replace the entire view, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc, _as well as all nested routes_.
-
-```ts
-// Collection.ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    components: {
-      views: {

-**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Collections**
-
-The `Edit` view in collections consists of several nested views, each serving a unique purpose. You can customize these nested views using the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the collection's configuration. This approach allows you to replace specific nested views while keeping the overall structure of the `Edit` view intact, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc.
-
-Here's an example of how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in collections, including the use of the `actions` property:
-
-```ts
-// Collection.ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    components: {
-      views: {
-        Edit: {
-          Default: {
-            Component: MyCustomDefaultTab,
-            actions: [CollectionEditButton], // Custom actions for the default edit view
-          },
-          API: {
-            Component: MyCustomAPIView,
-            actions: [CollectionAPIButton], // Custom actions for API view
-          },
-          LivePreview: {
-            Component: MyCustomLivePreviewView,

-
-Similar to collections, Globals allow for detailed customization within the `Edit` view. This includes the ability to swap specific nested views while maintaining the overall structure of the `Edit` view. You can use the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the Globals configuration to achieve this, and this will only replace the nested view, leaving the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs intact.
-
-Here's how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in Globals, including the use of the `actions` property:

-
-### Custom Tabs
-
-You can easily swap individual collection or global edit views. To do this, pass an _object_ to the `admin.components.views.Edit` property of the config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
-
-| Property           | Description                                                                                                                  |
-| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`Default`**      | The Default view is the primary view in which your document is edited.                                                       |
-| **`Versions`**     | The Versions view is used to view the version history of a single document. [More details](../versions)                      |
-| **`Version`**      | The Version view is used to view a single version of a single document for a given collection. [More details](../versions).  |
-| **`API`**          | The API view is used to display the REST API JSON response for a given document.                                             |
-| **`LivePreview`**  | The LivePreview view is used to display the Live Preview interface. [More details](../live-preview)                          |
-
-Here is an example:
-
-```ts
-// Collection.ts or Global.ts

-
-To add a _new_ tab to the `Edit` view, simply add another key to `components.views.Edit[key]` with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:

-
-### Building a custom view component
-
-Your custom view components will be given all the props that a React Router `<Route />` typically would receive, as well as two props from Payload:
-
-| Prop                    | Description                                                                  |
-| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`user`**              | The currently logged in user. Will be `null` if no user is logged in.        |
-| **`canAccessAdmin`** \* | If the currently logged in user is allowed to access the admin panel or not. |
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  <strong>Note:</strong>
-  <br />
-  It's up to you to secure your custom views. If your view requires a user to be logged in or to
-  have certain access rights, you should handle that within your view component yourself.
-</Banner>
-
-#### Example
-
-You can find examples of custom views in the [Payload source code `/test/admin/components/views` folder](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/test/admin/components/views). There, you'll find two custom views:
-
-1. A custom view that uses the `DefaultTemplate`, which is the built-in Payload template that displays the sidebar and "eyebrow nav"
-1. A custom view that uses the `MinimalTemplate` - which is just a centered template used for things like logging in or out
-
-To see how to pass in your custom views to create custom views of your own, take a look at the `admin.components.views` property of the [Payload test admin config](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/test/admin/config.ts).
-
-### Fields
-
-All Payload fields support the ability to swap in your own React components. So, for example, instead of rendering a default Text input, you might need to render a color picker that provides the editor with a custom color picker interface to restrict the data entered to colors only.
-
-<Banner type="success">
-  <strong>Tip:</strong>
-  <br />
-  Don't see a built-in field type that you need? Build it! Using a combination of custom validation
-  and custom components, you can override the entirety of how a component functions within the admin
-  panel and effectively create your own field type.
-</Banner>
-
-**Fields support the following custom components:**
-
-| Component    | Description                                                                                                                 |
-| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`Filter`** | Override the text input that is presented in the `List` view when a user is filtering documents by the customized field.    |
-| **`Cell`**   | Used in the `List` view's table to represent a table-based preview of the data stored in the field. [More](#cell-component) |
-| **`Field`**  | Swap out the field itself within all `Edit` views. [More](#field-component)                                                 |
-
-As an alternative to replacing the entire Field component, you may want to keep the majority of the default Field component and only swap components within. This allows you to replace the **`Label`** or **`Error`** within a field component or add additional components inside the field with **`beforeInput`** or **`afterInput`**. **`beforeInput`** and **`afterInput`** are allowed in any fields that don't contain other fields, except [UI](/docs/fields/ui) and [Rich Text](/docs/fields/rich-text).
-
-| Component         | Description                                                                                                     |
-| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`Label`**       | Override the default Label in the Field Component. [More](#label-component)                                     |
-| **`Error`**       | Override the default Label in the Field Component. [More](#error-component)                                     |
-| **`beforeInput`** | An array of elements that will be added before `input`/`textarea` elements. [More](#afterinput-and-beforeinput) |
-| **`afterInput`**  | An array of elements that will be added after `input`/`textarea` elements. [More](#afterinput-and-beforeinput)  |
-
-## Cell Component
-

-title: Excluding server-only code from admin UI
-label: Excluding server code
-order: 70
-desc: Learn how to exclude server-only code from the Payload Admin UI bundle
----
-
-Because the Admin Panel browser bundle includes your Payload Config file, files using server-only modules need to be excluded.
-It's common for your config to rely on server only modules to perform logic in access control functions, hooks, and other contexts.
-
-Any file that imports a server-only module such as `fs`, `stripe`, `authorizenet`, `nodemailer`, etc. **cannot** be included in the browser bundle.
-
-#### Example Scenario
-
-Say we have a collection called `Subscriptions` that has a `beforeChange` hook that creates a Stripe subscription whenever a Subscription document is created in Payload.
-
-**Collection config**:
-
-```ts
-// collections/Subscriptions/index.ts
-
-import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
-import createStripeSubscription from './hooks/createStripeSubscription'
-
-export const Subscription: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'subscriptions',
-  hooks: {
-    beforeChange: [createStripeSubscription],
-  },
-  fields: [
-    {
-      name: 'stripeSubscriptionID',
-      type: 'text',
-      required: true,
-    },
-  ],
-}
-```
-
-**Collection hook**:
-
-```ts
-// collections/Subscriptions/hooks/createStripeSubscription.ts
-
-// highlight-start
-import Stripe from 'stripe' // <-- server-only module
-// highlight-end
-
-const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY)
-
-export const createStripeSubscription = async ({ data, operation }) => {
-  if (operation === 'create') {
-    const dataWithStripeID = { ...data }
-
-    // use Stripe to create a Stripe subscription
-    const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
-      // Configure the subscription accordingly
-    })
-
-    // Automatically add the Stripe subscription ID
-    // to the data that will be saved to this Subscription doc
-    dataWithStripeID.stripeSubscriptionID = subscription.id
-
-    return dataWithStripeID
-  }
-
-  return data
-}
-```
-
-<Banner type="error">
-  <strong>Warning:</strong>
-  <br />
-  The above code is NOT production-ready and should not be referenced to create Stripe
-  subscriptions. Although creating a beforeChange hook is a completely valid spot to do things like
-  create subscriptions, the code above is incomplete and insecure, meant for explanation purposes
-  only.
-</Banner>
-
-**As-is, this collection will prevent your Admin panel from bundling or loading correctly, because Stripe relies on some Node-only packages.**
-
-#### How to fix this
-
-You need to make sure that you use `alias`es to tell your bundler to import "safe" files vs. attempting to import any server-side code that you need to get rid of. Depending on your bundler (Webpack, Vite, etc.) the steps involved may be slightly different.
-
-The basic idea is to create a file that exports an empty object, and then alias import paths of any files that import server-only modules to that empty object file.
-
-This way when your bundler goes to import a file that contains server-only modules, it will instead import the empty object file, which will not break the browser bundle.
-
-### Aliasing server-only modules
-
-To remove files that contain server-only modules from your bundle, you can use an `alias`.
-
-In the Subscriptions config file above, we are importing the hook like so:
-
-```ts
-// collections/Subscriptions/index.ts
-
-import createStripeSubscription from './hooks/createStripeSubscription'
-```
-
-By default the browser bundle will now include all the code from that file and any files down the tree. We know that the file imports `stripe`.
-
-To fix this, we need to alias the `createStripeSubscription` file to a different file that can safely be included in the browser bundle.
-
-First, we will create a mock file to replace the server-only file when bundling:
-```js
-// mocks/modules.js
-
-export default {}
-
-/**
- * NOTE: if you are destructuring an import
- * the mock file will need to export matching
- * variables as the destructured object.
- *
- * export const namedExport = {}
- */
-```
-
-Aliasing with [Webpack](/docs/admin/webpack) can be done by:
-
-```ts
-// payload.config.ts
-
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'

+All Payload fields support the ability to swap in your own React components. So, for example, instead of rendering a default Text input, you might need to render a color picker that provides the editor with a custom color picker interface to restrict the data entered to colors only.
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  <strong>Tip:</strong>
+  <br />
+  Don't see a built-in field type that you need? Build it! Using a combination of custom validation
+  and custom components, you can override the entirety of how a component functions within the admin
+  panel and effectively create your own field type.
+</Banner>
+

+| **`Cell`**   | Used in the `List` view's table to represent a table-based preview of the data stored in the field. [More](#cell-component) |

+
+As an alternative to replacing the entire Field component, you may want to keep the majority of the default Field component and only swap components within. This allows you to replace the **`Label`** or **`Error`** within a field component or add additional components inside the field with **`beforeInput`** or **`afterInput`**. **`beforeInput`** and **`afterInput`** are allowed in any fields that don't contain other fields, except [UI](/docs/fields/ui) and [Rich Text](/docs/fields/rich-text).

 Payload provides a variety of powerful hooks that can be used within your own React components. With them, you can interface with Payload itself and build just about any type of complex customization you can think of—directly in familiar React code.

 There are times when a custom field component needs to have access to data from other fields, and you have a few options to do so. The `useFormFields` hook is a powerful and highly performant way to retrieve a form's field state, as well as to retrieve the `dispatchFields` method, which can be helpful for setting other fields' form states from anywhere within a form.

 The `useForm` hook can be used to interact with the form itself, and sends back many methods that can be used to reactively fetch form state without causing rerenders within your components each time a field is changed. This is useful if you have action-based callbacks that your components fire, and need to interact with form state _based on a user action_.

 ### Restricting user access
 
-If you would like to restrict which users from a single Collection can access the Admin panel, you can use the `admin` access control function. [Click here](/docs/access-control/overview#admin) to learn more.
+It is also possible to allow _multiple admin user types_ into the Admin Panel with limited permissions. To do this, add a `roles` or similar field to your auth-enabled Collection and use the `access.admin` property to limit access. See [Access Control](/docs/access-control/overview) for full details. For a working example, check out the [Auth Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/auth/payload).
+
+### I18n
+
+The Payload Admin Panel is translated in over 30 languages and counting. Languages are automatically detected based on the user's browser and all text displays in that language. If no language was detected, or if the user's language is not yet supported, English will be chosen. Users can easily specify their language by selecting one from their account page. See [I18n](../configuration/i18n) for more information.

+### Root
+
+You can easily swap entire views with your own by using the `admin.components.views` property. At the root level, Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
+
+| Property        | Description                                                                   |
+| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`Account`**   | The Account view is used to show the currently logged in user's Account page. |
+| **`Dashboard`** | The main landing page of the [Admin Panel](./overview).                                     |
+
+To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. For example:
+
+```ts
+// payload.config.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Account: MyCustomAccountView,
+        Dashboard: MyCustomDashboardView,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+For more granular control, pass a configuration object instead. Payload exposes the following properties for each view:
+
+| Property           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **`Component`** \* | Pass in the component that should be rendered when a user navigates to this route.                                                                                                         |
+| **`path`** \*      | Any valid URL path or array of paths that [`path-to-regexp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/path-to-regex) understands.                                                                     |
+| **`exact`**        | Boolean. When true, will only match if the path matches the `usePathname()` exactly.                                                                                                     |
+| **`strict`**       | When true, a path that has a trailing slash will only match a location.pathname with a trailing slash. This has no effect when there are additional URL segments in the location.pathname. |
+| **`sensitive`**    | When true, will match if the path is case sensitive.                                                                                                                                       |
+
+_\* An asterisk denotes that a property is required._
+
+#### Adding new root views
+
+To add a _new_ view to the [Admin Panel](./overview), simply add another key to the `views` object with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
+
+```ts
+// payload.config.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        MyCustomView: {
+          Component: MyCustomView,
+          path: '/my-custom-view',
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Note:</strong>
+  <br />
+  Routes are cascading. This means that unless explicitly given the `exact` property, they will
+  match on URLs that simply _start_ with the route's path. This is helpful when creating catch-all
+  routes in your application. Alternatively, you could define your nested route _before_ your parent
+  route.

+
+### Collections
+
+To swap out entire views on collections, you can use the `admin.components.views` property on the collection's config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
+
+| Property   | Description                                                               |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`Edit`** | The Edit view is used to edit a single document for a given collection.   |
+| **`List`** | The List view is used to show a list of documents for a given collection. |
+
+To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. This will replace the entire view, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc, _as well as all nested routes_.
+
+```ts
+// Collection.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: MyCustomEditView,
+        List: MyCustomListView,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+For help on how to build your own custom view components, see [Building Custom View Components](#building-custom-view-components).
+
+**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Collections**
+
+The `Edit` view in collections consists of several nested views, each serving a unique purpose. You can customize these nested views using the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the collection's configuration. This approach allows you to replace specific nested views while keeping the overall structure of the `Edit` view intact, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc.
+
+Here's an example of how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in collections, including the use of the `actions` property:
+
+```ts
+// Collection.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: {
+          Default: {
+            Component: MyCustomDefaultTab,
+            actions: [CollectionEditButton], // Custom actions for the default edit view
+          },
+          API: {
+            Component: MyCustomAPIView,
+            actions: [CollectionAPIButton], // Custom actions for API view
+          },
+          LivePreview: {
+            Component: MyCustomLivePreviewView,
+            actions: [CollectionLivePreviewButton], // Custom actions for Live Preview
+          },
+          Version: {
+            Component: MyCustomVersionView,
+            actions: [CollectionVersionButton], // Custom actions for Version view
+          },
+          Versions: {
+            Component: MyCustomVersionsView,
+            actions: [CollectionVersionsButton], // Custom actions for Versions view
+          },
+        },
+        List: {
+          actions: [CollectionListButton],
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+**Adding New Tabs to 'Edit' View**
+
+You can also add _new_ tabs to the `Edit` view by adding another key to the `components.views.Edit[key]` object with a `path` and `Component` property. See [Custom Tabs](#custom-tabs) for more information.
+
+### Globals
+
+To swap out views for globals, you can use the `admin.components.views` property on the global's config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
+
+| Property   | Description                                                         |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`Edit`** | The Edit view is used to edit a single document for a given Global. |
+
+To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. This will replace the entire view, including the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs, _as well as all nested views_.
+
+```ts
+// Global.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: MyCustomEditView,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}

+
+**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Globals**
+
+Similar to collections, Globals allow for detailed customization within the `Edit` view. This includes the ability to swap specific nested views while maintaining the overall structure of the `Edit` view. You can use the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the Globals configuration to achieve this, and this will only replace the nested view, leaving the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs intact.
+
+Here's how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in Globals, including the use of the `actions` property:
+
+```ts
+// Global.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: {
+          Default: {
+            Component: MyCustomGlobalDefaultTab,
+            actions: [GlobalEditButton], // Custom actions for the default edit view
+          },
+          API: {
+            Component: MyCustomGlobalAPIView,
+            actions: [GlobalAPIButton], // Custom actions for API view
+          },
+          LivePreview: {
+            Component: MyCustomGlobalLivePreviewView,
+            actions: [GlobalLivePreviewButton], // Custom actions for Live Preview
+          },
+          Version: {
+            Component: MyCustomGlobalVersionView,
+            actions: [GlobalVersionButton], // Custom actions for Version view
+          },
+          Versions: {
+            Component: MyCustomGlobalVersionsView,
+            actions: [GlobalVersionsButton], // Custom actions for Versions view
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+You can also add _new_ tabs to the `Edit` view by adding another key to the `components.views.Edit[key]` object with a `path` and `Component` property. See [Custom Tabs](#custom-tabs) for more information.
+
+### Custom Tabs
+
+You can easily swap individual collection or global edit views. To do this, pass an _object_ to the `admin.components.views.Edit` property of the config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
+
+| Property          | Description                                                                                                                 |
+| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`Default`**     | The Default view is the primary view in which your document is edited.                                                      |
+| **`Versions`**    | The Versions view is used to view the version history of a single document. [More details](../versions)                     |
+| **`Version`**     | The Version view is used to view a single version of a single document for a given collection. [More details](../versions). |
+| **`API`**         | The API view is used to display the REST API JSON response for a given document.                                            |
+| **`LivePreview`** | The LivePreview view is used to display the Live Preview interface. [More details](../live-preview)                         |
+
+Here is an example:
+
+```ts
+// Collection.ts or Global.ts
+export const MyCollection: SanitizedCollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'my-collection',
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: {
+          // You can also define `components.views.Edit` as a component, this will override _all_ nested views
+          Default: MyCustomDefaultTab,
+          Versions: MyCustomVersionsTab,
+          Version: MyCustomVersionTab,
+          API: MyCustomAPITab,
+          LivePreview: MyCustomLivePreviewTab,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+To add a _new_ tab to the `Edit` view, simply add another key to `components.views.Edit[key]` with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
+
+```ts
+// `Collection.ts` or `Global.ts`
+export const MyCollection: SanitizedCollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'my-collection',
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: {
+          MyCustomTab: {
+            Component: MyCustomTab,
+            path: '/my-custom-tab',
+            // You an swap the entire tab component out for your own
+            Tab: MyCustomTab,
+          },
+          AnotherCustomView: {
+            Component: AnotherCustomView,
+            path: '/another-custom-view',
+            // Or you can use the default tab component and just pass in your own label and href
+            Tab: {
+              label: 'Another Custom View',
+              href: '/another-custom-view',
+            },
+          },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Building Custom View Components
+
+Your custom view components will be provided with the following props:
+
+| Prop                    | Description                                                                  |
+| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`user`**              | The currently logged in user. Will be `null` if no user is logged in.        |
+| **`canAccessAdmin`** \* | If the currently logged in user is allowed to access the [Admin Panel](./overview) or not. |
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Note:</strong>
+  <br />
+  It's up to you to secure your custom views. If your view requires a user to be logged in or to
+  have certain access rights, you should handle that within your view component yourself.
+</Banner>
+
+### Examples
+
+You can find examples of custom views in the [Payload source code `/test/admin/components/views` folder](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/test/admin/components/views). There, you'll find two custom views:
+
+1. A custom view that uses the `DefaultTemplate`, which is the built-in Payload template that displays the sidebar and "eyebrow nav"
+1. A custom view that uses the `MinimalTemplate` - which is just a centered template used for things like logging in or out
+
+To see how to pass in your custom views to create custom views of your own, take a look at the `admin.components.views` property of the [Payload test admin config](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/test/admin/config.ts).

-  The Vite bundler is currently in beta. If you would like to help us test this package, we'd love to hear from you if you find any [bugs or issues](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/)!
-</Banner>
-
-Payload has a Vite bundler that you can install and bundle the Admin Panel with. This is an alternative to the [Webpack](/docs/admin/webpack) bundler and might give some performance boosts to your development workflow.
-
-To use Vite as your bundler, first you need to install the package:
-
-```bash
-yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-vite
-```
-
-Then you will need to add the [bundler](/docs/admin/bundlers) to your Payload config:
-
-```ts
-import { buildConfig } from '@payloadcms/config'
-import { viteBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-vite'
-
-export default buildConfig({
-  collections: [],
-  admin: {
-    bundler: viteBundler(),
-  }
-})
-```
-
-Vite works fundamentally differently than Webpack. In development mode, it will first pre-bundle any of your dependencies that are CommonJS-only, and then it'll leverage ESM directly in your browser for a better HMR experience.
-
-It then uses Rollup to create production builds of your admin UI. With Vite, you should see a decent performance boost—especially after your first cold start. However, that first cold start might take a few more seconds.
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  In most cases, Vite should work out of the box. But existing Payload plugins may need to make compatibility changes to support Vite.
-</Banner>
-
-This is because Vite aliases work fundamentally differently than Webpack aliases, and Payload relies on aliasing server-only code out of the Payload config to ensure that the bundled admin JS works within your browser.
-
-Here are the main differences between how Vite aliases work and how Webpack aliases work.
-
-**Vite aliases do not work with absolute paths.**
-
-In Vite, alias keys must <strong>exactly match</strong> a import paths. If you have 2 files that import the same server-only module, but have different import paths, you would need to add 2 aliases to support both import paths.
-
-```ts
-// File A
-import serverOnlyModule from '../server-only-module'
-
-// File B
-import serverOnlyModule from '../../server-only-module'
-
-// payload.config.ts
-// You would need to add 2 aliases to support both import paths
-export const buildConfig({
-  collections: [],
-  admin: {
-    bundler: viteBundler(),
-    vite: (incomingViteConfig) => {
-      const existingAliases = incomingViteConfig?.resolve?.alias || {};
-      let aliasArray: { find: string | RegExp; replacement: string; }[] = [];
-
-      // Pass the existing Vite aliases
-      if (Array.isArray(existingAliases)) {
-        aliasArray = existingAliases;
-      } else {
-        aliasArray = Object.values(existingAliases);
-      }
-
-      // Add your own aliases using the find and replacement keys
-      aliasArray.push({
-        find: '../server-only-module',
-        replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, './path/to/browser-safe-module.js')
-        find: '../../server-only-module',
-        replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, './path/to/browser-safe-module.js')
-      });
-
-      return {
-        ...incomingViteConfig,
-        resolve: {
-          ...(incomingViteConfig?.resolve || {}),
-          alias: aliasArray,
-        }
-      };
-    },
-  }
-})
-```
-
-**Vite aliases do not get applied to pre-bundled dependencies.**
-
-This especially affects plugins, as plugins will be pre-bundled by Vite using `esbuild`. To get around this and support Vite, plugin authors need to configure an alias to their plugin at the top level, so that the alias will work accordingly.
-
-Here's an example. Say your plugin is called `payload-plugin-cool`. It's imported as follows:
-
-```ts
-import { myCoolPlugin } from 'payload-plugin-cool'
-```
-
-That plugin should create an alias to support Vite as follows:
-
-```ts
-{
-  // aliases go here
-  find: 'payload-plugin-cool',
-  replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, './my-admin-plugin.js')
-}
-
-```
-
-This will effectively alias the entire plugin and work with Vite. If the plugin requires admin-specific code, then the `./my-admin-plugin.js` alias target file should reflect any changes necessary to the admin UI that the main server-side plugin performs.
-
-### Extending the Vite config
-
-The Payload config supports a new property for plugins to be able to extend the Vite config specifically. That property exists on the main Payload config under `admin.vite`. You can check out the [Vite docs](https://vitejs.dev/config/shared-options.html) for more information on what you can do with the Vite config.
-
-It's a function that takes a Vite config, and returns an updated Vite config. Here's an example:
-
-```ts
-export const buildConfig({
-  collections: [],
-  admin: {
-    bundler: viteBundler(),
-    vite: (incomingViteConfig) => {
-      const existingAliases = incomingViteConfig?.resolve?.alias || {};
-      let aliasArray: { find: string | RegExp; replacement: string; }[] = [];
-
-      // Pass the existing Vite aliases
-      if (Array.isArray(existingAliases)) {
-        aliasArray = existingAliases;
-      } else {
-        aliasArray = Object.values(existingAliases);
-      }
-
-      // Add your own aliases using the find and replacement keys
-      aliasArray.push({
-        find: '../server-only-module',
-        replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, './path/to/browser-safe-module.js')
-      });
-
-      return {
-        ...incomingViteConfig,
-        resolve: {
-          ...(incomingViteConfig?.resolve || {}),
-          alias: aliasArray,
-        }
-      };
-    },
-  }
-})
-```
-
-Learn more about [aliasing server-only modules](https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/excluding-server-code#aliasing-server-only-modules).
-
-Even though there is a new property for Vite configs specifically, we have implemented some "compatibility" between Webpack and Vite out-of-the-box.
-
-If your config specifies Webpack aliases, we attempt to leverage them automatically within the Vite config. They are merged into the Vite alias configuration seamlessly and may work out-of-the-box.

 You can specify what data gets encoded to the JWT token by setting `saveToJWT` to true in your auth collection fields. If you wish to use a different key other than the field `name`, you can provide it to `saveToJWT` as a string. It is also possible to use `saveToJWT` on fields that are nested in inside groups and tabs. If a group has a `saveToJWT` set it will include the object with all sub-fields in the token. You can set `saveToJWT: false` for any fields you wish to omit. If a field inside a group has `saveToJWT` set, but the group does not, the field will be included at the top level of the token.

-### Admin Hooks
-
-In addition to collection hooks themselves, Payload provides for admin UI-specific hooks that you can leverage.
-
-**`beforeDuplicate`**
-
-The `beforeDuplicate` hook is an async function that accepts an object containing the data to duplicate, as well as the
-locale of the doc to duplicate. Within this hook, you can modify the data to be duplicated, which is useful in cases
-where you have unique fields that need to be incremented or similar, as well as if you want to automatically modify a
-document's `title`.
-
-Example:
-
-```ts
-import { BeforeDuplicate, CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
-// Your auto-generated Page type
-import { Page } from '../payload-types.ts'
-
-const beforeDuplicate: BeforeDuplicate<Page> = ({ data }) => {
-  return {
-    ...data,
-    title: `${data.title} Copy`,
-    uniqueField: data.uniqueField ? `${data.uniqueField}-copy` : '',
-  }
-}
-
-export const Page: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'pages',
-  admin: {
-    hooks: {
-      beforeDuplicate,

-  fields: [

-
-Payload utilizes a few Express-specific middleware packages within its own routers. You can customize how they work by passing in configuration options to the main Payload config's `express` property.
-
-### Custom Middleware
-
-Payload allows you to pass in custom Express middleware to be used on all of the routes it opens. This is useful for adding logging or any other custom functionality to your endpoints.
-
-There are 2 exposed properties. Each property is an array of middleware functions.
-
-- `preMiddleware` - runs before any of the Payload middleware
-- `postMiddleware` - runs after all of the Payload middleware
-
-```ts
-{
-  express: {
-    preMiddleware: [
-      (req, res, next) => {
-        // do something
-        next()
-      }
-    ],
-    postMiddleware: [
-      (req, res, next) => {
-        // do something
-        next()
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-
-// Example logging middleware function
-const requestLoggerMiddleware = (req, res, next) => {
-  req.payload.logger.info(`request: ${req.method} ${req.url}`)
-  next()
-}
-```
-
-### JSON
-
-`express.json()` is used to parse JSON body content into JavaScript objects accessible on the Express `req`. Payload allows you to customize all of the `json` method's options. Common examples of customization use-cases are increasing the max allowed JSON body size which defaults to `2MB`.
-
-**Example payload.config.js for how to increase the max JSON size allowed to be sent to Payload endpoints:**
-
-```js
-{
-	express: {
-		json: {
-			limit: '4mb',
-		}
-	}
-}
-```
-
-You can find a list of all available options that are able to be passed to `express.json()` [here](https://expressjs.com/en/api.html).
-
-### Compression
-
-Payload uses the `compression` package to optimize transfer size for all of the routes it opens, and you can pass customization options through the Payload config.
-
-To customize compression options, pass an object to the Payload config's `express` property.
-
-**Example payload.config.js:**
-
-```js
-{
-  express: {
-    compression: {
-      // settings go here
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Typically, the default options for this package are suitable. However, for a list of all available customization options, [click here](http://expressjs.com/en/resources/middleware/compression.html).

+## Types for custom translations
+
+In order to use custom translations in your project, you need to provide the types for the translations. Here is an example of how you can define the types for the custom translations in a custom react component:
+
+```ts
+'use client'
+import type { NestedKeysStripped } from '@payloadcms/translations'
+import type React from 'react'
+
+import { useTranslation } from '@payloadcms/ui/providers/Translation'
+
+const customTranslations = {
+  en: {
+    general: {
+      test: 'Custom Translation',
+    },
+  },
+}
+
+type CustomTranslationObject = typeof customTranslations.en
+type CustomTranslationKeys = NestedKeysStripped<CustomTranslationObject>
+
+export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
+  const { i18n, t } = useTranslation<CustomTranslationObject, CustomTranslationKeys>() // These generics merge your custom translations with the default client translations
+
+  return t('general:test')
+}
+
+```
+
+Additionally, payload exposes the `t` function in various places, for example in labels. Here is how you would type those:
+
+```ts
+import type {
+  DefaultTranslationKeys,
+  NestedKeysStripped,
+  TFunction,
+} from '@payloadcms/translations'
+import type { Field } from 'payload/types'
+
+const customTranslations = {
+  en: {
+    general: {
+      test: 'Custom Translation',
+    },
+  },
+}
+
+type CustomTranslationObject = typeof customTranslations.en
+type CustomTranslationKeys = NestedKeysStripped<CustomTranslationObject>
+
+const field: Field = {
+  name: 'myField',
+  type: 'text',
+  label: (
+    { t }: { t: TFunction<CustomTranslationKeys | DefaultTranslationKeys> }, // The generic passed to TFunction does not automatically merge the custom translations with the default translations. We need to merge them ourselves here
+  ) => t('fields:addLabel'),

 Payload collects **completely anonymous** telemetry data about general usage. This data is super important to us and helps us accurately understand how we're growing and what we can do to build the software into everything that it can possibly be. The telemetry that we collect also help us demonstrate our growth in an accurate manner, which helps us as we seek investment to build and scale our team. If we can accurately demonstrate our growth, we can more effectively continue to support Payload as free and open-source software. To opt out of telemetry, you can pass `telemetry: false` within your Payload config.

With it, your Payload documents are stored as _one_ document in your database—no matter if you have localization enabled, how many block or array fields you have, etc. This means that the shape of your data in your database will very closely reflect your field schema, and there is minimal complexity involved in storing or retrieving your data.

 Many projects might call for more rigid database architecture where the shape of your data is strongly enforced at the database level.

This only works in development mode, and should not be mixed with manually running [`migrate`](/docs/database/migrations) commands.
 
 You will be warned if any changes that you make will entail data loss while in development mode. Push is enabled by default, but you can opt out if you'd like.
 
 Alternatively, you can disable `push` and rely solely on migrations to keep your local database in sync with your Payload config.
 
-### Migration workflows

 Migrations are extremely powerful thanks to the seamless way that Payload and Drizzle work together. Let's take the following scenario:
 
 1. You are building your Payload config locally, with a local database used for testing.
 1. You have left the default setting of `push` enabled, so every time you change your Payload config (add or remove fields, collections, etc.), Drizzle will automatically push changes to your local DB.
-1. Once you're done with your changes, or have completed a feature, you can run `npm run payload migrate:create`. 
+1. Once you're done with your changes, or have completed a feature, you can run `npm run payload migrate:create`.
 1. Payload and Drizzle will look for any existing migrations, and automatically generate all SQL changes necessary to convert your schema from its prior state into the state of your current Payload config, and store the resulting DDL in a newly created migration.
 1. Once you're ready to go to production, you will be able to run `npm run payload migrate` against your production database, which will apply any new migrations that have not yet run.
 1. Now your production database is in sync with your Payload config!

-For email to send from your Payload server, some configuration is required. The settings you provide will be set

+The email adapter should be passed into the `email` property of the Payload config. This will allow Payload to send emails for things like password resets, new user verification, and any other email sending needs you may have.
 
-### Configuration
+## Configuration
 
-**Three ways to set it up**
+### Default Configuration
 
-1. **Default**: When email is not needed, a mock email handler will be created and used when nothing is provided. This is ideal for development environments and can be changed later when ready to [go to production](/docs/production/deployment).
-1. **Recommended**: Set the `transportOptions` and Payload will do the set up for you.
-1. **Advanced**: The `transport` object can be assigned a nodemailer transport object set up in your server scripts and given for Payload to use.
+When email is not needed or desired, Payload will log a warning on startup notifying that email is not configured. A  warning message will also be logged on any attempt to send an email.
 
-The following options are configurable in the `email` property object as part of the options object when calling payload.init().

-
-### Use an email service
-
-Many third party mail providers are available and offer benefits beyond basic SMTP. As an example your payload init could look this if you wanted to use SendGrid.com though the same approach would work for any other [NodeMailer transports](https://nodemailer.com/transports/) shown here or provided by another third party.
+**Example email options using nodemailer.createTransport:**
 
 ```ts
-import payload from 'payload'
-import nodemailerSendgrid from 'nodemailer-sendgrid'
-
-const sendGridAPIKey = process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY
-
-payload.init({
-  ...(sendGridAPIKey
-    ? {
-        email: {
-          transportOptions: nodemailerSendgrid({
-            apiKey: sendGridAPIKey,
-          }),
-          fromName: 'Admin',
-          fromAddress: 'admin@example.com',
-        },
-      }
-    : {}),
-})
-```
-
-### Use a custom NodeMailer transport
-
-To take full control of the mail transport you may wish to use `nodemailer.createTransport()` on your server and provide it to Payload init.
-
-```ts
-import payload from 'payload'
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
 import nodemailer from 'nodemailer'
 
-const payload = require('payload')
-const nodemailer = require('nodemailer')
-
-const transport = await nodemailer.createTransport({
-  host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
-  port: 587,
-  auth: {
-    user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
-    pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
-  },
-})
-
-payload.init({
-  email: {
-    fromName: 'Admin',
-    fromAddress: 'admin@example.com',
-    transport,
-  },
-  // ...
+export default buildConfig({
+  email: nodemailerAdapter({
+    defaultFromAddress: 'info@payloadcms.com',
+    defaultFromName: 'Payload',
+    // Any Nodemailer transport can be used
+    transport: nodemailer.createTransport({
+      host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
+      port: 587,
+      auth: {
+        user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
+        pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
+      },
+    }),
+  }),
 })
 ```
 
-### Sending Mail
+**Custom Transport:**
 
-With a working transport you can call it anywhere you have access to payload by calling `payload.sendEmail(message)`. The `message` will contain the `to`, `subject` and `email` or `text` for the email being sent. To see all available message configuration options see [NodeMailer](https://nodemailer.com/message).
+You also have the ability to bring your own nodemailer transport. This is an example of using the SendGrid nodemailer transport.
 
-### Mock transport
-
-By default, Payload uses a mock implementation that only sends mail to the [ethereal](https://ethereal.email) capture service that will never reach a user's inbox. While in development you may wish to make use of the captured messages which is why the payload output during server output helpfully logs this out on the server console.
-
-To see ethereal credentials, add `logMockCredentials: true` to the email options. This will cause them to be logged to console on startup.
 
 ```ts
-payload.init({
-  email: {
-    fromName: 'Admin',
-    fromAddress: 'admin@example.com',
-    logMockCredentials: true, // Optional
-  },
-  // ...
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
+import nodemailerSendgrid from 'nodemailer-sendgrid'
+
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  email: nodemailerAdapter({
+    defaultFromAddress: 'info@payloadcms.com',
+    defaultFromName: 'Payload',
+    transportOptions: nodemailerSendgrid({
+      apiKey: process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY,
+    }),
+  }),
 })
 ```
 
-**Console output when starting payload with a mock email instance and logMockCredentials: true**
+During development, if you pass nothing to `nodemailerAdapter`, it will use the [ethereal.email](https://ethereal.email) service.
 
-```
-[06:37:21] INFO  (payload): Starting Payload...
-[06:37:22] INFO  (payload): Payload Demo Initialized

-[06:37:23] INFO  (payload): Mock email account password: VNdGcvDZeyEhtuPBqf
+This will log the ethereal.email details to console on startup.
+
+```ts
+import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  email: nodemailerAdapter(),
+})
 ```
 
-The mock email handler is used when payload is started with neither `transport` or `transportOptions` to know how to deliver email.
+## Resend Configuration
 
-<Banner type="warning">
-  The randomly generated email account username and password will be different each time the Payload
-  server starts.
-</Banner>
+The Resend adapter requires an API key to be passed in the options. This can be found in the Resend dashboard. This is the preferred package if you are deploying on Vercel because this is much more lightweight than the Nodemailer adapter.
 
-### Using multiple mail providers
+| Option | Description                         |
+| ------ | ----------------------------------- |
+| apiKey | The API key for the Resend service. |
+
+```ts
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import { resendAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-resend'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  email: resendAdapter({
+    defaultFromAddress: 'dev@payloadcms.com',
+    defaultFromName: 'Payload CMS',
+    apiKey: process.env.RESEND_API_KEY || '',
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+## Sending Mail
+
+With a working transport you can call it anywhere you have access to payload by calling `payload.sendEmail(message)`. The `message` will contain the `to`, `subject` and `html` or `text` for the email being sent. Other options are also available and can be seen in the sendEmail args. Support for these will depend on the adapter being used.
+
+```ts
+// Example of sending an email
+const email = await payload.sendEmail({
+  to: 'test@example.com',
+  subject: 'This is a test email',
+  text: 'This is my message body',
+})
+```
+
+## Using multiple mail providers
 
 Payload supports the use of a single transporter of email, but there is nothing stopping you from having more. Consider a use case where sending bulk email is handled differently than transactional email and could be done using a [hook](/docs/hooks/overview).

+## JSON Schema Validation
+
+Payload JSON fields fully support the [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/) standard. By providing a schema in your field config, the editor will be guided in the admin UI, getting typeahead for properties and their formats automatically. When the document is saved, the default validation will prevent saving any invalid data in the field according to the schema in your config.
+
+If you only provide a URL to a schema, Payload will fetch the desired schema if it is publicly available. If not, it is recommended to add the schema directly to your config or import it from another file so that it can be implemented consistently in your project.

-### Field-level hooks
+## Field-level hooks
 
 One of the most powerful parts about Payload is its ability for you to define field-level hooks that can control the logic of your fields to a fine-grained level. for more information about how to define field hooks, [click here](/docs/hooks/overview#field-hooks).
 
-### Field-level access control
+## Field-level access control

-### Field names
+## Field names
 
 Some fields use their `name` property as a unique identifier to store and retrieve from the database. `__v`, `salt`, and `hash` are all reserved field names which are sanitized from Payload's config and cannot be used.
 
-### Validation
+## Validation
 
 Field validation is enforced automatically based on the field type and other properties such as `required` or `min` and `max` value constraints on certain field types. This default behavior can be replaced by providing your own validate function for any field. It will be used on both the frontend and the backend, so it should not rely on any Node-specific packages. The validation function can be either synchronous or asynchronous and expects to return either `true` or a string error message to display in both API responses and within the Admin panel.

-##### secret
+#### secret

 **Required**. This is a secure string that will be used to authenticate with Payload. It can be random but should be at least 14 characters and be very difficult to guess.
 
 Payload uses this secret key to generate secure user tokens (JWT). Behind the scenes, we do not use your secret key to encrypt directly - instead, we first take the secret key and create an encrypted string using the SHA-256 hash function. Then, we reduce the encrypted string to its first 32 characters. This final value is what Payload uses for encryption.

 Allows you to pass your config directly to the onInit function. The config passed here should match the payload.config file.

+### beforeDuplicate
+
+The `beforeDuplicate` field hook is called on each locale (when using localization), when duplicating a document. It may be used when documents having the

+
+This hook gets called after `beforeChange` hooks are called and before the document is saved to the database.
+
+By Default, unique and required text fields Payload will append "- Copy" to the original document value. The default is not added if your field has its own, you must return non-unique values from your beforeDuplicate hook to avoid errors or enable the `disableDuplicate` option on the collection.
