+# Reproduction Guide
+
+1. [fork](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/fork) this repo
+2. run `yarn` to install dependencies
+3. open up the `test/_community` directory
+4. add any necessary `collections/globals/fields` in this directory to recreate the issue you are experiencing
+5. run `yarn dev _community` to start the admin panel
+
+**NOTE:** The goal is to isolate the problem by reducing the number of `collections/globals/fields` you add to the `test/_community` folder. This folder is _not_ meant for you to copy your project into, but rather recreate the issue you are experiencing with minimal config.
+
+## Example test directory file tree
+
+```text
+.
+├── config.ts
+├── int.spec.ts
+├── e2e.spec.ts
+└── payload-types.ts
+```
+
+- `config.ts` - This is the _granular_ Payload config for testing. It should be as lightweight as possible. Reference existing configs for an example
+- `int.spec.ts` [Optional] - This is the test file run by jest. Any test file must have a `*int.spec.ts` suffix.
+- `e2e.spec.ts` [Optional] - This is the end-to-end test file that will load up the admin UI using the above config and run Playwright tests.
+- `payload-types.ts` - Generated types from `config.ts`. Generate this file by running `yarn dev:generate-types _community`.
+
+The directory split up in this way specifically to reduce friction when creating tests and to add the ability to boot up Payload with that specific config. You should modify the files in `test/_community` to get started.
+
+<br />
+
+## Testing is optional but encouraged
+
+An issue does not need to have failing tests — reproduction steps with your forked repo are enough at this point. Some people like to dive deeper and we want to give you the guidance/tools to do so. Read more below:
+
+### Running integration tests (Payload API tests)
+
+First install [Jest Runner for VSVode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=firsttris.vscode-jest-runner).
+
+There are a couple ways run integration tests:
+
+- **Granularly** - you can run individual tests in vscode by installing the Jest Runner plugin and using that to run individual tests. Clicking the `debug` button will run the test in debug mode allowing you to set break points.
+
+  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/payloadcms/payload/main/packages/payload/src/admin/assets/images/github/int-debug.png" />
+
+- **Manually** - you can run all int tests in the `/test/_community/int.spec.ts` file by running the following command:
+
+  ```bash
+  yarn test:int _community
+  ```
+
+### Running E2E tests (Admin Panel UI tests)
+
+The easiest way to run E2E tests is to install
+
+- [Playwright Test for VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-playwright.playwright)
+- [Playwright Runner](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortoni.ortoni)
+
+Once they are installed you can open the `testing` tab in vscode sidebar and drill down to the test you want to run, i.e. `/test/_community/e2e.spec.ts`
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/payloadcms/payload/main/packages/payload/src/admin/assets/images/github/e2e-debug.png" />
+
+#### Notes
+
+- It is recommended to add the test credentials (located in `test/credentials.ts`) to your autofill for `localhost:3000/admin` as this will be required on every nodemon restart. The default credentials are `dev@payloadcms.com` as email and `test` as password.

+# Contributing to Payload
+
+Below you'll find a set of guidelines for how to contribute to Payload.
+
+## Opening issues
+
+Before you submit an issue, please check all existing [open and closed issues](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues) to see if your issue has previously been resolved or is already known. If there is already an issue logged, feel free to upvote it by adding a :thumbsup: [reaction](https://github.com/blog/2119-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and-comments). If you would like to submit a new issue, please fill out our Issue Template to the best of your ability so we can accurately understand your report.
+
+## Security issues & vulnerabilities
+
+If you come across an issue related to security, or a potential attack vector within Payload or one of its dependencies, please DO NOT create a publicly viewable issue. Instead, please contact us directly at [`dev@payloadcms.com`](mailto:dev@payloadcms.com). We will do everything we can to respond to the issue as soon as possible.
+
+If you find a vulnerability within the core Payload repository, and we determine that it is remediable and of significant nature, we will be happy to pay you a reward for your findings and diligence. [`Contact us`](mailto:dev@payloadcms.com) to find out more.
+
+## Documentation edits
+
+Payload documentation can be found directly within its codebase and you can feel free to make changes / improvements to any of it through opening a PR. We utilize these files directly in our website and will periodically deploy documentation updates as necessary.
+
+## Building additional features
+
+If you're an incredibly awesome person and want to help us make Payload even better through new features or additions, we would be thrilled to work with you.
+
+## Design Contributions
+
+When it comes to design-related changes or additions, it's crucial for us to ensure a cohesive user experience and alignment with our broader design vision. Before embarking on any implementation that would affect the design or UI/UX, we ask that you **first share your design proposal** with us for review and approval.
+
+Our design review ensures that proposed changes fit seamlessly with other components, both existing and planned. This step is meant to prevent unintentional design inconsistencies and to save you from investing time in implementing features that might need significant design alterations later.
+
+### Before Starting
+
+To help us work on new features, you can create a new feature request post in [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions) or discuss it in our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/payload). New functionality often has large implications across the entire Payload repo, so it is best to discuss the architecture and approach before starting work on a pull request.
+
+### Code
+
+Most new functionality should keep testing in mind. With 1.0, testability of new features has been vastly improved. All top-level directories within the `test/` directory are for testing a specific category: `fields`, `collections`, etc.
+
+If it makes sense to add your feature to an existing test directory, please do so.
+
+A typical directory with `test/` will be structured like this:
+
+```text
+.
+├── config.ts
+├── int.spec.ts
+├── e2e.spec.ts
+└── payload-types.ts
+```
+
+- `config.ts` - This is the _granular_ Payload config for testing. It should be as lightweight as possible. Reference existing configs for an example
+- `int.spec.ts` - This is the test file run by jest. Any test file must have a `*int.spec.ts` suffix.
+- `e2e.spec.ts` - This is the end-to-end test file that will load up the admin UI using the above config and run Playwright tests. These tests are typically only needed if a large change is being made to the Admin UI.
+- `payload-types.ts` - Generated types from `config.ts`. Generate this file by running `pnpm dev:generate-types my-test-dir`.
+
+The directory split up in this way specifically to reduce friction when creating tests and to add the ability to boot up Payload with that specific config.
+
+The following command will start Payload with your config: `pnpm dev my-test-dir`. This command will start up Payload using your config and refresh a test database on every restart.
+
+By default, it will automatically log you in with the default credentials. To disable that, you can either pass in the --no-auto-login flag (example: `pnpm dev my-test-dir --no-auto-login`) or set the `PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_DISABLE_AUTO_LOGIN` environment variable to `false`.
+
+If you wish to use to your own Mongo database for the `test` directory instead of using the in memory database, all you need to do is add the following env vars to the `test/dev.ts` file:
+
+- `process.env.NODE_ENV`
+- `process.env.PAYLOAD_TEST_MONGO_URL`
+- Simply set `process.env.NODE_ENV` to `test` and set `process.env.PAYLOAD_TEST_MONGO_URL` to your mongo url e.g. `mongodb://127.0.0.1/your-test-db`.
+
+NOTE: It is recommended to add the test credentials (located in `test/credentials.ts`) to your autofill for `localhost:3000/admin` as this will be required on every nodemon restart. The default credentials are `dev@payloadcms.com` as E-Mail and `test` as password.
+
+### Commits
+
+We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) for our commit messages. Please follow this format when creating commits. Here are some examples:
+
+- `feat: adds new feature`
+- `fix: fixes bug`
+- `docs: adds documentation`
+- `chore: does chore`
+
+Here's a breakdown of the format. At the top-level, we use the following types to categorize our commits:
+
+- `feat`: new feature that adds functionality. These are automatically added to the changelog when creating new releases.
+- `fix`: a fix to an existing feature. These are automatically added to the changelog when creating new releases.
+- `docs`: changes to [docs](./docs) only. These do not appear in the changelog.
+- `chore`: changes to code that is neither a fix nor a feature (e.g. refactoring, adding tests, etc.). These do not appear in the changelog.
+
+If you are committing to [templates](./templates) or [examples](./examples), use the `chore` type with the proper scope, like this:
+
+- `chore(templates): adds feature to template`
+- `chore(examples): fixes bug in example`
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+For all Pull Requests, you should be extremely descriptive about both your problem and proposed solution. If there are any affected open or closed issues, please leave the issue number in your PR message.

+# Reporting an issue
+
+To report an issue, please follow the steps below:
+
+1. Fork this repository
+2. Add necessary collections/globals/fields to the `test/_community` directory to recreate the issue you are experiencing
+3. Create an issue and add a link to your forked repo
+
+**The goal is to isolate the problem by reducing the number of fields/collections you add to the test/\_community folder. This folder is not meant for you to copy your project into, but to recreate the issue you are experiencing with minimal config.**
+
+## Test directory file tree explanation
+
+```text
+.
+├── config.ts
+├── int.spec.ts
+├── e2e.spec.ts
+└── payload-types.ts
+```
+
+- `config.ts` - This is the _granular_ Payload config for testing. It should be as lightweight as possible. Reference existing configs for an example
+- `int.spec.ts` [Optional] - This is the test file run by jest. Any test file must have a `*int.spec.ts` suffix.
+- `e2e.spec.ts` [Optional] - This is the end-to-end test file that will load up the admin UI using the above config and run Playwright tests.
+- `payload-types.ts` - Generated types from `config.ts`. Generate this file by running `pnpm dev:generate-types _community`.
+
+The directory split up in this way specifically to reduce friction when creating tests and to add the ability to boot up Payload with that specific config. You should modify the files in `test/_community` to get started.
+
+## How to start test collection admin UI
+
+To start the admin panel so you can manually recreate your issue, you can run the following command:
+
+```bash
+# This command will start up Payload using your config
+# NOTE: it will wipe the test database on restart
+pnpm dev _community
+```
+
+## Testing is optional but encouraged
+
+An issue does not need to have failing tests — reproduction steps with your forked repo are enough at this point. Some people like to dive deeper and we want to give you the guidance/tools to do so. Read more below.
+
+### How to run integration tests (Payload API tests)
+
+There are a couple ways to do this:
+
+- **Granularly** - you can run individual tests in vscode by installing the Jest Runner plugin and using that to run individual tests. Clicking the `debug` button will run the test in debug mode allowing you to set break points.
+
+  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/payloadcms/payload/main/src/admin/assets/images/github/int-debug.png" />
+
+- **Manually** - you can run all int tests in the `/test/_community/int.spec.ts` file by running the following command:
+
+  ```bash
+  pnpm test:int _community
+  ```
+
+### How to run E2E tests (Admin Panel UI tests)
+
+The easiest way to run E2E tests is to install
+
+- [Playwright Test for VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-playwright.playwright)
+- [Playwright Runner](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortoni.ortoni)
+
+Once they are installed you can open the `testing` tab in vscode sidebar and drill down to the test you want to run, i.e. `/test/_community/e2e.spec.ts`
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/payloadcms/payload/main/src/admin/assets/images/github/e2e-debug.png" />
+
+#### Notes
+
+- It is recommended to add the test credentials (located in `test/credentials.ts`) to your autofill for `localhost:3000/admin` as this will be required on every nodemon restart. The default credentials are `dev@payloadcms.com` as email and `test` as password.

+<a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions"><strong>Request Feature</strong></a>
 
-Payload is a CMS that has been designed for developers from the ground up to deliver them what they need to build great digital products. If you know JavaScript, you know Payload. It's a _code-first_ CMS, which allows us to do a lot of things right:
-
-- Payload gives you everything you need, but then steps back and lets you build what you want in JavaScript or TypeScript - with no unnecessary complexity brought by GUIs. You'll understand how your CMS works because you will have written it exactly how you want it.
-- Bring your own Express server and do whatever you need on top of Payload. Payload doesn't impose anything on you or your app.
-- Completely control the Admin panel by using your own React components. Swap out fields or even entire views with ease.
-- Use your data however and wherever you need thanks to auto-generated, yet fully extensible REST, GraphQL, and Local Node APIs.

-# Contributing to Payload CMS
-
-Below you'll find a set of guidelines for how to contribute to Payload CMS.
-
-## Opening issues
-
-Before you submit an issue, please check all existing [open and closed issues](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues) to see if your issue has previously been resolved or is already known. If there is already an issue logged, feel free to upvote it by adding a :thumbsup: [reaction](https://github.com/blog/2119-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and-comments). If you would like to submit a new issue, please fill out our Issue Template to the best of your ability so we can accurately understand your report.
-
-## Security issues & vulnerabilities
-
-If you come across an issue related to security, or a potential attack vector within Payload or one of its dependencies, please DO NOT create a publicly viewable issue. Instead, please contact us directly at [`dev@payloadcms.com`](mailto:dev@payloadcms.com). We will do everything we can to respond to the issue as soon as possible.
-
-If you find a vulnerability within the core Payload repository, and we determine that it is remediable and of significant nature, we will be happy to pay you a reward for your findings and diligence. [`Contact us`](mailto:dev@payloadcms.com) to find out more.
-
-## Documentation edits
-
-Payload documentation can be found directly within its codebase and you can feel free to make changes / improvements to any of it through opening a PR. We utilize these files directly in our website and will periodically deploy documentation updates as necessary.
-
-## Building additional features
-
-If you're an incredibly awesome person and want to help us make Payload even better through new features or additions, we would be thrilled to work with you.
-
-### Before Starting
-
-To help us work on new features, you can create a new feature request post in [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions) or discuss it in our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/r6sCXqVk3v). New functionality often has large implications across the entire Payload repo, so it is best to discuss the architecture and approach before starting work on a pull request.
-
-### Code
-
-Most new functionality should keep testing in mind. With 1.0, testability of new features has been vastly improved. All top-level directories within the `test/` directory are for testing a specific category: `fields`, `collections`, etc.
-
-If it makes sense to add your feature to an existing test directory, please do so.
-
-A typical directory with `test/` will be structured like this:
-
-```text
-.
-├── config.ts
-├── int.spec.ts
-├── e2e.spec.ts
-└── payload-types.ts
-```
-
-- `config.ts` - This is the _granular_ Payload config for testing. It should be as lightweight as possible. Reference existing configs for an example
-- `int.spec.ts` - This is the test file run by jest. Any test file must have a `*int.spec.ts` suffix.
-- `e2e.spec.ts` - This is the end-to-end test file that will load up the admin UI using the above config and run Playwright tests. These tests are typically only needed if a large change is being made to the Admin UI.
-- `payload-types.ts` - Generated types from `config.ts`. Generate this file by running `yarn dev:generate-types my-test-dir`.
-
-The directory split up in this way specifically to reduce friction when creating tests and to add the ability to boot up Payload with that specific config.
-
-The following command will start Payload with your config: `yarn dev my-test-dir`. This command will start up Payload using your config and refresh a test database on every restart.
-
-NOTE: It is recommended to add the test credentials to your autofill for `localhost:3000/admin` as this will be required on every nodemon restart.
-
-## Pull Requests
-
-For all Pull Requests, you should be extremely descriptive about both your problem and proposed solution. If there are any affected open or closed issues, please leave the issue number in your PR message.

+desc: Bundlers are used to bundle the code that serves Payload's Admin Panel.
+---
+
+Payload has two official bundlers, the [Webpack Bundler](/docs/admin/webpack) and the [Vite Bundler](/docs/admin/vite). You must install a bundler to use the admin panel.
+
+##### Install a bundler
+
+Webpack (recommended):
+
+```text
+yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-webpack
+```
+
+Vite (beta):
+
+```text
+yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-vite
+```
+
+##### Configure the bundler
+
+```ts
+// payload.config.ts
+
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
+// import { viteBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-vite'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  // highlight-start
+  admin: {
+    bundler: webpackBundler() // or viteBundler()
+  },
+  // highlight-end
+})
+```
+
+### What are bundlers?
+
+At their core, a bundler's main goal is to take a bunch of files and turn them into a few optimized files that you ship to the browser. The admin UI has a root `index.html` entry point, and from there the bundler traverses the dependency tree, bundling all of the files that are required from that point on.
+
+Since the bundled file is sent to the browser, it can't include any server-only code. You will need to remove any server-only code from your admin UI before bundling it. You can learn more about [excluding server code](/docs/admin/excluding-server-code) section.
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Using environment variables in the admin UI</strong>
+  <br />
+  Bundles should not contain sensitive information. By default, Payload
+  excludes env variables from the bundle. If you need to use env variables in your payload config,
+  you need to prefix them with `PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_` to make them available to the client-side code.

+#### 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 dy 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. Payload exposes all of the properties of `<Route />` component in [React Router v5](https://v5.reactrouter.com):
+
+| 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)                                   |

+_\* 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',
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```

+#### 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 dy 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

+
+To swap specific _nested_ views within the parent `Edit` view, you can use the `admin.components.views.Edit` property on the globals's config. This will only replace the nested view, leaving the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc intact.
+
+```ts

+
+#### 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 dy 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)._
+
+To swap specific _nested_ views within the parent `Edit` view, you can use the `admin.components.views.Edit` property on the globals's config. This will only replace the nested view, leaving the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs intact.
+
+```ts
+// Global.ts
+{
+  // ...
+  admin: {
+    components: {
+      views: {
+        Edit: {
+          Default: MyCustomDefaultTab,
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+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 dy 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:
+

+</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/master/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/master/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.

+
+## 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 './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.

 ```
 
-### Getting other field values from the form
-
-There are times when a custom field component needs to have access to data from other fields. This can be done using `getDataByPath` from `useWatchForm` as follows:
-
-```tsx
-import { useWatchForm } from 'payload/components/forms';
-
-const DisplayFee: React.FC = () => {
-  const { getDataByPath } = useWatchForm();

-
-### Getting the document ID
-
-The document ID can be very useful for certain custom components. You can get the `id` from the `useDocumentInfo` hook. Here is an example of a `UI` field using `id` to link to related collections:
-
-```tsx
-import { useDocumentInfo } from 'payload/components/utilities';
-
-const LinkFromCategoryToPosts: React.FC = () => {

+
+**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`.
+
+First create new file that exports an empty object:
+```js
+// mocks/emptyObject.js
+
+export default {}
+```
+
+Then, in your Payload config, you can alias the file containing the server-only module to the mock module. For example, here's how you'd do this in Webpack:
+
+```ts
+// payload.config.ts
+
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
+
+const mockModulePath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'mocks/emptyObject.js')
+const pathToFileWithServerOnlyModule = path.resolve(__dirname, 'hooks/syncStripeCustomer.ts')
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  admin: {
+    bundler: webpackBundler(),
+    webpack: (config) => {
+      return {
+        ...config,
+        resolve: {
+          ...config.resolve,
+          // highlight-start
+          alias: {
+            ...config.resolve.alias,
+            [pathToFileWithServerOnlyModule]: mockModulePath,
+          },
+          // highlight-end
+        },
+      }
+    },
+  },
+})
+```

+---
+
+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

 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 Payload Admin panel is built with Webpack, code-split, highly performant (even with 100+ fields), and written fully in TypeScript.
+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.

 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.

+
+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
+```
+
+<Banner>
+  The Vite bundler is currently in beta. If you would like to help us test this package, we'd love to hear if you find any bugs or issues!
+</Banner>
+
+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, an alias will only match if the `find` property _exactly matches_ how you are importing your server-only file. So if you are importing a file with a relative path, i.e. `'../../my-module'`, and your alias is absolute, your alias will not work.
+
+
+**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
+  'payload-plugin-cool': 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`. 
+
+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: {
+    vite: (incomingViteConfig) => ({
+      ...incomingViteConfig,
+      resolve: {
+        ...incomingViteConfig.resolve,
+        // Do whatever you need here 
+      }
+    })
+  }
+})
+```
+
+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.

+The function will receive the Webpack config as an argument and should return the modified config.

-</Banner>
-
-**As-is, this collection will prevent your Admin panel from bundling or loading correctly, because Stripe relies on some Node-only packages.**
-
-To remedy this issue you can extend the Payload Webpack config to alias your entire `createStripeSubscription` hook to a separate, empty mock file.
-
-Example in `payload.config.js`:
-```js
-import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config';
-import path from 'path';
-import Subscription from './collections/Subscription';
-
-const createStripeSubscriptionPath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'collections/Subscription/hooks/createStripeSubscription.js');
-const mockModulePath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'mocks/emptyObject.js');
-
-export default buildConfig({
-	collections: [
-		Subscription
-	],
-	admin: {
-		webpack: (config) => ({
-			...config,
-			resolve: {
-				...config.resolve,
-				alias: {
-					...config.resolve.alias,
-					[createStripeSubscriptionPath]: mockModulePath,
-				}
-			}
-		})
-	}
-});
-```
-
-The above code will alias the file at path `createStripeSubscriptionPath` to a mocked module, which might look like this:
-
-`mocks/emptyObject.js`
-```js
-export default {};
-```
-
-Now, when Webpack sees that you're attempting to import your `createStripeSubscriptionPath` file, it'll disregard that actual file and load your mock file instead. Not only will your Admin panel now bundle successfully, you will have optimized its filesize by removing unnecessary code! And you might have learned something about Webpack, too.

-
-By default, `env` variables are **not** provided to the Admin panel for security and safety reasons. But, Payload provides you with a way to still provide `env` vars to your frontend code.
-
-**Payload will automatically supply any present `env` variables that are prefixed with `PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_` directly to the Admin panel.**
-
-For example, if you've got the following environment variable:
-
-`PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_test_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX`
-
-This key will automatically be made available to the Payload bundle and can be referenced in your Admin component code as `process.env.PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY`.

 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
+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.

-##### Authenticating via API Key
+#### Authenticating via API Key
 
-To utilize your API key while interacting with the REST or GraphQL API, add the `Authorization` header.
+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
-const response = await fetch("http://localhost:3000/api/pages", {
+import User from '../collections/User'
+
+const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/pages', {
   headers: {
-    Authorization: `${collection.labels.singular} API-Key ${YOUR_API_KEY}`,
+    Authorization: `${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: {

+---
+
+A deployment solution specifically designed for Node.js + MongoDB applications, offering seamless deployment of your entire stack in one place. You can get started in minutes with a one-click template or bring your own codebase with you.
+
+Payload Cloud offers various plans tailored to meet your specific needs, including a MongoDB Atlas database, S3 file storage, and email delivery powered by [Resend](https://resend.com). To see a full breakdown of features and plans, see our [Cloud Pricing page](https://payloadcms.com/cloud-pricing).
+
+To get started, you first need to create an account. Head over to [the login screen](https://payloadcms.com/login) and **Register for Free**.
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  To create your first project, you can either select [a template](#starting-from-a-template) or
+  [import an existing project](#importing-from-an-existing-codebase) from GitHub.
+</Banner>
+
+## Starting from a Template
+
+Templates come preconfigured and provide a one-click solution to quickly deploy a new application.
+
+![Screen for creating a new project from a template](https://payloadcms.com/images/docs/cloud/create-from-template.jpg)
+_Creating a new project from a template._
+
+After creating an account, select your desired template from the Projects page. At this point, you need to connect to authorize the Payload Cloud application with your GitHub account. Click Continue with GitHub and follow the prompts to authorize the app.
+
+Next, select your `GitHub Scope`. If you belong to multiple organizations, they will show up here. If you do not see the organization you are looking for, you may need to adjust your GitHub app permissions.
+
+After selecting your scope, create a unique `repository name` and select whether you want your repository to be public or private on GitHub.
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  <strong>Note:</strong> Public repositories can be accessed by anyone online, while private
+  repositories grant access only to you and anyone you explicitly authorize.
+</Banner>
+
+Once you are ready, click **Create Project**. This will clone the selected template to a new repository in your GitHub account, and take you to the configuration page to set up your project for deployment.
+
+## Importing from an Existing Codebase
+
+Payload Cloud works for any Node.js + MongoDB app. From the New Project page, select **import an existing Git codebase**. Choose the organization and select the repository you want to import. From here, you will be taken to the configuration page to set up your project for deployment.

+### Overview
+
+<Banner>
+  The overview tab shows your most recent deployment, along with build and deployment logs. From
+  here, you can see your live URL, deployment details like timestamps and commit hash, as well as
+  the status of your deployment. You can also trigger a redeployment manually, which will rebuild
+  your project using the current configuration.
+</Banner>
+
+![Payload Cloud Overview Page](https://payloadcms.com/images/docs/cloud/overview-page.jpg)
+_A screenshot of the Overview page for a Cloud project._
+
+### Database
+
+Your Payload Cloud project comes with a MongoDB serverless Atlas DB instance or a Dedicated Atlas cluster, depending on your plan. To interact with your cloud database, you will be provided with a MongoDB connection string. This can be found under the **Database** tab of your project.
+
+`mongodb+srv://your_connection_string`
+
+### File Storage
+
+Payload Cloud gives you S3 file storage backed by Cloudflare as a CDN, and this plugin extends Payload so that all of your media will be stored in S3 rather than locally.
+
+AWS Cognito is used for authentication to your S3 bucket. The [Payload Cloud Plugin](https://github.com/payloadcms/plugin-cloud) will automatically pick up these values. These values are only if you'd like to access your files directly, outside of Payload Cloud.
+
+### Build Settings
+
+You can update settings from your Project’s Settings tab. Changes to your build settings will trigger a redeployment of your project.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+From the Environment Variables page of the Settings tab, you can add, update and delete variables for use in your project. Like build settings, these changes will trigger a redeployment of your project.
+
+<Banner>
+  Note: For security reasons, any variables you wish to provide to the Admin panel must be prefixed
+  with `PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_`.  Learn more
+  [here](https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/webpack#admin-environment-vars).
+</Banner>
+
+### Custom Domains
+
+With Payload Cloud, you can add custom domain names to your project. To do so, first go to the Domains page of the Settings tab of your project. Here you can see your default domain. To add a new domain, type in the domain name you wish to use.
+
+<Banner>
+  Note: do not include the protocol (http:// or https://) or any paths (/page). Only include the
+  domain name and extension, and optionally a subdomain. - your-domain.com - backend.your-domain.com
+</Banner>
+
+Once you click save, a DNS record will be generated for your domain name to point to your live project. Add this record into your DNS provider’s records, and once the records are resolving properly (this can take 1hr to 48hrs in some cases), your domain will now to point to your live project.
+
+You will also need to configure your Payload project to use your specified domain. In your `payload.config.ts` file, specify your `serverURL` with your domain:
+
+```ts
+export default buildConfig({
+  serverURL: 'https://example.com',
+  // the rest of your config,
+})
+```
+
+### Email
+
+Powered by [Resend](https://resend.com), Payload Cloud comes with integrated email support out of the box. No configuration is needed, and you can use `payload.sendEmail()` to send email right from your Payload app. To learn more about sending email with Payload, checkout the [Email Configuration](https://payloadcms.com/docs/email/overview) overview.
+
+If you are on the Pro or Enterprise plan, you can add your own custom Email domain name. From the Email page of your project’s Settings, add the domain you wish to use for email delivery. This will generate a set of DNS records. Add these records to your DNS provider and click verify to check that your records are resolving properly. Once verified, your emails will now be sent from your custom domain name.
+
+### Developing Locally
+
+To make changes to your project, you will need to clone the repository defined in your project settings to your local machine. In order to run your project locally, you will need configure your local environment first. Refer to your repository’s `README.md` file to see the steps needed for your specific template.
+
+From there, you are ready to make updates to your project. When you are ready to make your changes live, commit your changes to the branch you specified in your Project settings, and your application will automatically trigger a redeploy and build from your latest commit.
+
+### Cloud Plugin
+
+Projects generated from a template will come pre-configured with the official Cloud Plugin, but if you are using your own repository you will need to add this into your project. To do so, add the plugin to your Payload config:
+
+`yarn add @payloadcms/plugin-cloud`
+
+```js
+import { payloadCloud } from '@payloadcms/plugin-cloud'
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  plugins: [payloadCloud()],
+  // rest of config
+})
+```
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  **Note:** If your Payload config already has an email with transport, this will take precedence
+  over Payload Cloud's email service.
+</Banner>
+
+##### **Optional configuration**
+
+If you wish to opt-out of any Payload cloud features, the plugin also accepts options to do so.
+
+```js
+payloadCloud({
+  storage: false, // Disable file storage
+  email: false, // Disable email delivery
+})
+```

+Each team has members that can interact with your projects. You can invite multiple people to your team and each individual can belong to more than one team. You can assign them either `owner` or `user` permissions. Owners are able to make admin-only changes, such as deleting projects, and editing billing information.
+
+### Adding Members
+
+To add a new member to your team, visit your Team’s Settings page, and click “Invite Teammate”. You can then add their email address, and assign their role. Press “Save” to send the invitations, which will send an email to the invited team member where they can create a new account.
+
+### Billing
+
+Users can update billing settings and subscriptions for any teams where they are designated as an `owner`. To make updates to the team’s payment methods, visit the Billing page under the Team Settings tab. You can add new cards, delete cards, and set a payment method as a default. The default payment method will be used in the event that another payment method fails.
+
+### Subscriptions
+
+From the Subscriptions page, a team owner can see all current plans for their team. From here, you can see the price of each plan, if there is an active trial, and when you will be billed next.

-In the List view, there is a "search" box that allows you to quickly find a document with a search. By default, it searches on the ID field. If you have `admin.useAsTitle` defined, the list search will use that field. However, you can define more than one field to search to make it easier on your admin editors to find the data they need.

+### Admin Hooks
+
+In addition to collection hooks themselves, Payload provides for admin UI-specific hooks that you can leverage.
+
+**`beforeDuplicate`**
+
+The `beforeDuplicate` hook is an async function that accepts an object containing the data to duplicate, as well as the
+locale of the doc to duplicate. Within this hook, you can modify the data to be duplicated, which is useful in cases
+where you have unique fields that need to be incremented or similar, as well as if you want to automatically modify a
+document's `title`.
+
+Example:
+
+```ts
+import { BeforeDuplicate, CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
+// Your auto-generated Page type
+import { Page } from '../payload-types.ts'
+
+const beforeDuplicate: BeforeDuplicate<Page> = ({ data }) => {
+  return {
+    ...data,
+    title: `${data.title} Copy`,
+    uniqueField: data.uniqueField ? `${data.uniqueField}-copy` : '',
+  }
+}
+
+export const Page: CollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'pages',
+  admin: {
+    hooks: {
+      beforeDuplicate,
+    },
+  },
+  fields: [
+    {
+      name: 'title',
+      type: 'text',
+    },
+    {
+      name: 'uniqueField',
+      type: 'text',
+      unique: true,
+    },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
 ### TypeScript
 
 You can import collection types as follows:
 
 ```ts
-import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types';
+import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
 
 // This is the type used for incoming collection configs.
 // Only the bare minimum properties are marked as required.
 ```
 
 ```ts
-import { SanitizedCollectionConfig } from 'payload/types';
+import { SanitizedCollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
 
 // This is the type used after an incoming collection config is fully sanitized.
 // Generally, this is only used internally by Payload.

+### Custom Middleware
+
+Payload allows you to pass in custom Express middleware to be used on all of the routes it opens. This is useful for adding logging or any other custom functionality to your endpoints.

+If the function is specified, a Preview button will automatically appear in the corresponding global's Edit view. Clicking the Preview button will link to the URL that is generated by the function.
+
+**The preview function accepts two arguments:**
+
+1. The document being edited
+1. An `options` object, containing `locale` and `token` properties. The `token` is the currently logged-in user's JWT.
+
+**Example global with preview function:**
+
+```ts
+import { GlobalConfig } from 'payload/types'
+
+export const MyGlobal: GlobalConfig = {
+  slug: 'my-global',
+  fields: [
+    {
+      name: 'slug',
+      type: 'text',
+      required: true,
+    },
+  ],
+  admin: {
+    preview: (doc, { locale }) => {
+      if (doc?.slug) {
+        return `https://bigbird.com/preview/${doc.slug}?locale=${locale}`
+      }
+
+      return null

+desc: Manage and customize internationalization support in your CMS editor experience
+keywords: internationalization, i18n, config, configuration, documentation, Content Management System, cms, headless, javascript, node, react, express
+---
+
+Not only does Payload support managing localized content, it also has internationalization support so that admin users can work in their preferred language. Payload's i18n support is built on top of [i18next](https://www.i18next.com). It comes included by default and can be extended in your config.
+
+While Payload's built-in features come translated, you may want to also translate parts of your project's configuration too. This is possible in places like collections and globals labels and groups, field labels, descriptions and input placeholder text. The admin UI will display all the correct translations you provide based on the user's language.
+
+Here is an example of a simple collection supporting both English and Spanish editors:
+
+```ts
+import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
+
+export const Articles: CollectionConfig = {
+  slug: 'articles',
+  labels: {
+    singular: {
+      en: 'Article',
+      es: 'Artículo',
+    },
+    plural: {
+      en: 'Articles',
+      es: 'Artículos',
+    },
+  },
+  admin: {
+    group: { en: 'Content', es: 'Contenido' },
+  },
+  fields: [
+    {
+      name: 'title',
+      type: 'text',
+      label: {
+        en: 'Title',
+        es: 'Título',
+      },
+      admin: {
+        placeholder: { en: 'Enter title', es: 'Introduce el título' },
+      },
+    },
+    {
+      name: 'type',
+      type: 'radio',
+      options: [
+        {
+          value: 'news',
+          label: { en: 'News', es: 'Noticias' },
+        }, // etc...
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+### Admin UI
+
+The Payload admin panel reads the language settings of a user's browser and display all text in that language, or will fall back to English if the user's language is not yet supported.
+After a user logs in, they can change their language selection in the `/account` view.
+
+<Banner>
+  <strong>Note:</strong>
+  <br />
+  If there is a language that Payload does not yet support, we accept code
+  [contributions](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/contributing.md).
+</Banner>
+
+### Node Express
+
+Payload's backend uses express middleware to set the language on incoming requests before they are handled. This allows backend validation to return error messages in the user's own language or system generated emails to be sent using the correct translation. You can make HTTP requests with the `accept-language` header and Payload will use that language.
+
+Anywhere in your Payload app that you have access to the `req` object, you can access i18next's extensive internationalization features assigned to `req.i18n`. To access text translations you can use `req.t('namespace:key')`.
+
+Read the i18next [API documentation](https://www.i18next.com/overview/api) to learn more.
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+In your Payload config, you can add translations and customize the settings in `i18n`. Payload will use your custom options and merge it with the default, allowing you to override the settings Payload provides.
+
+**Example Payload config extending i18n:**
+
+```ts
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  //...
+  i18n: {
+    fallbackLng: 'en', // default
+    debug: false, // default
+    resources: {
+      en: {
+        custom: {
+          // namespace can be anything you want
+          key1: 'Translation with {{variable}}', // translation
+        },
+        // override existing translation keys
+        general: {
+          dashboard: 'Home',
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+  //...
+})

 We suggest using the `dotenv` package to handle environment variables alongside of Payload. All that's necessary to do is to require the package as high up in your application as possible (for example, at the top of your `server.js` file), and ensure that it can find an `.env` file that you create.
 
 **Add this line to the top of your server:**
+
 ```
 require('dotenv').config()
 // ...
 // the rest of your `server.js` file goes here
 ```
 
+Note that if you rely on any environment variables in your config itself, you should also call `dotenv()` at the top of your config itself as well. There's no harm in calling it in both your server and your config itself!

-### Customizing & overriding the config location
+### Customizing & Automating Config Location Detection
 
-By default, the Payload config must be in the root of your current working directory and named either `payload.config.js` or `payload.config.ts` if you're using TypeScript.
+Payload is designed to automatically locate your configuration file. By default, it will first look in the root of your current working directory for a file named `payload.config.js` or `payload.config.ts` if you're using TypeScript.
 
-But, you can specify where your Payload config is located as well as what it's named by using the environment variable `PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH`. The path you provide via this environment variable can either be absolute or relative to your current working directory.
+In development mode, if the configuration file is not found at the root, Payload will attempt to read your `tsconfig.json`, and search in the directory specified in `compilerOptions.rootDir` (typically "src").
+
+In production mode, Payload will first attempt to find the config file in the output directory specified in `compilerOptions.outDir` of your `tsconfig.json`, then fallback to the source directory (`compilerOptions.rootDir`), and finally will check the 'dist' directory.
+
+Please ensure your `tsconfig.json` is properly configured if you want Payload to accurately auto-detect your configuration file location. If `tsconfig.json` does not exist or doesn't specify `rootDir` or `outDir`, Payload will default to the current working directory.
+
+#### Overriding the Config Location
+
+In addition to the above automated detection, you can specify your own location for the Payload config file. This is done by using the environment variable `PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH`. The path you provide via this environment variable can either be absolute or relative to your current working directory. This can be useful in situations where your Payload config is not in a standard location, or you wish to switch between multiple configurations.
 
 **Example in package.json:**
 
-```
+```json
 {
-	"scripts": {
-		"dev": "PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH=path/to/custom-config.js node server.js",
-	}
+  "scripts": {
+    "dev": "PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH=path/to/custom-config.js node server.js"
+  }
 }
 ```
 
+When `PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH` is set, Payload will use this path to load the configuration, bypassing all automated detection.
+
 ### Developing within the Config
 
-The Payload config itself, as well as all files that it requires or imports, are run through Babel. TypeScript and all common ES6 features are fully supported. To see the Babel config that is used to parse Payload configs, check out the Payload source code [here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/master/src/babel.config.js).
-
 Payload comes with `isomorphic-fetch` installed which means that even in Node, you can use the `fetch` API just as you would within the browser. No need to import `axios` or similar, unless you want to!
 
-#### Payload Config and Babel
-
-The entire Payload config is transpiled automatically by Payload via `babel`.
-
-If for any reason you need to re-use the built-in Payload `babel.config.js`, you can do so by importing it as follows:
-
-```
-import { config } from 'payload/babel';
-```
-
-<Banner type="warning">
-  <strong>Note:</strong><br/>
-  Because the Payload config is transpiled internally, if you want to import it to share or reuse any of its properties within your own Node server's code, you need to make sure that <em>you manually transpile it</em> using <strong>babel-register</strong> or similar. For example, if you try to import your config directly into your server, your Node process will likely crash because the Payload config supports React components, TypeScript, and new ES6+ features.
-</Banner>
-
-However, you can share code, like for example your config's `serverURL` property by "hoisting" your shared properties above your config and writing any "shared" code in a module that is compatible with your Node environment.
-
-For example, to share your `serverURL`, you could create a file like the following:
-
-`serverURL.js`:
-
-```js
-const serverURL = 'http://localhost:3000';
-
-module.exports = serverURL;
-```
-
-Then, you could import this file into both your Payload config and your server, in an effort to avoid importing your full Payload config directly into your server.
-
-
 ### TypeScript
 
 You can import config types as follows:
 
 ```ts
-import { Config } from 'payload/config';
+import { Config } from 'payload/config'
 
 // This is the type used for an incoming Payload config.
 // Only the bare minimum properties are marked as required.
 ```
 
 ```ts
-import { SanitizedConfig } from 'payload/config';
+import { SanitizedConfig } from 'payload/config'
 
 // This is the type used after an incoming Payload config is fully sanitized.
 // Generally, this is only used internally by Payload.

+Payload exposes a full suite of migration controls available for your use. Migration commands are accessible via the `npm run payload` command in your project directory.
+
+Ensure you have an npm script called "payload" in your `package.json` file.

+  }
+}
+```
+
+<Banner>
+  Note that you need to run Payload migrations through the package manager that you are using, because Payload should not be globally installed on your system.
+</Banner>
+
+### Migration file contents
+
+Payload stores all created migrations in a folder that you can specify. By default, migrations are stored in `./src/migrations`.
+
+A migration file has two exports - an `up` function, which is called when a migration is executed, and a `down` function that will be called if for some reason the migration fails to complete successfully. The `up` function should contain all changes that you attempt to make within the migration, and the `down` should ideally revert any changes you make.
+
+For an added level of safety, migrations should leverage Payload [transactions](/docs/database/transactions).
+
+Here is an example migration file:
+
+```ts
+import { MigrateUpArgs, MigrateDownArgs } from '@payloadcms/your-db-adapter'
+
+export async function up({ payload }: MigrateUpArgs): Promise<void> {
+  // Perform changes to your database here.
+  // You have access to `payload` as an argument, and
+  // everything is done in TypeScript.
+};
+
+export async function down({ payload }: MigrateDownArgs): Promise<void> {
+  // Do whatever you need to revert changes if the `up` function fails
+};
+```
+
+All database adapters should implement similar migration patterns, but there will be small differences based on the adapter and its specific needs. Below is a list of all migration commands that should be supported by your database adapter.
+
+### Migrate
+
+The `migrate` command will run any migrations that have not yet been run.
+
+```text
+npm run payload migrate
+```
+
+### Create
+
+Create a new migration file in the migrations directory. You can optionally name the migration that will be created. By default, migrations will be named using a timestamp.
+
+```text
+npm run payload migrate:create optional-name-here
+```
+
+### Status
+
+The `migrate:status` command will check the status of migrations and output a table of which migrations have been run, and which migrations have not yet run.
+
+`payload migrate:status`
+
+```text
+npm run payload migrate:status
+```
+
+### Down
+
+Roll back the last batch of migrations.
+
+```text
+npm run payload migrate:down
+```
+
+### Refresh
+
+Roll back all migrations that have been run, and run them again.
+
+```text
+npm run payload migrate:refresh
+```
+
+### Reset
+
+Roll back all migrations.
+
+```text
+npm run payload migrate:reset

+
+Payload interacts with your database via the database adapter that you choose. Right now, Payload officially supports two database adapters:
+
+1. [MongoDB](/docs/database/mongodb) w/ [Mongoose](https://mongoosejs.com/)
+1. [Postgres](/docs/database/postgres) w/ [Drizzle](https://drizzle.team/)
+
+We will be adding support for SQLite and MySQL in the near future using Drizzle ORM.
+
+To use a specific database adapter, you need to install it and configure it according to its own specifications. Visit the documentation for your applicable database adapter to learn more.
+
+## Selecting a database
+
+There are several factors to consider when choosing which database technology and hosting option is right for your project and workload. Payload can theoretically support any database, but it's up to you to decide which database to use.
+
+#### When to use MongoDB
+
+If your project has a lot of dynamic fields, and you are comfortable with allowing Payload to enforce data integrity across your documents, MongoDB is a great choice. With it, your Payload documents are stored as _one_ document in your database—no matter if you have localization enabled, how many block or array fields you have, etc. This means that the shape of your data in your database will very closely reflect your field schema, and there is minimal complexity involved in storing or retrieving your data.
+
+You should prefer MongoDB if:
+
+- You prefer simplicity within your database
+- You don't want to deal with keeping production / staging databases in sync via [DDL changes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_definition_language)
+- Most (or everything) in your project is localized
+- You leverage a lot of array fields, block fields, or `hasMany` select fields and similar
+
+#### When to use a relational DB
+
+Many projects might call for more rigid database architecture where the shape of your data is strongly enforced at the database level. For example, if you know the shape of your data and it's relatively "flat", and you don't anticipate it to change often, your workload might suit relational databases like Postgres very well.
+
+You should prefer a relational DB like Postgres if:
+
+- You are comfortable with migration workflows
+- You require enforced data consistency at the database level
+- You have a lot of relationships between collections and require relationships to be enforced
+
+#### Differences in Payload features
+
+It's important to note that almost everything Payload does is available in all of our officially supported database adapters, including localization, arrays, blocks, etc. 
+
+The only thing that is not supported in Postgres yet is the [Point field](/docs/fields/point), but that should be added soon. 
+
+It's up to you to choose which database you would like to use.
+
+## Configuration
+
+To configure the database for your Payload application, an adapter can be assigned to `config.db`. This property is required within your Payload config. 
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```ts
+import { postgresAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-postgres'
+
+export default buildConfig({
+  // Your config goes here
+  collections: [
+    // Collections go here
+  ],
+  // Here is where you pass your database adapter
+  // and the adapter will require options specific to itself
+  db: postgresAdapter({
+    pool: {
+      connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URI,
+    }
+  }),
+})
+```
