+# 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.

+We cannot recreate the issue with the provided information. **Please add a reproduction in order for us to be able to investigate.**
+
+### 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@beta -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.

 4. Add a `DOCS_DIR` environment variable to the `.env` file which points to the absolute path of your modified docs folder. For example `DOCS_DIR=/Users/yourname/Documents/GitHub/payload/docs`
 5. Run `yarn run fetchDocs:local`. If this was successful, you should see no error messages and the following output: _Docs successfully written to /.../website/src/app/docs.json_. There could be error messages if you have incorrect markdown in your local docs folder. In this case, it will tell you how you can fix it
 6. You're done! Now you can start the website locally using `yarn run dev` and preview the docs under [http://localhost:3000/docs/](http://localhost:3000/docs/)

+## 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')
+```

 When constructing the `ClientConfig`, Payload uses the component paths as keys to fetch the corresponding React Component imports from the Import Map. It then substitutes the `PayloadComponent` with a `MappedComponent`. A `MappedComponent` includes the React Component and additional metadata, such as whether it's a server or a client component and which props it should receive. These components are then rendered through the `<RenderComponent />` component within the Payload Admin Panel.

 To make building Custom Components as easy as possible, Payload automatically provides common props, such as the [`payload`](../local-api/overview) class and the [`i18n`](../configuration/i18n) object. This means that when building Custom Components within the Admin Panel, you do not have to get these yourself.

+
+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 {

-All Field Components are passed a client-friendly version of their Field Config through a common `field` prop.

+All Field Components are passed their own Field Config through a common `field` prop. Within Server Components, this is the original Field Config as written within your Payload Config. Within Client Components, however, this is a "Client Config", which is a sanitized, client-friendly version of the Field Config. This is because the original Field Config is [non-serializable](https://react.dev/reference/rsc/use-client#serializable-types), meaning it cannot be passed into Client Components without first being transformed.
 
-The exact shape of this prop is unique to the specific [Field Type](../fields/overview) being rendered, minus all non-serializable properties. Any [Custom Components](../components) are also resolved into a "mapped component" that is safe to pass.
+The Client Field Config is an exact copy of the original Field Config, minus all non-serializable properties, plus all evaluated functions such as field labels, [Custom Components](../components), etc.

+label: Document Locking
+order: 90
+desc: Ensure your documents are locked while being edited, preventing concurrent edits from multiple users and preserving 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 the document for that user. If another user tries to access the same document, they will be notified that it is currently being edited and can choose one of the following options:
+
+- View in Read-Only Mode: View the document without making any changes.
+- Take Over Editing: 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"> <strong>Note:</strong> If your application does not require document locking, you can disable this feature for any collection by setting the <code>lockDocuments</code> property to <code>false</code>. </Banner>
+
+### Config Options
+
+The lockDocuments property exists on both the Collection Config and the Global Config. By default, document locking is enabled for all collections and globals, but you can customize the lock duration or disable the feature entirely.
+
+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 API and the REST API, 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.

+#### Cross domain authentication
+
+If your frontend is on a different domain than your Payload API then you will not be able to use HTTP-only cookies for authentication by default as they will be considered third-party cookies by the browser.
+There are a few strategies to get around this:
+
+##### 1. Use subdomains
+
+Cookies can cross subdomains without being considered third party cookies, for example if your API is at api.example.com then you can authenticate from example.com.
+
+##### 2. Configure cookies
+
+If option 1 isn't possible, then you can get around this limitation by [configuring your cookies](./overview#config-options) on your authentication collection to achieve the following setup:
+
+```
+SameSite: None // allows the cookie to cross domains
+Secure: true // ensures its sent over HTTPS only
+HttpOnly: true // ensures its not accessible via client side JavaScript
+```
+
+Configuration example:
+
+```ts
+{
+  slug: 'users',
+  auth: {
+    cookies: {
+      sameSite: 'None',
+      secure: true,
+    }
+  },
+  fields: [
+    // your auth fields here
+  ]
+},
+```
+
+If you're configuring [cors](../production/preventing-abuse#cross-origin-resource-sharing-cors) in your Payload config, you won't be able to use a wildcard anymore, you'll need to specify the list of allowed domains.
+
+
+<Banner type="success">

+  Setting up <code>secure: true</code> will not work if you're developing on <code>http://localhost</code> or any non-https domain. For local development you should conditionally set this to <code>false</code> based on the environment.

+## Drizzle schema hooks
+
+### beforeSchemaInit
+
+Runs before the schema is built. You can use this hook to extend your database structure with tables that won't be managed by Payload.
+
+```ts
+import { sqliteAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-sqlite'
+import { integer, sqliteTable } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core'
+
+sqliteAdapter({
+  beforeSchemaInit: [
+    ({ schema, adapter }) => {
+      return {
+        ...schema,
+        tables: {
+          ...schema.tables,
+          addedTable: sqliteTable('added_table', {
+            id: integer('id').primaryKey({ autoIncrement: true }),
+          }),
+        },
+      }
+    },
+  ],
+})
+```
+
+One use case is preserving your existing database structure when migrating to Payload. By default, Payload drops the current database schema, which may not be desirable in this scenario.
+To quickly generate the Drizzle schema from your database you can use [Drizzle Introspection](https://orm.drizzle.team/kit-docs/commands#introspect--pull)
+You should get the `schema.ts` file which may look like this:
+
+```ts
+import { sqliteTable, text, uniqueIndex, integer } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core'
+
+export const users = sqliteTable('users', {
+  id: integer('id').primaryKey({ autoIncrement: true }),
+  fullName: text('full_name'),
+  phone: text('phone', {length: 256}),
+})
+
+export const countries = sqliteTable(
+  'countries',
+  {
+    id: integer('id').primaryKey({ autoIncrement: true }),
+    name: text('name', { length: 256 }),
+  },
+  (countries) => {
+    return {
+      nameIndex: uniqueIndex('name_idx').on(countries.name),
+    }
+  },
+)
+
+```
+
+You can import them into your config and append to the schema with the `beforeSchemaInit` hook like this:
+
+```ts
+import { sqliteAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-sqlite'
+import { users, countries } from '../drizzle/schema'

docs/database/transactions.mdx

@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ desc: Database transactions are fully supported within Payload.
 
 Database transactions allow your application to make a series of database changes in an all-or-nothing commit. Consider an HTTP request that creates a new **Order** and has an `afterChange` hook to update the stock count of related **Items**. If an error occurs when updating an **Item** and an HTTP error is returned to the user, you would not want the new **Order** to be persisted or any other items to be changed either. This kind of interaction with the database is handled seamlessly with transactions.
 
-By default, Payload will use transactions for all operations, as long as it is supported by the configured database. Database changes are contained within all Payload operations and any errors thrown will result in all changes being rolled back without being committed. When transactions are not supported by the database, Payload will continue to operate as expected without them.

@@ -69,6 +69,63 @@ The following functions can be used for managing transactions:
 `payload.db.commitTransaction` - Takes the identifier for the transaction, finalizes any changes.
 `payload.db.rollbackTransaction` - Takes the identifier for the transaction, discards any changes.
 
+Payload uses the `req` object to pass the transaction ID through to the database adapter. If you are not using the `req` object, you can make a new object to pass the transaction ID directly to database adapter methods and local API calls.
+Example:
+
+```ts
+import payload from 'payload'
+import config from './payload.config'
+
+const standalonePayloadScript = async () => {
+  // initialize Payload
+  await payload.init({ config })
+

 ## Disabling Transactions
 
 If you wish to disable transactions entirely, you can do so by passing `false` as the `transactionOptions` in your database adapter configuration. All the official Payload database adapters support this option.
+
+In addition to allowing database transactions to be disabled at the adapter level. You can prevent Payload from using a transaction in direct calls to the local API by adding `disableTransaction: true` to the args. For example:
+
+```ts
+await payload.update({
+  collection: 'posts',
+  data: {
+    some: 'data',
+  },
+  where: {

 In this example, we have an Array Field called `slider` that contains a set of fields for a simple image slider. Each row in the array has a `title`, `image`, and `caption`. We also customize the row label to display the title if it exists, or a default label if it doesn't.

+
+The Join Field is used to make Relationship and Upload fields available in the opposite direction. With a Join you can
+edit and view collections
+having reference to a specific collection document. The field itself acts as a virtual field, in that no new data is
+stored on the collection with a Join
+field. Instead, the Admin UI surfaces the related documents for a better editing experience and is surfaced by Payload's
+APIs.
+
+The Join field is useful in scenarios including:
+
+- To surface `Order`s for a given `Product`
+- To view and edit `Posts` belonging to a `Category`
+- To work with any bi-directional relationship data
+- Displaying where a document or upload is used in other documents

+alt="Shows Join field in the Payload Admin Panel"
+caption="Admin Panel screenshot of Join field"
+/>
+
+For the Join field to work, you must have an existing [relationship](./relationship) or [upload](./upload) field in the
+collection you are joining. This will reference the collection and path of the field of the related documents.
+To add a Relationship Field, set the `type` to `join` in your [Field Config](./overview):
+
+```ts
+import type { Field } from 'payload'
+
+export const MyJoinField: Field = {
+  // highlight-start
+  name: 'relatedPosts',
+  type: 'join',
+  collection: 'posts',
+  on: 'category',
+  // highlight-end
+}
+
+// relationship field in another collection:
+export const MyRelationshipField: Field = {
+  name: 'category',
+  type: 'relationship',
+  relationTo: 'categories',
+}
+```
+
+In this example, the field is defined to show the related `posts` when added to a `category` collection. The `on`
+property is used to specify the relationship field name of the field that relates to the collection document.
+
+With this example, if you navigate to a Category in the Admin UI or an API response, you'll now see that the Posts which
+are related to the Category are populated for you. This is extremely powerful and can be used to define a wide variety
+of relationship types in an easy manner.

+  The Join field is extremely performant and does not add additional query overhead to your API responses until you add depth of 1 or above. It works in all database adapters. In MongoDB, we use <strong>aggregations</strong> to automatically join in related documents, and in relational databases, we use joins.

+
+### Schema advice
+
+When modeling your database, you might come across many places where you'd like to feature bi-directional relationships.
+But here's an important consideration—you generally only want to store information about a given relationship in _one_
+place.
+
+Let's take the Posts and Categories example. It makes sense to define which category a post belongs to while editing the
+post.
+
+It would generally not be necessary to have a list of post IDs stored directly on the category as well, for a few
+reasons:
+
+- You want to have a "single source of truth" for relationships, and not worry about keeping two sources in sync with
+  one another
+- If you have hundreds, thousands, or even millions of posts, you would not want to store all of those post IDs on a
+  given category
+- Etc.
+
+This is where the `join` field is especially powerful. With it, you only need to store the `category_id` on the `post`,
+and Payload will automatically join in related posts for you when you query for categories. The related category is only
+stored on the post itself - and is not duplicated on both sides. However, the `join` field is what enables
+bi-directional APIs and UI for you.
+
+### Using the Join field to have full control of your database schema
+
+For typical polymorphic / many relationships, if you're using Postgres or SQLite, Payload will automatically create
+a `posts_rels` table, which acts as a junction table to store all of a given document's relationships.
+
+However, this might not be appropriate for your use case if you'd like to have more control over your database
+architecture. You might not want to have that `_rels` table, and would prefer to maintain / control your own junction
+table design.
+
+<Banner type="success">
+  With the Join field, you can control your own junction table design, and avoid Payload's automatic _rels table creation.
+</Banner>
+
+The `join` field can be used in conjunction with _any_ collection - and if you wanted to define your own "junction"
+collection, which, say, is called `categories_posts` and has a `post_id` and a `category_id` column, you can achieve
+complete control over the shape of that junction table.
+
+You could go a step further and leverage the `admin.hidden` property of the `categories_posts` collection to hide the
+collection from appearing in the Admin UI navigation.
+
+#### Specifying additional fields on relationships
+
+Another very powerful use case of the `join` field is to be able to define "context" fields on your relationships. Let's
+say that you have Posts and Categories, and use join fields on both your Posts and Categories collection to join in
+related docs from a new pseudo-junction collection called `categories_posts`. Now, the relations are stored in this
+third junction collection, and can be surfaced on both Posts and Categories. But, importantly, you could add
+additional "context" fields to this shared junction collection.
+
+For example, on this `categories_posts` collection, in addition to having the `category` and `post` fields, we could add
+custom "context" fields like `featured` or `spotlight`,
+which would allow you to store additional information directly on relationships.
+The `join` field gives you complete control over any type of relational architecture in Payload, all wrapped up in a
+powerful Admin UI.

+## Admin Config Options
+
+You can control the user experience of the join field using the `admin` config properties. The following options are supported:
+
+| Option                 | Description                                                                            |

+
+## Join Field Data
+
+When a document is returned that for a Join field is populated with related documents. The structure returned is an
+object with:
+
+- `docs` an array of related documents or only IDs if the depth is reached
+- `hasNextPage` a boolean indicating if there are additional documents
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "66e3431a3f23e684075aae9c",
+  "relatedPosts": {
+    "docs": [
+      {
+        "id": "66e3431a3f23e684075aaeb9",
+        // other fields...
+        "category": "66e3431a3f23e684075aae9c"
+      }
+      // { ... }
+    ],
+    "hasNextPage": false
+  }
+  // other fields...
+}
+```
+
+## Query Options
+
+The Join Field supports custom queries to filter, sort, and limit the related documents that will be returned. In
+addition to the specific query options for each Join Field, you can pass `joins: false` to disable all Join Field from
+returning. This is useful for performance reasons when you don't need the related documents.
+
+The following query options are supported:
+
+| Property    | Description                                                  |
+|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **`limit`** | The maximum related documents to be returned, default is 10. |
+| **`where`** | An optional `Where` query to filter joined documents.        |
+| **`sort`**  | A string used to order related results                       |
+
+These can be applied to the local API, GraphQL, and REST API.
+
+### Local API
+
+By adding `joins` to the local API you can customize the request for each join field by the `name` of the field.
+
+```js
+const result = await db.findOne('categories', {
+  where: {
+    title: {
+      equals: 'My Category'
+    }
+  },
+  joins: {
+    relatedPosts: {
+      limit: 5,
+      where: {
+        title: {
+          equals: 'My Post'
+        }
+      },
+      sort: 'title'
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Rest API
+
+The rest API supports the same query options as the local API. You can use the `joins` query parameter to customize the
+request for each join field by the `name` of the field. For example, an API call to get a document with the related
+posts limited to 5 and sorted by title:
+
+`/api/categories/${id}?joins[relatedPosts][limit]=5&joins[relatedPosts][sort]=title`
+
+You can specify as many `joins` parameters as needed for the same or different join fields for a single request.
+
+### GraphQL
+
+The GraphQL API supports the same query options as the local and REST APIs. You can specify the query options for each
+join field in your query.
+
+Example:
+
+```graphql
+query {
+  Categories {
+    docs {
+      relatedPosts(
+        sort: "createdAt"
+        limit: 5
+        where: {
+          author: {
+            equals: "66e3431a3f23e684075aaeb9"
+          }
+        }
+      ) {
+        docs {
+          title
+        }
+        hasNextPage
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+## Bi-directional relationships
+
+The `relationship` field on its own is used to define relationships for the document that contains the relationship field, and this can be considered as a "one-way" relationship. For example, if you have a Post that has a `category` relationship field on it, the related `category` itself will not surface any information about the posts that have the category set.

+However, the `relationship` field can be used in conjunction with the `Join` field to produce powerful bi-directional relationship authoring capabilities. If you're interested in bi-directional relationships, check out the [documentation for the Join field](./join).
