-# Release Commenter
-
-This GitHub Action automatically comments on and/or labels Issues and PRs when a fix is released for them.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> 🔧 Heavily modified version of https://github.com/apexskier/github-release-commenter
-
-## Fork Modifications
-
-- Filters to closed PRs only
-- Adds tag filter to support non-linear releases
-- Better logging
-- Moved to pnpm
-- Uses @vercel/ncc for packaging
-- Comments on locked issues by unlocking then re-locking
-
-## How it works
-
-Use this action in a workflow [triggered by a release](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#release). It will scan commits between that and the prior release, find associated Issues and PRs, and comment on them to let people know a release has been made. Associated Issues and PRs can be directly [linked](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/managing-your-work-on-github/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue) to the commit or manually linked from a PR associated with the commit.
-
-## Inputs
-
-**GITHUB_TOKEN**
-
-A GitHub personal access token with repo scope, such as [`secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/authentication-in-a-workflow#about-the-github_token-secret).
-
-**comment-template** (optional)
-
-Override the comment posted on Issues and PRs. Set to the empty string to disable commenting. Several variables strings will be automatically replaced:
-
-- `{release_link}` - a markdown link to the release
-- `{release_name}` - the release's name
-- `{release_tag}` - the release's tag
-
-**label-template** (optional)
-
-Add the given label. Multiple labels can be separated by commas. Several variable strings will be automatically replaced:
-
-- `{release_name}` - the release's name
-- `{release_tag}` - the release's tag
-
-**skip-label** (optional)
-
-Skip processing if any of the given labels are present. Same processing rules as **label-template**. Default is "dependencies".
-
-## Example
-
-```yml
-on:
-  release:
-    types: [published]
-
-jobs:
-  release:
-    steps:
-      - uses: apexskier/github-release-commenter@v1
-        with:
-          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
-          comment-template: |
-            Release {release_link} addresses this.
-```
-
-## Known limitations
-
-These are some known limitations of this action. I'd like to try to address them in the future.
-
-- Non-linear releases aren't supported. For example, releasing a patch to a prior major release after a new major release has been bumped.
-- Non-sequential releases aren't supported. For example, if you release multiple prereleases between two official releases, this will only create a comment for the first prerelease in which a fix is released, not the final release.
-- The first release for a project will be ignored. This is intentional, as the use case is unlikely. Most projects will either have several alphas that don't need release comments, or won't use issues/PRs for the first commit.
-- If a large number of things are commented on, you may see the error `Error: You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism. Please wait a few minutes before you try again.`. Consider using the `skip-label` input to reduce your load on the GitHub API.
-
-## Versions
-
-Workflows will automatically update the tags `v1` and `latest`, allowing you to reference one of those instead of locking to a specific release.

-**Please add a reproduction in order for us to be able to investigate.**
-
-Depending on the quality of reproduction steps, this issue may be closed if no reproduction is provided.
-
-### Why was this issue marked with the `invalid-reproduction` label?
-
-To be able to investigate, we need access to a reproduction to identify what triggered the issue. We prefer a link to a public GitHub repository created with `create-payload-app@latest -t blank` or a forked/branched version of this repository with tests added (more info in the [reproduction-guide](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/.github/reproduction-guide.md)).
-
-To make sure the issue is resolved as quickly as possible, please make sure that the reproduction is as **minimal** as possible. This means that you should **remove unnecessary code, files, and dependencies** that do not contribute to the issue. Ensure your reproduction does not depend on secrets, 3rd party registries, private dependencies, or any other data that cannot be made public. Avoid a reproduction including a whole monorepo (unless relevant to the issue). The easier it is to reproduce the issue, the quicker we can help.
-
-Please test your reproduction against the latest version of Payload to make sure your issue has not already been fixed.
-
-### I added a link, why was it still marked?
-
-Ensure the link is pointing to a codebase that is accessible (e.g. not a private repository). "[example.com](http://example.com/)", "n/a", "will add later", etc. are not acceptable links -- we need to see a public codebase. See the above section for accepted links.

-## Internationalization (i18n)
-
-If your PR adds a string to the UI, we need to make sure to translate it into all the languages ​​that Payload supports. To do that:
-
-- Find the appropriate internationalization file for your package. These are typically located in `packages/translations/src/languages`, although some packages (e.g., richtext-lexical) have separate i18n files for each feature.
-- Add the string to the English locale "en".
-- Translate it to other languages. You can use the `translateNewKeys` script if you have an OpenAI API key in your `.env` (under `OPENAI_KEY`), or you can use ChatGPT or Google translate - whatever is easier for you. For payload core translations (in packages/translations) you can run the `translateNewKeys` script using `cd packages/translations && pnpm translateNewKeys`. For lexical translations, you can run it using `cd packages/richtext-lexical && pnpm translateNewKeys`. External contributors can skip this step and leave it to us.
-
-To display translation strings in the UI, make sure to use the `t` utility of the `useTranslation` hook:
-
-```ts
-const { t } = useTranslation()
-// ...
-t('yourStringKey')
-```

-Collection Access Control is [Access Control](../access-control/overview) used to restrict access to Documents within a [Collection](../getting-started/concepts#collections), as well as what they can and cannot see within the [Admin Panel](../admin/overview) as it relates to that Collection.
+You can define Collection-level Access Control within each Collection's `access` property. All Access Control functions accept one `args` argument.
 
-To add Access Control to a Collection, use the `access` property in your [Collection Config](../configuration/collections):
+## Available Controls
+
+| Function                | Allows/Denies Access                         |
+| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
+| **[`create`](#create)** | Used in the `create` operation               |
+| **[`read`](#read)**     | Used in the `find` and `findByID` operations |
+| **[`update`](#update)** | Used in the `update` operation               |
+| **[`delete`](#delete)** | Used in the `delete` operation               |
+
+#### Auth-enabled Controls
+
+If a Collection supports [`Authentication`](/docs/authentication/overview), the following Access Controls become available:
+
+| Function                | Allows/Denies Access                                           |
+| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **[`admin`](#admin)**   | Used to restrict access to the Payload Admin panel             |
+| **[`unlock`](#unlock)** | Used to restrict which users can access the `unlock` operation |
+
+**Example Collection config:**
 
 ```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
+import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types';
 
-export const CollectionWithAccessControl: CollectionConfig = {
-  // ...
-  access: {
-    // highlight-line
-    // ...
-  },
-}
-```
-

 ### Create
 
 Returns a boolean which allows/denies access to the `create` request.
 
-To add create Access Control to a Collection, use the `create` property in the [Collection Config](../configuration/collections):
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const CollectionWithCreateAccess: CollectionConfig = {

 ### Read
 
-Returns a boolean which allows/denies access to the `read` request.
+Read access functions can return a boolean result or optionally return a [query constraint](/docs/queries/overview) which limits the documents that are returned to only those that match the constraint you provide. This can be helpful to restrict users' access to only certain documents however you specify.

 ### Update
 
-Returns a boolean which allows/denies access to the `update` request.
+Update access functions can return a boolean result or optionally return a [query constraint](/docs/queries/overview) to limit the document(s) that can be updated by the currently authenticated user. For example, returning a `query` from the `update` Access Control is helpful in cases where you would like to restrict a user to only being able to update the documents containing a `createdBy` relationship field equal to the user's ID.

+Access control within Payload is extremely powerful while remaining easy and intuitive to manage. Declaring who should have access to what documents is no more complex than writing a simple JavaScript function that either returns a `boolean` or a [`query`](/docs/queries/overview) constraint to restrict which documents users can interact with.
+
 <YouTube id="DoPLyXG26Dg" title="Overview of Payload Access Control" />
 
-Access Control determines what a user can and cannot do with any given Document, as well as what they can and cannot see within the [Admin Panel](../admin/overview). By implementing Access Control, you can define granular restrictions based on the user, their roles (RBAC), Document data, or any other criteria your application requires.
+**Example use cases:**
 
-Access Control functions are scoped to the _operation_, meaning you can have different rules for `create`, `read`, `update`, `delete`, etc. Access Control functions are executed _before_ any changes are made and _before_ any operations are completed. This allows you to determine if the user has the necessary permissions before fulfilling the request.
+- Allowing anyone `read` access to all `Post`s
+- Only allowing public access to `Post`s where a `status` field is equal to `published`
+- Giving only `User`s with a `role` field equal to `admin` the ability to delete `Page`(s)
+- Allowing anyone to create `ContactSubmission`s, but only logged in users to `read`, `update` or `delete` them
+- Restricting a `User` to only be able to see their own `Order`(s), but no others
+- Allowing `User`s that belong to a certain `Organization` to access only that `Organization`'s `Resource`s
 
-There are many use cases for Access Control, including:
+### Default Settings
 
-- Allowing anyone `read` access to all posts
-- Only allowing public access to posts where a `status` field is equal to `published`
-- Giving only users with a `role` field equal to `admin` the ability to delete posts
-- Allowing anyone to submit contact forms, but only logged in users to `read`, `update` or `delete` them
-- Restricting a user to only be able to see their own orders, but no-one else's
-- Allowing users that belong to a certain organization to access only that organization's resources
+**By default, all Collections and Globals require that a user is logged in to be able to interact in any way.** The default Access Control function evaluates the `user` from the Express `req` and returns `true` if a user is logged in, and `false` if not.
 
-There are three main types of Access Control in Payload:
-
-- [Collection Access Control](./collections)
-- [Global Access Control](./globals)
-- [Field Access Control](./fields)
-
-## Default Access Control
-
-Payload provides default Access Control so that your data is secured behind [Authentication](../authentication/overview) without additional configuration. To do this, Payload sets a default function that simply checks if a user is present on the request. You can override this default behavior by defining your own Access Control functions as needed.
-
-Here is the default Access Control that Payload provides:
+**Default Access function:**
 
 ```ts
 const defaultPayloadAccess = ({ req: { user } }) => {
   // Return `true` if a user is found
   // and `false` if it is undefined or null
-  return Boolean(user) // highlight-line
+  return Boolean(user)
 }
 ```
 
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Important:** In the [Local API](../local-api/overview), all Access Control
-  is _skipped_ by default. This allows your server to have full control over
-  your application. To opt back in, you can set the `overrideAccess` option to

-## The Access Operation
+### Access Control Types
 
-The Admin Panel responds dynamically to your changes to Access Control. For example, if you restrict editing `ExampleCollection` to only users that feature an "admin" role, Payload will **hide** that Collection from the Admin Panel entirely. This is super powerful and allows you to control who can do what within your Admin Panel using the same functions that secure your APIs.
+You can manage access within Payload on three different levels:
 
-To accomplish this, Payload exposes the [Access Operation](../authentication/operations#access). Upon login, Payload executes each Access Control function at the top level, across all Collections, Globals, and Fields, and returns a response that contains a reflection of what the currently authenticated user can do within your application.
+- [Collections](/docs/access-control/collections)
+- [Fields](/docs/access-control/fields)
+- [Globals](/docs/access-control/globals)
 
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Important:** When your access control functions are executed via the [Access
-  Operation](../authentication/operations#access), the `id` and `data` arguments
-  will be `undefined`. This is because Payload is executing your functions
-  without referencing a specific Document.
+### When Access Control is Executed
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  <strong>Note:</strong>
+  <br />
+  Access control functions are utilized in two places. It's important to understand how and when
+  your access control is executed.
 </Banner>
 
-If you use `id` or `data` within your access control functions, make sure to check that they are defined first. If they are not, then you can assume that your Access Control is being executed via the Access Operation to determine solely what the user can do within the Admin Panel.
+#### As you execute operations
 
-## Locale Specific Access Control
+When you perform Payload operations like `create`, `read`, `update`, and `delete`, your access control functions will be executed before any changes or operations are completed.
 
-To implement locale-specific access control, you can use the `req.locale` argument in your access control functions. This argument allows you to evaluate the current locale of the request and determine access permissions accordingly.
+#### Within the Admin UI
 
-Here is an example:
+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.
 
-```ts
-const access = ({ req }) => {
-  // Grant access if the locale is 'en'
-  if (req.locale === 'en') {
-    return true
-  }
+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.
 
-  // Deny access for all other locales
-  return false

+
+### 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,

+| **`graphics.Logo`**   | The full logo to be used in contexts like the `Login` view.                                                                                                                                                 |
+| **`providers`**       | Define your own provider components that will wrap the Payload Admin UI. [More](#custom-providers)                                                                                                          |

+
+Here is a full example showing how to swap some of these components for your own.
+
+`payload.config.js`
+
+```ts
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+
+import {
+  MyCustomNav,
+  MyCustomLogo,
+  MyCustomIcon,
+  MyCustomAccount,
+  MyCustomDashboard,
+  MyProvider,
+  MyCustomAdminAction,
+} from './customComponents'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      Nav: MyCustomNav,
+      graphics: {
+        Icon: MyCustomIcon,
+        Logo: MyCustomLogo,
+      },
+      actions: [MyCustomAdminAction],
+      views: {
+        Account: MyCustomAccount,
+        Dashboard: MyCustomDashboard,
+      },
+      providers: [MyProvider],
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+#### Views
+
+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.                                                                                    |
+
+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. Each view corresponds to its own `<Route />` component in [React Router v5](https://v5.reactrouter.com). Payload exposes all of the properties of React Router:
+
+| 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.

+### Collections
+
+You can override components on a collection-by-collection basis via the `admin.components` property.
+
+| Path                       | Description                                                                                                            |
+| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`BeforeList`**           | Array of components to inject _before_ the built-in List view                                                          |
+| **`BeforeListTable`**      | Array of components to inject _before_ the built-in List view's table                                                  |
+| **`AfterList`**            | Array of components to inject _after_ the built-in List view                                                           |
+| **`AfterListTable`**       | Array of components to inject _after_ the built-in List view's table                                                   |
+| **`edit.SaveButton`**      | Replace the default `Save` button with a custom component. Drafts must be disabled                                     |
+| **`edit.SaveDraftButton`** | Replace the default `Save Draft` button with a custom component. Drafts must be enabled and autosave must be disabled. |
+| **`edit.PublishButton`**   | Replace the default `Publish` button with a custom component. Drafts must be enabled.                                  |
+| **`edit.PreviewButton`**   | Replace the default `Preview` button with a custom component.                                                          |
+| **`views`**                | Override or create new views within the Payload Admin UI. [More](#collection-views)                                    |
+
+Here is a full example showing how to swap some of these components for your own:
+
+`Collection.ts`
+
+```tsx
+import * as React from 'react'
+
+import {
+  CustomSaveButtonProps,
+  CustomSaveDraftButtonProps,
+  CustomPublishButtonProps,
+  CustomPreviewButtonProps,
+} from 'payload/types'
+
+export const CustomSaveButton: CustomSaveButtonProps = ({ DefaultButton, label, save }) => {
+  return <DefaultButton label={label} save={save} />
+}
+
+export const CustomSaveDraftButton: CustomSaveDraftButtonProps = ({
+  DefaultButton,
+  disabled,
+  label,
+  saveDraft,
+}) => {
+  return <DefaultButton label={label} disabled={disabled} saveDraft={saveDraft} />

+        PublishButton: CustomPublishButton,
+        PreviewButton: CustomPreviewButton,
+      },
+    },
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### 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                                                                                                                  |
+| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`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 a custom view component](#building-a-custom-view-component)._
+
+**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
+
+As with Collections, you can override components on a global-by-global basis via the `admin.components` property.
+
+| Path                           | Description                                                                                                            |
+| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`elements.SaveButton`**      | Replace the default `Save` button with a custom component. Drafts must be disabled                                     |
+| **`elements.SaveDraftButton`** | Replace the default `Save Draft` button with a custom component. Drafts must be enabled and autosave must be disabled. |
+| **`elements.PublishButton`**   | Replace the default `Publish` button with a custom component. Drafts must be enabled.                                  |
+| **`elements.PreviewButton`**   | Replace the default `Preview` button with a custom component.                                                          |
+| **`views`**                    | Override or create new views within the Payload Admin UI. [More](#global-views)                                        |
+
+#### Global views
+
+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,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+_For help on how to build your own custom view components, see [building a custom view component](#building-a-custom-view-component)._
+
+**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

+        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 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
+
+These are the props that will be passed to your custom Cell to use in your own components.
+
+| Property         | Description                                                       |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`field`**      | An object that includes the field configuration.                  |
+| **`colIndex`**   | A unique number for the column in the list.                       |
+| **`collection`** | An object with the config of the collection that the field is in. |
+| **`cellData`**   | The data for the field that the cell represents.                  |
+| **`rowData`**    | An object with all the field values for the row.                  |
+
+#### Example
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react'
+import type { Props } from 'payload/components/views/Cell'
+import './index.scss'
+
+const baseClass = 'custom-cell'
+
+const CustomCell: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
+  const { field, colIndex, collection, cellData, rowData } = props
+
+  return <span className={baseClass}>{cellData}</span>
+}
+```
+
+## Field Component
+
+When writing your own custom components you can make use of a number of hooks to set data, get reactive changes to other fields, get the id of the document or interact with a context from a custom provider.
+
+### Sending and receiving values from the form
+
+When swapping out the `Field` component, you'll be responsible for sending and receiving the field's `value` from the form itself. To do so, import the `useField` hook as follows:
+
+```tsx
+import { useField } from 'payload/components/forms'
+
+const CustomTextField: React.FC<{ path: string }> = ({ path }) => {
+  // highlight-start
+  const { value, setValue } = useField<string>({ path })
+  // highlight-end
+
+
+  return <input onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} value={value} />
+}
+```
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  For more information regarding the hooks that are available to you while you build custom
+  components, including the <strong>useField</strong> hook, [click here](/docs/admin/hooks).
+</Banner>
+
+## Label Component
+
+These are the props that will be passed to your custom Label.
+
+| Property         | Description                                                      |
+| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`htmlFor`**    | Property used to set `for` attribute for label.                  |
+| **`label`**      | Label value provided in field, it can be used with i18n.         |
+| **`required`**   | A boolean value that represents if the field is required or not. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react'
+import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next'
+
+import { getTranslation } from 'payload/utilities/getTranslation'
+
+type Props = {
+  htmlFor?: string
+  label?: Record<string, string> | false | string
+  required?: boolean
+}
+
+const CustomLabel: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
+  const { htmlFor, label, required = false } = props
+
+  const { i18n } = useTranslation()
+
+  if (label) {
+    return (<span>
+      {getTranslation(label, i18n)}
+      {required && <span className="required">*</span>}
+    </span>);
+  }
+
+  return null
+}
+```
+
+## Error Component
+
+These are the props that will be passed to your custom Error.
+
+| Property         | Description                                                   |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`message`**    | The error message.                                            |
+| **`showError`**  | A boolean value that represents if the error should be shown. |
+
+#### Example
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react'
+
+type Props = {
+  message: string
+  showError?: boolean
+}
+
+const CustomError: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
+  const { message, showError } = props
+
+  if (showError) {
+    return <p style={{color: 'red'}}>{message}</p>
+  } else return null;
+}
+```
+
+## afterInput and beforeInput
+
+With these properties you can add multiple components before and after the input element. For example, you can add an absolutely positioned button to clear the current field value.
+
+#### Example
+
+```tsx
+import React from 'react'
+import { Field } from 'payload/types'
+
+import './style.scss'
+
+const ClearButton: React.FC = () => {
+  return <button onClick={() => {/* ... */}}>X</button>
+}
+
+const titleField: Field = {
+  name: 'title',
+  type: 'text',
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      afterInput: [ClearButton]
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+export default titleField;
+```
+
+## Custom providers
+
+As your admin customizations gets more complex you may want to share state between fields or other components. You can add custom providers to do add your own context to any Payload app for use in other custom components within the admin panel. Within your config add `admin.components.providers`, these can be used to share context or provide other custom functionality. Read the [React context](https://reactjs.org/docs/context.html) docs to learn more.
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Reminder:</strong> Don't forget to pass the **children** prop through the provider
+  component for the admin UI to show
+</Banner>
+
+### Styling Custom Components
+
+Payload exports its SCSS variables and mixins for reuse in your own custom components. This is helpful in cases where you might want to style a custom input similarly to Payload's built-ini styling, so it blends more thoroughly into the existing admin UI.
+
+To make use of Payload SCSS variables / mixins to use directly in your own components, you can import them as follows:
+
+```
+@import '~payload/scss';
+```
+
+### Getting the current language
+
+When developing custom components you can support multiple languages to be consistent with Payload's i18n support. The best way to do this is to add your translation resources to the [i18n configuration](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/i18n) and import `useTranslation` from `react-i18next` in your components.
+
+For example:
+
+```tsx
+import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next'
+
+const CustomComponent: React.FC = () => {
+  // highlight-start
+  const { t, i18n } = useTranslation('namespace1')
+  // highlight-end
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      <li>{t('key', { variable: 'value' })}</li>
+      <li>{t('namespace2:key', { variable: 'value' })}</li>
+      <li>{i18n.language}</li>
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Getting the current locale
+
+In any custom component you can get the selected locale with `useLocale` hook. `useLocale` returns the full locale object, consisting of a `label`, `rtl`(right-to-left) property, and then `code`. Here is a simple example:
+
+```tsx
+import { useLocale } from 'payload/components/utilities'
+
+const Greeting: React.FC = () => {
+  // highlight-start
+  const locale = useLocale()
+  // highlight-end
+
+  const trans = {
+    en: 'Hello',
+    es: 'Hola',
+  }
+
+  return <span> {trans[locale.code]} </span>
+}
+```

 ---
 
-Customizing the Payload [Admin Panel](./overview) through CSS alone is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to customize the look and feel of the dashboard. To allow for this level of customization, Payload:
+### Adding your own CSS / SCSS
 
-1. Exposes a [root-level stylesheet](#global-css) for you to inject custom selectors
-1. Provides a [CSS library](#css-library) that can be easily overridden or extended
-1. Uses [BEM naming conventions](http://getbem.com) so that class names are globally accessible
+You can add your own CSS by providing your base Payload config with a path to your own CSS or SCSS. Customize the styling of any part of the Payload dashboard as necessary.
 
-To customize the CSS within the Admin UI, determine scope and change you'd like to make, and then add your own CSS or SCSS to the configuration as needed.
+To do so, provide your base Payload config with a path to your own stylesheet. It can be either a CSS or SCSS file.
 
-## Global CSS
+**Example in payload.config.js:**
 
-Global CSS refers to the CSS that is applied to the entire [Admin Panel](./overview). This is where you can have a significant impact to the look and feel of the Admin UI through just a few lines of code.
+```ts
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import path from 'path'
 
-You can add your own global CSS through the root `custom.scss` file of your app. This file is loaded into the root of the Admin Panel and can be used to inject custom selectors or styles however needed.
-
-Here is an example of how you might target the Dashboard View and change the background color:
-
-```scss
-.dashboard {
-  background-color: red; // highlight-line
-}
+const config = buildConfig({
+  admin: {
+    css: path.resolve(__dirname, 'relative/path/to/stylesheet.scss'),
+  },
+})
 ```
 
+### Overriding built-in styles
+
+To make it as easy as possible for you to override our styles, Payload uses [BEM naming conventions](http://getbem.com/) for all CSS within the Admin UI. If you provide your own CSS, you can override any built-in styles easily.
+
+In addition to adding your own style definitions, you can also override Payload's built-in CSS variables. We use as much as possible behind the scenes, and you can override any of them that you'd like to.
+
+You can find the built-in Payload CSS variables within [`./src/admin/scss/app.scss`](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/payload/src/admin/scss/app.scss) and [`./src/admin/scss/colors.scss`](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/payload/src/admin/scss/colors.scss). The following variables are defined and can be overridden:
+
+- Breakpoints
+- Base color shades (white to black by default)
+- Success / warning / error color shades
+- Theme-specific colors (background, input background, text color, etc.)
+- Elevation colors (used to determine how "bright" something should be when compared to the background)
+- Fonts
+- Horizontal gutter
+
+#### Dark mode
+
 <Banner type="warning">
-  **Note:** If you are building [Custom
-  Components](../custom-components/overview), it is best to import your own
-  stylesheets directly into your components, rather than using the global
-  stylesheet. You can continue to use the [CSS library](#css-library) as needed.
+  If you're overriding colors or theme elevations, make sure to consider how your changes will
+  affect dark mode.
 </Banner>
 
-### Specificity rules
-
-All Payload CSS is encapsulated inside CSS layers under `@layer payload-default`. Any custom css will now have the highest possible specificity.
-
-We have also provided a layer `@layer payload` if you want to use layers and ensure that your styles are applied after payload.
-
-To override existing styles in a way that the previous rules of specificity would be respected you can use the default layer like so
-
-```css
-@layer payload-default {
-  // my styles within the Payload specificity
-}
-```
-
-## Re-using Payload SCSS variables and utilities
-
-You can re-use Payload's SCSS variables and utilities in your own stylesheets by importing it from the UI package.
-
-```scss
-@import '~@payloadcms/ui/scss';
-```
-
-## CSS Library
-
-To make it as easy as possible for you to override default styles, Payload uses [BEM naming conventions](http://getbem.com/) for all CSS within the Admin UI. If you provide your own CSS, you can override any built-in styles easily, including targeting nested components and their various component states.
-
-You can also override Payload's built-in [CSS Variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties). These variables are widely consumed by the Admin Panel, so modifying them has a significant impact on the look and feel of the Admin UI.
-
-The following variables are defined and can be overridden:
-
-- [Breakpoints](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/scss/queries.scss)
-- [Colors](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/scss/colors.scss)
-  - Base color shades (white to black by default)
-  - Success / warning / error color shades
-  - Theme-specific colors (background, input background, text color, etc.)
-  - Elevation colors (used to determine how "bright" something should be when compared to the background)
-- [Sizing](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/scss/app.scss)
-  - Horizontal gutter
-  - Transition speeds
-  - Font sizes
-  - Etc.
-
-For an up-to-date, comprehensive list of all available variables, please refer to the [Source Code](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/ui/src/scss).
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Warning:** If you're overriding colors or theme elevations, make sure to
-  consider how [your changes will affect dark mode](#dark-mode).
-</Banner>
-
-#### Dark Mode
-
-Colors are designed to automatically adapt to theme of the [Admin Panel](./overview). By default, Payload automatically overrides all `--theme-elevation` colors and inverts all success / warning / error shades to suit dark mode. We also update some base theme variables like `--theme-bg`, `--theme-text`, etc.

+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'
+import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
+
+import { Subscriptions } from './collections/Subscriptions'
+
+const mockModulePath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'mocks/emptyObject.js')
+const fullFilePath = path.resolve(
+  __dirname,
+  'collections/Subscriptions/hooks/createStripeSubscription'
+)
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  collections: [Subscriptions],
+  admin: {
+    bundler: webpackBundler(),
+    webpack: (config) => {
+      return {
+        ...config,
+        resolve: {
+          ...config.resolve,
+          // highlight-start
+          alias: {
+            ...config.resolve.alias,
+            [fullFilePath]: mockModulePath,
+          },
+          // highlight-end
+        },
+      }
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Aliasing with [Vite](/docs/admin/vite) can be done by:
+
+```ts
+// payload.config.ts
+
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import { viteBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-vite'
+
+import { Subscriptions } from './collections/Subscriptions'
+
+const mockModulePath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'mocks/emptyObject.js')
+
+export default buildConfig({

+  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);
+      }
+
+
+      // highlight-start
+      // Add your own aliases using the find and replacement keys
+      // remember, vite aliases are exact-match only
+      aliasArray.push({
+        find: '../server-only-module',
+        replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, './path/to/browser-safe-module.js')
+      });
+      // highlight-end
+
+      return {
+        ...incomingViteConfig,
+        resolve: {
+          ...(incomingViteConfig?.resolve || {}),
+          alias: aliasArray,
+        }
+      };

+desc: Make use of all of the powerful React hooks that Payload provides.
+keywords: admin, components, custom, documentation, Content Management System, cms, headless, javascript, node, react, express
+---
+
+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.
+
+### useField
+
+The `useField` hook is used internally within every applicable Payload field component, and it manages sending and receiving a field's state from its parent form.
+
+Outside of internal use, its most common use-case is in custom `Field` components. When you build a custom React `Field` component, you'll be responsible for sending and receiving the field's `value` from the form itself. To do so, import the `useField` hook as follows:
+
+```tsx
+import { useField } from 'payload/components/forms'
+
+type Props = { path: string }
+
+const CustomTextField: React.FC<Props> = ({ path }) => {
+  // highlight-start
+  const { value, setValue } = useField<string>({ path })
+  // highlight-end
+
+  return <input onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)} value={value.path} />
+}
+```
+
+The `useField` hook accepts an `args` object and sends back information and helpers for you to make use of:
+
+```ts
+const field = useField<string>({
+  path: 'fieldPathHere', // required
+  validate: myValidateFunc, // optional
+  disableFormData?: false, // if true, the field's data will be ignored
+  condition?: myConditionHere, // optional, used to skip validation if condition fails
+})
+
+// Here is what `useField` sends back
+const {
+  showError, // whether or not the field should show as errored
+  errorMessage, // the error message to show, if showError
+  value, // the current value of the field from the form
+  formSubmitted, // if the form has been submitted
+  formProcessing, // if the form is currently processing
+  setValue, // method to set the field's value in form state
+  initialValue, // the initial value that the field mounted with
+} = field;
+
+// The rest of your component goes here
+```
+
+### useFormFields
+
+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.
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  <strong>This hook is great for retrieving only certain fields from form state</strong> because it
+  ensures that it will only cause a rerender when the items that you ask for change.
+</Banner>
+
+Thanks to the awesome package [`use-context-selector`](https://github.com/dai-shi/use-context-selector), you can retrieve a specific field's state easily. This is ideal because you can ensure you have an up-to-date field state, and your component will only re-render when _that field's state_ changes.
+
+You can pass a Redux-like selector into the hook, which will ensure that you retrieve only the field that you want. The selector takes an argument with type of `[fields: Fields, dispatch: React.Dispatch<Action>]]`.
+
+```tsx
+import { useFormFields } from 'payload/components/forms'
+
+const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
+  // Get only the `amount` field state, and only cause a rerender when that field changes
+  const amount = useFormFields(([fields, dispatch]) => fields.amount)
+
+  // Do the same thing as above, but to the `feePercentage` field
+  const feePercentage = useFormFields(([fields, dispatch]) => fields.feePercentage)
+
+  if (typeof amount?.value !== 'undefined' && typeof feePercentage?.value !== 'undefined') {
+    return <span>The fee is ${(amount.value * feePercentage.value) / 100}</span>
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### useAllFormFields
+
+**To retrieve more than one field**, you can use the `useAllFormFields` hook. Your component will re-render when _any_ field changes, so use this hook only if you absolutely need to. Unlike the `useFormFields` hook, this hook does not accept a "selector", and it always returns an array with type of `[fields: Fields, dispatch: React.Dispatch<Action>]]`.
+
+You can do lots of powerful stuff by retrieving the full form state, like using built-in helper functions to reduce field state to values only, or to retrieve sibling data by path.
+
+```tsx
+import { useAllFormFields, reduceFieldsToValues, getSiblingData } from 'payload/components/forms';
+
+const ExampleComponent: React.FC = () => {
+  // the `fields` const will be equal to all fields' state,
+  // and the `dispatchFields` method is usable to send field state up to the form
+  const [fields, dispatchFields] = useAllFormFields();
+
+  // Pass in fields, and indicate if you'd like to "unflatten" field data.
+  // The result below will reflect the data stored in the form at the given time
+  const formData = reduceFieldsToValues(fields, true);
+
+  // Pass in field state and a path,
+  // and you will be sent all sibling data of the path that you've specified
+  const siblingData = getSiblingData(fields, 'someFieldName');
+
+  return (
+    // return some JSX here if necessary
+  )
+};
+```
+
+##### Updating other fields' values
+
+If you are building a custom component, then you should use `setValue` which is returned from the `useField` hook to programmatically set your field's value. But if you're looking to update _another_ field's value, you can use `dispatchFields` returned from `useFormFields`.
+
+You can send the following actions to the `dispatchFields` function.
+
+| Action                 | Description                                                                |
+| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`ADD_ROW`**          | Adds a row of data (useful in array / block field data)                    |
+| **`DUPLICATE_ROW`**    | Duplicates a row of data (useful in array / block field data)              |
+| **`MODIFY_CONDITION`** | Updates a field's conditional logic result (true / false)                  |
+| **`MOVE_ROW`**         | Moves a row of data (useful in array / block field data)                   |
+| **`REMOVE`**           | Removes a field from form state                                            |
+| **`REMOVE_ROW`**       | Removes a row of data from form state (useful in array / block field data) |
+| **`REPLACE_STATE`**    | Completely replaces form state                                             |
+| **`UPDATE`**           | Update any property of a specific field's state                            |
+

+
+### useForm
+
+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_.
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Warning:</strong>
+  <br />
+  This hook is optimized to avoid causing rerenders when fields change, and as such, its `fields`
+  property will be out of date. You should only leverage this hook if you need to perform actions
+  against the form in response to your users' actions. Do not rely on its returned "fields" as being
+  up-to-date. They will be removed from this hook's response in an upcoming version.

+
+### useLocale
+
+In any custom component you can get the selected locale object with the `useLocale` hook. `useLocale`gives you the full locale object, consisting of a `label`, `rtl`(right-to-left) property, and then `code`. Here is a simple example:
+

+  }
+
+  return <span> {trans[locale.code]} </span>
+}
+```
+
+### useAuth

+
+| Property                  | Description                                                                                                                               |
+|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **`mostRecentUpdate`**    | An object containing the most recently updated document. It contains the `entitySlug`, `id` (if collection), and `updatedAt` properties   |
+| **`reportUpdate`**        | A method used to report updates to documents. It accepts the same arguments as the `mostRecentUpdate` property.                           |

+
+```tsx
+import { useDocumentEvents } from 'payload/components/hooks'
+
+const ListenForUpdates: React.FC = () => {
+  const { mostRecentUpdate } = useDocumentEvents()
+
+  return (
+    <span>
+      {JSON.stringify(mostRecentUpdate)}
+    </span>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+<Banner type="info">

-title: Document Locking
-label: Document Locking
-order: 40
-desc: Ensure your documents are locked during editing to prevent concurrent changes from multiple users and maintain data integrity.
-keywords: locking, document locking, edit locking, document, concurrency, Payload, headless, Content Management System, cms, javascript, react, node, nextjs
----
-
-Document locking in Payload ensures that only one user at a time can edit a document, preventing data conflicts and accidental overwrites. When a document is locked, other users are prevented from making changes until the lock is released, ensuring data integrity in collaborative environments.
-
-The lock is automatically triggered when a user begins editing a document within the Admin Panel and remains in place until the user exits the editing view or the lock expires due to inactivity.
-
-## How it works
-
-When a user starts editing a document, Payload locks it for that user. If another user attempts to access the same document, they will be notified that it is currently being edited. They can then choose one of the following options:
-
-- View in Read-Only: View the document without the ability to make any changes.
-- Take Over: Take over editing from the current user, which locks the document for the new editor and notifies the original user.
-- Return to Dashboard: Navigate away from the locked document and continue with other tasks.
-
-The lock will automatically expire after a set period of inactivity, configurable using the `duration` property in the `lockDocuments` configuration, after which others can resume editing.
-
-<Banner type="info">
-  **Note:** If your application does not require document locking, you can
-  disable this feature for any collection or global by setting the
-  `lockDocuments` property to `false`.
-</Banner>
-
-### Config Options
-
-The `lockDocuments` property exists on both the Collection Config and the Global Config. Document locking is enabled by default, but you can customize the lock duration or turn off the feature for any collection or global.
-
-Here's an example configuration for document locking:
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'posts',
-  fields: [
-    {
-      name: 'title',
-      type: 'text',
-    },
-    // other fields...
-  ],
-  lockDocuments: {
-    duration: 600, // Duration in seconds
-  },
-}
-```
-
-#### Locking Options
-
-| Option              | Description                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| **`lockDocuments`** | Enables or disables document locking for the collection or global. By default, document locking is enabled. Set to an object to configure, or set to false to disable locking. |
-| **`duration`**      | Specifies the duration (in seconds) for how long a document remains locked without user interaction. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).                                   |
-
-### Impact on APIs
-
-Document locking affects both the Local and REST APIs, ensuring that if a document is locked, concurrent users will not be able to perform updates or deletes on that document (including globals). If a user attempts to update or delete a locked document, they will receive an error.
-
-Once the document is unlocked or the lock duration has expired, other users can proceed with updates or deletes as normal.
-
-#### Overriding Locks
-
-For operations like `update` and `delete`, Payload includes an `overrideLock` option. This boolean flag, when set to `false`, enforces document locks, ensuring that the operation will not proceed if another user currently holds the lock.
-
-By default, `overrideLock` is set to `true`, which means that document locks are ignored, and the operation will proceed even if the document is locked. To enforce locks and prevent updates or deletes on locked documents, set `overrideLock: false`.
-
-```ts
-const result = await payload.update({
-  collection: 'posts',
-  id: '123',
-  data: {
-    title: 'New title',
-  },
-  overrideLock: false, // Enforces the document lock, preventing updates if the document is locked
-})
-```
-
-This option is particularly useful in scenarios where administrative privileges or specific workflows require you to override the lock and ensure the operation is completed.

-order: 70
-desc: Customize the metadata of your pages within the Admin Panel
-keywords: admin, components, custom, documentation, Content Management System, cms, headless, javascript, node, react, nextjs
----
-
-Every page within the Admin Panel automatically receives dynamic, auto-generated metadata derived from live document data, the user's current locale, and more. This includes the page title, description, og:image, etc. and requires no additional configuration.
-
-Metadata is fully configurable at the root level and cascades down to individual collections, documents, and custom views. This allows for the ability to control metadata on any page with high precision, while also providing sensible defaults.
-
-All metadata is injected into Next.js' [`generateMetadata`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata) function. This used to generate the `<head>` of pages within the Admin Panel. All metadata options that are available in Next.js are exposed by Payload.
-
-Within the Admin Panel, metadata can be customized at the following levels:
-
-- [Root Metadata](#root-metadata)
-- [Collection Metadata](#collection-metadata)
-- [Global Metadata](#global-metadata)
-- [View Metadata](#view-metadata)
-
-All of these types of metadata share a similar structure, with a few key differences on the Root level. To customize metadata, consult the list of available scopes. Determine the scope that corresponds to what you are trying to accomplish, then author your metadata within the Payload Config accordingly.
-
-## Root Metadata
-
-Root Metadata is the metadata that is applied to all pages within the Admin Panel. This is where you can control things like the suffix appended onto each page's title, the favicon displayed in the browser's tab, and the Open Graph data that is used when sharing the Admin Panel on social media.
-
-To customize Root Metadata, use the `admin.meta` key in your Payload Config:
-
-```ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    // highlight-start
-    meta: {
-    // highlight-end
-      title: 'My Admin Panel',
-      description: 'The best admin panel in the world',
-      icons: [
-        {
-          rel: 'icon',
-          type: 'image/png',
-          url: '/favicon.png',
-        },
-      ],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-The following options are available for Root Metadata:
-
-| Key                  | Type                                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

-| `defaultOGImageType` | `dynamic` (default), `static`, or `off` | The type of default OG image to use. If set to `dynamic`, Payload will use Next.js image generation to create an image with the title of the page. If set to `static`, Payload will use the `defaultOGImage` URL.

-  **Reminder:** These are the _root-level_ options for the Admin Panel. You can
-  also customize metadata on the [Collection](../configuration/collections),
-  [Global](../configuration/globals), and Document levels through their
-  respective configs.
-</Banner>
-
-### Icons
-
-The Icons Config corresponds to the `<link>` tags that are used to specify icons for the Admin Panel. The `icons` key is an array of objects, each of which represents an individual icon. Icons are differentiated from one another by their `rel` attribute, which specifies the relationship between the document and the icon.
-
-The most common icon type is the favicon, which is displayed in the browser tab. This is specified by the `rel` attribute `icon`. Other common icon types include `apple-touch-icon`, which is used by Apple devices when the Admin Panel is saved to the home screen, and `mask-icon`, which is used by Safari to mask the Admin Panel icon.
-
-To customize icons, use the `admin.meta.icons` property in your Payload Config:
-
-```ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    meta: {
-      // highlight-start
-      icons: [
-      // highlight-end
-        {
-          rel: 'icon',
-          type: 'image/png',
-          url: '/favicon.png',
-        },
-        {
-          rel: 'apple-touch-icon',
-          type: 'image/png',
-          url: '/apple-touch-icon.png',
-        },
-      ],
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-For a full list of all available Icon options, see the [Next.js documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata#icons).
-
-### Open Graph
-
-Open Graph metadata is a set of tags that are used to control how URLs are displayed when shared on social media platforms. Open Graph metadata is automatically generated by Payload, but can be customized at the Root level.
-
-To customize Open Graph metadata, use the `admin.meta.openGraph` property in your Payload Config:
-
-```ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    meta: {
-      // highlight-start
-      openGraph: {
-      // highlight-end
-        description: 'The best admin panel in the world',
-        images: [
-          {
-            url: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
-            width: 800,
-            height: 600,
-          },
-        ],
-        siteName: 'Payload',
-        title: 'My Admin Panel',
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-For a full list of all available Open Graph options, see the [Next.js documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata#opengraph).
-
-### Robots
-
-Setting the `robots` property will allow you to control the `robots` meta tag that is rendered within the `<head>` of the Admin Panel. This can be used to control how search engines index pages and displays them in search results.
-
-By default, the Admin Panel is set to prevent search engines from indexing pages within the Admin Panel.
-
-To customize the Robots Config, use the `admin.meta.robots` property in your Payload Config:
-
-```ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    meta: {
-      // highlight-start
-      robots: 'noindex, nofollow',
-      // highlight-end
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-For a full list of all available Robots options, see the [Next.js documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/generate-metadata#robots).
-
-##### Prevent Crawling
-
-While setting meta tags via `admin.meta.robots` can prevent search engines from _indexing_ web pages, it does not prevent them from being _crawled_.
-
-To prevent your pages from being crawled altogether, add a `robots.txt` file to your root directory.
-
-```text
-User-agent: *
-Disallow: /admin/
-```
-
-<Banner type="info">
-  **Note:** If you've customized the path to your Admin Panel via
-  `config.routes`, be sure to update the `Disallow` directive to match your
-  custom path.
-</Banner>
-
-## Collection Metadata
-
-Collection Metadata is the metadata that is applied to all pages within any given Collection within the Admin Panel. This metadata is used to customize the title and description of all views within any given Collection, unless overridden by the view itself.
-
-To customize Collection Metadata, use the `admin.meta` key within your Collection Config:
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const MyCollection: CollectionConfig = {
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    // highlight-start
-    meta: {
-      // highlight-end
-      title: 'My Collection',
-      description: 'The best collection in the world',
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-The Collection Meta config has the same options as the [Root Metadata](#root-metadata) config.
-
-## Global Metadata
-
-Global Metadata is the metadata that is applied to all pages within any given Global within the Admin Panel. This metadata is used to customize the title and description of all views within any given Global, unless overridden by the view itself.
-
-To customize Global Metadata, use the `admin.meta` key within your Global Config:
-
-```ts
-import { GlobalConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const MyGlobal: GlobalConfig = {
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    // highlight-start
-    meta: {
-      // highlight-end
-      title: 'My Global',
-      description: 'The best admin panel in the world',
-    },
-  },
-}
-```
-
-The Global Meta config has the same options as the [Root Metadata](#root-metadata) config.
-
-## View Metadata
-
-View Metadata is the metadata that is applied to specific [Views](../custom-components/custom-views) within the Admin Panel. This metadata is used to customize the title and description of a specific view, overriding any metadata set at the [Root](#root-metadata), [Collection](#collection-metadata), or [Global](#global-metadata) level.
-
-To customize View Metadata, use the `meta` key within your View Config:
-
-```ts
-{
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    views: {
-      dashboard: {
-        // highlight-start
-        meta: {
-        // highlight-end
-          title: 'My Dashboard',
-          description: 'The best dashboard in the world',
-        }
-      },
-    },
-  },
-}
-```

-Payload dynamically generates a beautiful, [fully type-safe](../typescript/overview) Admin Panel to manage your users and data. It is highly performant, even with 100+ fields, and is translated in over 30 languages. Within the Admin Panel you can manage content, [render your site](../live-preview/overview), [preview drafts](./preview), [diff versions](../versions/overview), and so much more.
+Payload dynamically generates a beautiful, fully functional React admin panel to manage your data. It's extremely powerful and can be customized / extended upon easily by swapping in your own React components. You can add additional views, modify how built-in views look / work, swap out Payload branding for your client's, build your own field types and much more.
 
-The Admin Panel is designed to [white-label your brand](https://payloadcms.com/blog/white-label-admin-ui). You can endlessly customize and extend the Admin UI by swapping in your own [Custom Components](../custom-components/overview)—everything from simple field labels to entire views can be modified or replaced to perfectly tailor the interface for your editors.
-
-The Admin Panel is written in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org) and built with [React](https://react.dev) using the [Next.js App Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/app). It supports [React Server Components](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-components), enabling the use of the [Local API](/docs/local-api/overview) on the front-end. You can install Payload into any [existing Next.js app in just one line](../getting-started/installation) and [deploy it anywhere](../production/deployment).
+The Payload Admin panel can be bundled with our officially supported [Vite](/docs/admin/vite) and [webpack](/docs/admin/webpack) bundlers or you can integrate another bundler following our adapter pattern approach.
+When bundled, it is code-split, highly performant (even with 100+ fields), and written fully in TypeScript.

-## Project Structure
-
-The Admin Panel serves as the entire HTTP layer for Payload, providing a full CRUD interface for your app. This means that both the [REST](../rest-api/overview) and [GraphQL](../graphql/overview) APIs are simply [Next.js Routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing) that exist directly alongside your front-end application.
-
-Once you [install Payload](../getting-started/installation), the following files and directories will be created in your app:
-
-```plaintext
-app/
-├─ (payload)/
-├── admin/
-├─── [[...segments]]/
-├──── page.tsx
-├──── not-found.tsx
-├── api/
-├─── [...slug]/
-├──── route.ts
-├── graphql/
-├──── route.ts
-├── graphql-playground/
-├──── route.ts
-├── custom.scss
-├── layout.tsx
-```
-
-<Banner type="info">
-  If you are not familiar with Next.js project structure, you can [learn more
-  about it here](https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/project-structure).
-</Banner>
-
-As shown above, all Payload routes are nested within the `(payload)` route group. This creates a boundary between the Admin Panel and the rest of your application by scoping all layouts and styles. The `layout.tsx` file within this directory, for example, is where Payload manages the `html` tag of the document to set proper [`lang`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/lang) and [`dir`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/dir) attributes, etc.
-
-The `admin` directory contains all the _pages_ related to the interface itself, whereas the `api` and `graphql` directories contains all the _routes_ related to the [REST API](../rest-api/overview) and [GraphQL API](../graphql/overview). All admin routes are [easily configurable](#customizing-routes) to meet your application's exact requirements.
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Note:** If you don't intend to use the Admin Panel, [REST
-  API](../rest-api/overview), or [GraphQL API](../graphql/overview), you can
-  opt-out by simply deleting their corresponding directories within your Next.js
-  app. The overhead, however, is completely constrained to these routes, and
-  will not slow down or affect Payload outside when not in use.
-</Banner>
-
-Finally, the `custom.scss` file is where you can add or override globally-oriented styles in the Admin Panel, such as modify the color palette. Customizing the look and feel through CSS alone is a powerful feature of the Admin Panel, [more on that here](./customizing-css).
-
-All auto-generated files will contain the following comments at the top of each file:
-
-```tsx
-/* THIS FILE WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY PAYLOAD. */,
-/* DO NOT MODIFY IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE REWRITTEN AT ANY TIME. */
-```
-
 ## Admin Options
 
-All options for the Admin Panel are defined in your [Payload Config](../configuration/overview) under the `admin` property:
-
-```ts
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
-
-const config = buildConfig({
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    // highlight-line
-    // ...
-  },
-})
-```
-
-The following options are available:
+All options for the Admin panel are defined in your base Payload config file.

 ### The Admin User Collection
 
-To specify which Collection to allow to login to the Admin Panel, pass the `admin.user` key equal to the slug of any auth-enabled Collection:
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Important:</strong>
+  <br />
+  The Payload Admin panel can only be used by one Collection that supports
+  [Authentication](/docs/authentication/overview).
+</Banner>
+
+To specify which Collection to use to log in to the Admin panel, pass the `admin` options a `user` key equal to the slug of the Collection that you'd like to use.
+
+`payload.config.js`:
 
 ```ts
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
 
 const config = buildConfig({
-  // ...
   admin: {
     user: 'admins', // highlight-line
   },
 })
 ```
 
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Important:**
+By default, if you have not specified a Collection, Payload will automatically provide you with a `User` Collection which will be used to access the Admin panel. You can customize or override the fields and settings of the default `User` Collection by passing your own collection using `users` as its `slug` to Payload. When this is done, Payload will use your provided `User` Collection instead of its default version.
 
-The Admin Panel can only be used by a single auth-enabled Collection. To enable authentication for a Collection, simply set `auth: true` in the Collection's configuration. See [Authentication](../authentication/overview) for more information.
+**Note: you can use whatever Collection you'd like to access the Admin panel as long as the Collection supports Authentication. It doesn't need to be called `users`!**
 
-</Banner>
+For example, you may wish to have two Collections that both support `Authentication`:
 
-By default, if you have not specified a Collection, Payload will automatically provide a `User` Collection with access to the Admin Panel. You can customize or override the fields and settings of the default `User` Collection by adding your own Collection with `slug: 'users'`. Doing this will force Payload to use your provided `User` Collection instead of its default version.
+- `admins` - meant to have a higher level of permissions to manage your data and access the Admin panel
+- `customers` - meant for end users of your app that should not be allowed to log into the Admin panel
 
-You can use whatever Collection you'd like to access the Admin Panel as long as the Collection supports [Authentication](/docs/authentication/overview). It doesn't need to be called `users`. For example, you may wish to have two Collections that both support authentication:
+This is totally possible. For the above scenario, by specifying `admin: { user: 'admins' }`, your Payload Admin panel will use `admins`. Any users logged in as `customers` will not be able to log in via the Admin panel.
 
-- `admins` - meant to have a higher level of permissions to manage your data and access the Admin Panel
-- `customers` - meant for end users of your app that should not be allowed to log into the Admin Panel
+### Light and dark modes
 
-To do this, specify `admin: { user: 'admins' }` in your config. This will provide access to the Admin Panel to only `admins`. Any users authenticated as `customers` will be prevented from accessing the Admin Panel. See [Access Control](/docs/access-control/overview) for full details.
+Users in the admin panel have access to choosing between light mode and dark mode for their editing experience. The setting is managed while logged into the admin UI within the user account page and will be stored with the browser. By default, the operating system preference is detected and used.
 
-### Role-based Access Control
+### Restricting user access
 
-It is also possible to allow multiple user types into the Admin Panel with limited permissions, known as role-based access control (RBAC). For example, you may wish to have two roles within the `admins` Collection:
-
-- `super-admin` - full access to the Admin Panel to perform any action
-- `editor` - limited access to the Admin Panel to only manage content
-
-To do this, add a `roles` or similar field to your auth-enabled Collection, then use the `access.admin` property to grant or deny access based on the value of that field. See [Access Control](/docs/access-control/overview) for full details. For a complete, working example of role-based access control, check out the official [Auth Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/auth).
-
-## Customizing Routes
-
-You have full control over the routes that Payload binds itself to. This includes both [Root-level Routes](#root-level-routes) such as the [REST API](../rest-api/overview), and [Admin-level Routes](#admin-level-routes) such as the user's account page. You can customize these routes to meet the needs of your application simply by specifying the desired paths in your config.
-
-### Root-level Routes
-
-Root-level routes are those that are not behind the `/admin` path, such as the [REST API](../rest-api/overview) and [GraphQL API](../graphql/overview), or the root path of the Admin Panel itself.
-
-To customize root-level routes, use the `routes` property in your [Payload Config](../configuration/overview):
-
-```ts
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
-
-const config = buildConfig({
-  // ...
-  routes: {
-    admin: '/custom-admin-route', // highlight-line
-  },
-})
-```
-
-The following options are available:
-
-| Option              | Default route         | Description                                       |
-| ------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
-| `admin`             | `/admin`              | The Admin Panel itself.                           |
-| `api`               | `/api`                | The [REST API](../rest-api/overview) base path.   |
-| `graphQL`           | `/graphql`            | The [GraphQL API](../graphql/overview) base path. |
-| `graphQLPlayground` | `/graphql-playground` | The GraphQL Playground.                           |
-
-<Banner type="success">
-  **Tip:** You can easily add _new_ routes to the Admin Panel through [Custom
-  Endpoints](../rest-api/overview#custom-endpoints) and [Custom
-  Views](../custom-components/custom-views).
-</Banner>
-
-#### Customizing Root-level Routes
-
-You can change the Root-level Routes as needed, such as to mount the Admin Panel at the root of your application.
-
-Changing Root-level Routes also requires a change to [Project Structure](#project-structure) to match the new route. For example, if you set `routes.admin` to `/`, you would need to completely remove the `admin` directory from the project structure:
-
-```plaintext
-app/
-├─ (payload)/
-├── [[...segments]]/
-├──── ...
-```
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Note:** If you set Root-level Routes _before_ auto-generating the Admin
-  Panel via `create-payload-app`, your [Project Structure](#project-structure)
-  will already be set up correctly.
-</Banner>
-
-### Admin-level Routes
-
-Admin-level routes are those behind the `/admin` path. These are the routes that are part of the Admin Panel itself, such as the user's account page, the login page, etc.
-
-To customize admin-level routes, use the `admin.routes` property in your [Payload Config](../configuration/overview):
-
-```ts
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
-
-const config = buildConfig({
-  // ...
-  admin: {
-    routes: {
-      account: '/my-account', // highlight-line
-    },
-  },
-})
-```
-
-The following options are available:
-
-| Option            | Default route        | Description                               |
-| ----------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
-| `account`         | `/account`           | The user's account page.                  |
-| `createFirstUser` | `/create-first-user` | The page to create the first user.        |
-| `forgot`          | `/forgot`            | The password reset page.                  |
-| `inactivity`      | `/logout-inactivity` | The page to redirect to after inactivity. |
-| `login`           | `/login`             | The login page.                           |
-| `logout`          | `/logout`            | The logout page.                          |
-| `reset`           | `/reset`             | The password reset page.                  |
-| `unauthorized`    | `/unauthorized`      | The unauthorized page.                    |
-
-<Banner type="success">
-  **Note:** You can also swap out entire _views_ out for your own, using the
-  `admin.views` property of the Payload Config. See [Custom
-  Views](../custom-components/custom-views) for more information.

-
-## I18n
-
-The Payload Admin Panel is translated in over [30 languages and counting](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/packages/translations). Languages are automatically detected based on the user's browser and used by the Admin Panel to display all text 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.
-
-## Light and Dark Modes
-
-Users in the Admin Panel have the ability to choose between light mode and dark mode for their editing experience. Users can select their preferred theme from their account page. Once selected, it is saved to their user's preferences and persisted across sessions and devices. If no theme was selected, the Admin Panel will automatically detect the operation system's theme and use that as the default.
-
-## Timezones
-
-The `admin.timezones` configuration allows you to configure timezone settings for the Admin Panel. You can customise the available list of timezones and in the future configure the default timezone for the Admin Panel and for all users.
-
-The following options are available:
-
-| Option               | Description                                                                                                     |
-| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `supportedTimezones` | An array of label/value options for selectable timezones where the value is the IANA name eg. `America/Detroit` |
-| `defaultTimezone`    | The `value` of the default selected timezone. eg. `America/Los_Angeles`                                         |
-
-We validate the supported timezones array by checking the value against the list of IANA timezones supported via the Intl API, specifically `Intl.supportedValuesOf('timeZone')`.
-
-<Banner type="info">
-  **Important** You must enable timezones on each individual date field via
-  `timezone: true`. See [Date Fields](../fields/overview#date) for more

 Out of the box, Payload handles the persistence of your users' preferences in a handful of ways, including:
 
-1. Columns in the Collection List View: their active state and order
-1. The user's last active [Locale](../configuration/localization)
-1. The "collapsed" state of `blocks`, `array`, and `collapsible` fields
-1. The last-known state of the `Nav` component, etc.
+1. Collection `List` view active columns, and their order, that users define

+This API is used significantly for internal operations of the Admin panel, as mentioned above. But, if you're building your own React components for use in the Admin panel, you can allow users to set their own preferences in correspondence to their usage of your components. For example:
 
 - If you have built a "color picker", you could "remember" the last used colors that the user has set for easy access next time
 - If you've built a custom `Nav` component, and you've built in an "accordion-style" UI, you might want to store the `collapsed` state of each Nav collapsible item. This way, if an editor returns to the panel, their `Nav` state is persisted automatically
 - You might want to store `recentlyAccessed` documents to give admin editors an easy shortcut back to their recently accessed documents on the `Dashboard` or similar
 - Many other use cases exist. Invent your own! Give your editors an intelligent and persistent editing experience.

----
-
-Preview is a feature that allows you to generate a direct link to your front-end application. When enabled, a "preview" button will appear on the Edit View within the [Admin Panel](./overview) with an href pointing to the URL you provide. This will provide your editors with a quick way of navigating to the front-end application where that Document's data is represented. Otherwise, they'd have to determine that URL themselves which is not always straightforward especially in complex apps.
-
-The Preview feature can also be used to achieve something known as "Draft Preview". With Draft Preview, you can navigate to your front-end application and enter "draft mode", where your queries are modified to fetch draft content instead of published content. This is useful for seeing how your content will look before being published. [More details](#draft-preview).
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Note:** Preview is different than [Live Preview](../live-preview/overview).
-  Live Preview loads your app within an iframe and renders it in the Admin Panel
-  allowing you to see changes in real-time. Preview, on the other hand, allows
-  you to generate a direct link to your front-end application.
-</Banner>
-
-To add Preview, pass a function to the `admin.preview` property in any [Collection Config](../configuration/collections#admin-options) or [Global Config](../configuration/globals#admin-options):
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'pages',
-  admin: {
-    preview: ({ slug }) => `http://localhost:3000/${slug}`,
-  },
-  fields: [
-    {
-      name: 'slug',
-      type: 'text',
-    },
-  ],
-}
-```
-
-## Options
-
-The `preview` function resolves to a string that points to your front-end application with additional URL parameters. This can be an absolute URL or a relative path, and can run async if needed.
-
-The following arguments are provided to the `preview` function:
-
-| Path          | Description                                                                                |
-| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| **`doc`**     | The data of the Document being edited. This includes changes that have not yet been saved. |
-| **`options`** | An object with additional properties.                                                      |
-
-The `options` object contains the following properties:
-
-| Path         | Description                                           |
-| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
-| **`locale`** | The current locale of the Document being edited.      |
-| **`req`**    | The Payload Request object.                           |
-| **`token`**  | The JWT token of the currently authenticated in user. |
-
-If your application requires a fully qualified URL, such as within deploying to Vercel Preview Deployments, you can use the `req` property to build this URL:
-
-```ts
-preview: (doc, { req }) => `${req.protocol}//${req.host}/${doc.slug}` // highlight-line
-```
-
-## Draft Preview
-
-The Preview feature can be used to achieve "Draft Preview". After clicking the preview button from the Admin Panel, you can enter into "draft mode" within your front-end application. This will allow you to adjust your page queries to include the `draft: true` param. When this param is present on the request, Payload will send back a draft document as opposed to a published one based on the document's `_status` field.
-
-To enter draft mode, the URL provided to the `preview` function can point to a custom endpoint in your front-end application that sets a cookie or session variable to indicate that draft mode is enabled. This is framework specific, so the mechanisms here very from framework to framework although the underlying concept is the same.
-
-### Next.js
-
-If you're using Next.js, you can do the following code to enter [Draft Mode](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/configuring/draft-mode).
-
-#### Step 1: Format the Preview URL
-
-First, format your `admin.preview` function to point to a custom endpoint that you'll open on your front-end. This URL should include a few key query search params:
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'pages',
-  admin: {
-    preview: ({ slug, collection }) => {
-      const encodedParams = new URLSearchParams({
-        slug,
-        collection,
-        path: `/${slug}`,
-        previewSecret: process.env.PREVIEW_SECRET || '',
-      })
-
-      return `/preview?${encodedParams.toString()}` // highlight-line
-    },
-  },
-  fields: [
-    {
-      name: 'slug',
-      type: 'text',
-    },
-  ],
-}
-```
-
-#### Step 2: Create the Preview Route
-
-Then, create an API route that verifies the preview secret, authenticates the user, and enters draft mode:
-
-`/app/preview/route.ts`
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionSlug, PayloadRequest } from 'payload'
-import { getPayload } from 'payload'
-
-import { draftMode } from 'next/headers'
-import { redirect } from 'next/navigation'
-
-import configPromise from '@payload-config'
-
-export async function GET(
-  req: {
-    cookies: {
-      get: (name: string) => {
-        value: string
-      }
-    }
-  } & Request,
-): Promise<Response> {
-  const payload = await getPayload({ config: configPromise })
-
-  const { searchParams } = new URL(req.url)
-
-  const path = searchParams.get('path')
-  const collection = searchParams.get('collection') as CollectionSlug
-  const slug = searchParams.get('slug')
-  const previewSecret = searchParams.get('previewSecret')
-
-  if (previewSecret !== process.env.PREVIEW_SECRET) {
-    return new Response('You are not allowed to preview this page', {
-      status: 403,
-    })
-  }
-
-  if (!path || !collection || !slug) {
-    return new Response('Insufficient search params', { status: 404 })
-  }
-
-  if (!path.startsWith('/')) {
-    return new Response(
-      'This endpoint can only be used for relative previews',
-      { status: 500 },
-    )
-  }
-
-  let user
-
-  try {
-    user = await payload.auth({
-      req: req as unknown as PayloadRequest,
-      headers: req.headers,
-    })
-  } catch (error) {
-    payload.logger.error(
-      { err: error },
-      'Error verifying token for live preview',
-    )
-    return new Response('You are not allowed to preview this page', {
-      status: 403,
-    })
-  }
-
-  const draft = await draftMode()
-
-  if (!user) {
-    draft.disable()
-    return new Response('You are not allowed to preview this page', {
-      status: 403,
-    })
-  }
-
-  // You can add additional checks here to see if the user is allowed to preview this page
-
-  draft.enable()
-
-  redirect(path)
-}
-```
-
-#### Step 3: Query Draft Content
-
-Finally, in your front-end application, you can detect draft mode and adjust your queries to include drafts:
-
-`/app/[slug]/page.tsx`
-
-```ts
-export default async function Page({ params: paramsPromise }) {
-  const { slug = 'home' } = await paramsPromise
-
-  const { isEnabled: isDraftMode } = await draftMode()
-
-  const payload = await getPayload({ config })
-
-  const page = await payload.find({
-    collection: 'pages',
-    depth: 0,
-    draft: isDraftMode, // highlight-line
-    limit: 1,
-    overrideAccess: isDraftMode,
-    where: {
-      slug: {
-        equals: slug,
-      },
-    },
-  })?.then(({ docs }) => docs?.[0])
-
-  if (page === null) {
-    return notFound()
-  }
-
-  return (
-    <main>
-      <h1>{page?.title}</h1>
-    </main>
-  )
-}
-```

+  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.

-To integrate with third-party APIs or services, you might need the ability to generate API keys that can be used to identify as a certain user within Payload. API keys are generated on a user-by-user basis, similar to email and passwords, and are meant to represent a single user.
-
-For example, if you have a third-party service or external app that needs to be able to perform protected actions against Payload, first you need to create a user within Payload, i.e. `dev@thirdparty.com`. From your external application you will need to authenticate with that user, you have two options:
-
-1. Log in each time with that user and receive an expiring token to request with.
-1. Generate a non-expiring API key for that user to request with.
-
-<Banner type="success">
-  **Tip:**
-
-This is particularly useful as you can create a "user" that reflects an integration with a specific external service and assign a "role" or specific access only needed by that service/integration.
-
-</Banner>
-
-Technically, both of these options will work for third-party integrations but the second option with API key is simpler, because it reduces the amount of work that your integrations need to do to be authenticated properly.
-
-To enable API keys on a collection, set the `useAPIKey` auth option to `true`. From there, a new interface will appear in the [Admin Panel](../admin/overview) for each document within the collection that allows you to generate an API key for each user in the Collection.
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const ThirdPartyAccess: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'third-party-access',
-  auth: {
-    useAPIKey: true, // highlight-line
-  },
-  fields: [],
-}
-```
-
-User API keys are encrypted within the database, meaning that if your database is compromised,
-your API keys will not be.
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  **Important:**
-  If you change your `PAYLOAD_SECRET`, you will need to regenerate your API keys.
-
-The secret key is used to encrypt the API keys, so if you change the secret, existing API keys will
-no longer be valid.
-
-</Banner>
-
-### HTTP Authentication
-
-To authenticate REST or GraphQL API requests using an API key, set the `Authorization` header. The header is case-sensitive and needs the slug of the `auth.useAPIKey` enabled collection, then " API-Key ", followed by the `apiKey` that has been assigned. Payload's built-in middleware will then assign the user document to `req.user` and handle requests with the proper [Access Control](../access-control/overview). By doing this, Payload recognizes the request being made as a request by the user associated with that API key.
-
-**For example, using Fetch:**
-
-```ts
-import Users from '../collections/Users'
-
-const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/pages', {
-  headers: {
-    Authorization: `${Users.slug} API-Key ${YOUR_API_KEY}`,
-  },
-})
-```
-
-Payload ensures that the same, uniform [Access Control](../access-control/overview) is used across all authentication strategies. This enables you to utilize your existing Access Control configurations with both API keys and the standard email/password authentication. This consistency can aid in maintaining granular control over your API keys.
-
-### API Key Only Auth
-
-If you want to use API keys as the only authentication method for a collection, you can disable the default local strategy by setting `disableLocalStrategy` to `true` on the collection's `auth` property. This will disable the ability to authenticate with email and password, and will only allow for authentication via API key.
-
-```ts
-import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
-
-export const ThirdPartyAccess: CollectionConfig = {
-  slug: 'third-party-access',
-  auth: {
-    useAPIKey: true,
-    disableLocalStrategy: true, // highlight-line
-  },
-}

+
+### API keys
+
+To integrate with third-party APIs or services, you might need the ability to generate API keys that can be used to identify as a certain user within Payload.
+
+In Payload, users are essentially documents within a collection. Just like you can authenticate as a user with an email and password, which is considered as our default local auth strategy, you can also authenticate as a user with an API key. API keys are generated on a user-by-user basis, similar to email and passwords, and are meant to represent a single user.
+
+For example, if you have a third-party service or external app that needs to be able to perform protected actions at its discretion, you have two options:
+
+1. Create a user for the third-party app, and log in each time to receive a token before you attempt to access any protected actions
+1. Enable API key support for the Collection, where you can generate a non-expiring API key per user in the collection. This is particularly useful as you can create a "user" that reflects an integration with a specific external service and assign a "role" or specific access only needed by that service/integration. Alternatively, you could create a "super admin" user and assign an API key to that user so that any requests made with that API key are considered as being made by that super user.
+
+Technically, both of these options will work for third-party integrations but the second option with API key is simpler, because it reduces the amount of work that your integrations need to do to be authenticated properly.
+
+To enable API keys on a collection, set the `useAPIKey` auth option to `true`. From there, a new interface will appear in the Admin panel for each document within the collection that allows you to generate an API key for each user in the Collection.
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  User API keys are encrypted within the database, meaning that if your database is compromised,
+  your API keys will not be.
+</Banner>
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Important:</strong>
+  If you change your `PAYLOAD_SECRET`, you will need to regenerate your API keys.
+  <br />
+  The secret key is used to encrypt the API keys, so if you change the secret, existing API keys will no longer be valid.
+</Banner>
+
+#### Authenticating via API Key
+
+To authenticate REST or GraphQL API requests using an API key, set the `Authorization` header. The header is case-sensitive and needs the slug of the `auth.useAPIKey` enabled collection, then " API-Key ", followed by the `apiKey` that has been assigned. Payload's built-in middleware will then assign the user document to `req.user` and handle requests with the proper access control. By doing this, Payload recognizes the request being made as a request by the user associated with that API key.
+
+**For example, using Fetch:**
+
+```ts
+import User from '../collections/User'
+
+const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/pages', {
+  headers: {
+    Authorization: `${User.slug} API-Key ${YOUR_API_KEY}`,
+  },
+})
+```
+
+Payload ensures that the same, uniform access control is used across all authentication strategies. This enables you to utilize your existing access control configurations with both API keys and the standard email/password authentication. This consistency can aid in maintaining granular control over your API keys.
+
+#### API Key _Only_ Authentication
+
+If you want to use API keys as the only authentication method for a collection, you can disable the default local strategy by setting `disableLocalStrategy` to `true` on the collection's `auth` property. This will disable the ability to authenticate with email and password, and will only allow for authentication via API key.
+
+```ts
+import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
+
+export const Customers: CollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'customers',
+  auth: {
+    useAPIKey: true,
+    disableLocalStrategy: true,
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Forgot Password
+
+You can customize how the Forgot Password workflow operates with the following options on the `auth.forgotPassword` property:
+
+**`generateEmailHTML`**
+
+Function that accepts one argument, containing `{ req, token, user }`, that allows for overriding the HTML within emails that are sent to users attempting to reset their password. The function should return a string that supports HTML, which can be a full HTML email.
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  <strong>Tip:</strong>
+  <br />
+  HTML templating can be used to create custom email templates, inline CSS automatically, and more.
+  You can make a reusable function that standardizes all email sent from Payload, which makes
+  sending custom emails more DRY. Payload doesn't ship with an HTML templating engine, so you are
+  free to choose your own.
+</Banner>
+
+Example:
+
+```ts
+import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
+
+export const Customers: CollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'customers',
+  auth: {
+    forgotPassword: {
+      // highlight-start
+      generateEmailHTML: ({ req, token, user }) => {
+        // Use the token provided to allow your user to reset their password
+        const resetPasswordURL = `https://yourfrontend.com/reset-password?token=${token}`
+
+        return `
+          <!doctype html>
+          <html>
+            <body>
+              <h1>Here is my custom email template!</h1>
+              <p>Hello, ${user.email}!</p>
+              <p>Click below to reset your password.</p>
+              <p>
+                <a href="${resetPasswordURL}">${resetPasswordURL}</a>
+              </p>
+            </body>
+          </html>
+        `
+      },
+      // highlight-end
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Important:</strong>
+  <br />
+  If you specify a different URL to send your users to for resetting their password, such as a page
+  on the frontend of your app or similar, you need to handle making the call to the Payload REST or
+  GraphQL reset-password operation yourself on your frontend, using the token that was provided for
+  you. Above, it was passed via query parameter.
+</Banner>
+
+**`generateEmailSubject`**
+
+Similarly to the above `generateEmailHTML`, you can also customize the subject of the email. The function argument are the same but you can only return a string - not HTML.
+
+Example:
+
+```ts
+{
+  slug: 'customers',
+  auth: {
+    forgotPassword: {
+      // highlight-start
+      generateEmailSubject: ({ req, user }) => {
+        return `Hey ${user.email}, reset your password!`;
+      }
+      // highlight-end
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Email Verification
+
+If you'd like to require email verification before a user can successfully log in, you can enable it by passing `true` or an `options` object to `auth.verify`. The following options are available:
+
+**`generateEmailHTML`**
+
+Function that accepts one argument, containing `{ req, token, user }`, that allows for overriding the HTML within emails that are sent to users indicating how to validate their account. The function should return a string that supports HTML, which can optionally be a full HTML email.
+
+Example:
+
+```ts
+import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
+
+export const Customers: CollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'customers',
+  auth: {
+    verify: {
+      // highlight-start
+      generateEmailHTML: ({ req, token, user }) => {
+        // Use the token provided to allow your user to verify their account
+        const url = `https://yourfrontend.com/verify?token=${token}`
+
+        return `Hey ${user.email}, verify your email by clicking here: ${url}`
+      },
+      // highlight-end
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+

+      }
+      // highlight-end
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Strategies
+
+As of Payload `1.0.0`, you can add additional authentication strategies to Payload easily by passing them to your collection's `auth.strategies` array.
+
+Behind the scenes, Payload uses PassportJS to power its local authentication strategy, so most strategies listed on the PassportJS website will work seamlessly. Combined with adding custom components to the admin panel's `Login` view, you can create advanced authentication strategies directly within Payload.
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  This is an advanced feature, so only attempt this if you are an experienced developer. Otherwise,
+  just let Payload's built-in authentication handle user auth for you.
+</Banner>
+
+The `strategies` property is an array that takes objects with the following properties:
+
+**`strategy`**
+
+This property can accept a Passport strategy directly, or you can pass a function that takes a `payload` argument, and returns a Passport strategy.
+
+**`name`**
+
+If you pass a strategy to the `strategy` property directly, the `name` property is optional and allows you to override the strategy's built-in name.
+
+However, if you pass a function to `strategy`, `name` is a required property.
+
+In either case, Payload will prefix the strategy name with the collection `slug` that the strategy is passed to.
+
+### Admin autologin
+
+For testing and demo purposes you may want to skip forcing the admin user to login in order to access the panel.
+The `admin.autologin` property is used to configure the how visitors are handled when accessing the admin panel.
+The default is that all users will have to login and this should not be enabled for environments where data needs to protected.
+
+#### autoLogin Options
+
+| Option            | Description                                                                                                     |
+| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **`email`**       | The email address of the user to login as                                                                       |
+| **`password`**    | The password of the user to login as                                                                            |
+| **`prefillOnly`** | If set to true, the login credentials will be prefilled but the user will still need to click the login button. |
+
+The recommended way to use this feature is behind an environment variable to ensure it is disabled when in production.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```ts
+export default buildConfig({
+  admin: {
+    user: 'users',
+    // highlight-start
+    autoLogin:
+      process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUTOLOGIN === 'true'
+        ? {
+            email: 'test@example.com',
+            password: 'test',
+            prefillOnly: true,
+          }
+        : false,
+    // highlight-end
+  },
+  collections: [
+    /** */
+  ],
+})
+```
