### What?
In the create-first-user view, fields like `richText` were being marked
as `readOnly: true` because they had no permissions entry in the
permissions map.
### Why?
The view was passing an incomplete `docPermissions` object.
When a field had no entry in `docPermissions.fields`, `renderField`
received `permissions: undefined`, which was interpreted as denied
access.
This caused fields (notably `richText`) to default to read-only even
though the user should have full access when creating the first user.
### How?
- Updated the create-first-user view to always pass a complete
`docPermissions` object.
- Default all fields in the user collection to `{ create: true, read:
true, update: true }`.
- Ensures every field is explicitly granted full access during the
first-user flow.
- Keeps the `renderField` logic unchanged and aligned with Payload’s
permission model.

Autosave is run with default depth, causing form state and the document
info context to be inconsistent across the load/autosave/save lifecycle.
For example, when loading the app, the document is queried with `depth:
0` and relationships are _not_ populated. Same with save/draft/publish.
Autosave, on the other hand, populates these relationships, causing the
data to temporarily change in shape in between these events.
Here's an example:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/153ea112-7591-4f54-9216-575322f4edbe
Now, autosave runs with `depth: 0` as expected, consistent with the
other events of the document lifecycle.
**Plus this is a huge performance improvement.**

### What?
Adds a new `experimental.localizeStatus` config option, set to `false`
by default. When `true`, the admin panel will display the document
status based on the *current locale* instead of the _latest_ overall
status. Also updates the edit view to only show a `changed` status when
`autosave` is enabled.
### Why?
Showing the status for the current locale is more accurate and useful in
multi-locale setups. This update will become default behavior, able to
be opted in by setting `experimental.localizeStatus: true` in the
Payload config. This option will become depreciated in V4.
### How?
When `localizeStatus` is `true`, we store the localized status in a new
`localeStatus` field group within version data. The admin panel then
reads from this field to display the correct status for the current
locale.

### What?
Restores the ability to query by `Date(...)` when using the `sqlite`
adapter.
### Why?
Queries involving JavaScript `Date`s return incorrect results because
they are not converted to ISO 8601 strings by the `sqlite` adapter.

### What?
Hides the `Publish in [specific locale]` button on collections and
globals when no localized fields are present.
### Why?
Currently, the `Publish in [specific locale]` shows on every
collection/global as long as `localization` is enabled in the Payload

localized fields.
### How?
Checks that localized fields exist prior to rendering the `Publish in
[specific locale]` button.

Reindexing all collections in the search plugin was previously done in
sequence which is slow and risks timing out under certain network
conditions. By running these requests in parallel we are able to save
**on average ~80%** in compute time.
This test includes reindexing 2000 documents in total across 2
collections, 3 times over. The indexes themselves are relatively simple,
containing only a couple simple fields each, so the savings would only
increase with more complexity and/or more documents.

### What?
Fix `JSON` field so that it respects `admin.editorOptions` (e.g.
`tabSize`, `insertSpaces`, etc.), matching the behavior of the `code`
field. Also refactor `CodeEditor` to set indentation and whitespace
options per-model instead of globally.
### Why?
- Previously, the JSON field ignored `editorOptions` and always
serialized with spaces (`tabSize: 2`). This caused inconsistencies when
comparing JSON and code fields configured with the same options.
- Monaco’s global defaults were being overridden in a way that leaked
settings between editors, making per-field customization unreliable.
### How?
- Updated `JSON` field to extract `tabSize` from `editorOptions` and
pass it through consistently when serializing and mounting the editor.
- Refactored CodeEditor to:
- Disable `detectIndentation` globally.
- Apply `insertSpaces`, `tabSize`, and `trimAutoWhitespace` on a
per-model basis inside onMount.
- Preserve all other `editorOptions` as before.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/13563
When using the nested docs plugin with collections that do not have
drafts enabled. It was not syncing breadcrumbs from parent changes.
The root cause was returning early on any document that did not meet
`doc._status !== 'published'` check, which was **_always_** the case for
non-draft collections.

```ts
if (doc._status !== 'published') {
return
}
```
### After
```ts
if (collection.versions.drafts && doc._status !== 'published') {
return
}
```
Currently, attempting to run tasks in parallel will result in DB errors.
## Solution
The problem was caused due to inefficient db update calls. After each
task completes, we need to update the log array in the payload-jobs
collection. On postgres, that's a different table.
Currently, the update works the following way:
1. Nuke the table
2. Re-insert every single row, including the new one
This will throw db errors if multiple processes start doing that.
Additionally, due to conflicts, new log rows may be lost.
This PR makes use of the the [new db $push operation
](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/13453) we recently added to
atomically push a new log row to the database in a single round-trip.
This not only reduces the amount of db round trips (=> faster job queue
system) but allows multiple tasks to perform this db operation in
parallel, without conflicts.
## Problem
**Example:**
```ts
export const fastParallelTaskWorkflow: WorkflowConfig<'fastParallelTask'> = {
slug: 'fastParallelTask',
handler: async ({nlineTask }) => {
const taskFunctions = []
for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
const idx = i + 1
taskFunctions.push(async () => {
return await inlineTask(`parallel task ${idx}`, {
input: {
test: idx,
},
task: () => {
return {
output: {
taskID: idx.toString(),
},
}
},
})
})
}
await Promise.all(taskFunctions.map((f) => f()))
},
}
```
On SQLite, this would throw the following error:

This PR adds **atomic** `$push` **support for array fields**. It makes
it possible to safely append new items to arrays, which is especially
useful when running tasks in parallel (like job queues) where multiple
processes might update the same record at the same time. By handling
pushes atomically, we avoid race conditions and keep data consistent -
especially on postgres, where the current implementation would nuke the
entire array table before re-inserting every single array item.
The feature works for both localized and unlocalized arrays, and
supports pushing either single or multiple items at once.
This PR is a requirement for reliably running parallel tasks in the job
queue - see https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/13452.
Alongside documenting `$push`, this PR also adds documentation for
`$inc`.
## Changes to updatedAt behavior
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/13335 allows us to override
the updatedAt property instead of the db always setting it to the
current date.
However, we are not able to skip updating the updatedAt property
completely. This means, usage of $push results in 2 postgres db calls:
1. set updatedAt in main row
2. append array row in arrays table
This PR changes the behavior to only automatically set updatedAt if it's
undefined. If you explicitly set it to `null`, this now allows you to
skip the db adapter automatically setting updatedAt.
=> This allows us to use $push in just one single db call
## Usage Examples
### Pushing a single item to an array
```ts
const post = (await payload.db.updateOne({
data: {
array: {
$push: {
text: 'some text 2',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
},
},
collection: 'posts',
id: post.id,
}))
```
### Pushing a single item to a localized array
```ts
const post = (await payload.db.updateOne({
data: {
arrayLocalized: {
$push: {
en: {
text: 'some text 2',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
es: {
text: 'some text 2 es',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
},
},
},
collection: 'posts',
id: post.id,
}))
```
### Pushing multiple items to an array
```ts
const post = (await payload.db.updateOne({
data: {
array: {
$push: [
{
text: 'some text 2',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
{
text: 'some text 3',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
],
},
},
collection: 'posts',
id: post.id,
}))
```
### Pushing multiple items to a localized array
```ts
const post = (await payload.db.updateOne({
data: {
arrayLocalized: {
$push: {
en: {
text: 'some text 2',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
es: [
{
text: 'some text 2 es',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
{
text: 'some text 3 es',
id: new mongoose.Types.ObjectId().toHexString(),
},
],
},
},
},
collection: 'posts',
id: post.id,
}))
```

### What
When using the `Restore as draft` action from the version view, the
restored document incorrectly appears as `published` in the API. This
issue was reported by a client.
### Why
In the `restoreVersion` operation, the document is updated via
`db.updateOne` (line 265). The update passes along the status stored in
the version being restored but does not respect the `draft` query
parameter.
### How
Ensures that the result status is explicitly set to `draft` when the
`draft` argument is `true`.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/13433. Testing
release: `3.54.0-internal.90cf7d5`
Previously, when calling `getPayload`, you would always use the same,
cached payload instance within a single process, regardless of the
arguments passed to the `getPayload` function. This resulted in the
following issues - both are fixed by this PR:
- If, in your frontend you're calling `getPayload` without `cron: true`,
and you're hosting the Payload Admin Panel in the same process, crons
will not be enabled even if you visit the admin panel which calls
`getPayload` with `cron: true`. This will break jobs autorun depending
on which page you visit first - admin panel or frontend
- Within the same process, you are unable to use `getPayload` twice for
different instances of payload with different Payload Configs.
On postgres, you can get around this by manually calling new
`BasePayload()` which skips the cache. This did not work on mongoose
though, as mongoose was caching the models on a global singleton (this
PR addresses this).
In order to bust the cache for different Payload Config, this PR
introduces a new, optional `key` property to `getPayload`.
## Mongoose - disable using global singleton
This PR refactors the Payload Mongoose adapter to stop relying on the
global mongoose singleton. Instead, each adapter instance now creates
and manages its own scoped Connection object.
### Motivation
Previously, calling `getPayload()` more than once in the same process
would throw `Cannot overwrite model` errors because models were compiled
into the global singleton. This prevented running multiple Payload
instances side-by-side, even when pointing at different databases.
### Changes
- Replace usage of `mongoose.connect()` / `mongoose.model()` with
instance-scoped `createConnection()` and `connection.model()`.
- Ensure models, globals, and versions are compiled per connection, not
globally.
- Added proper `close()` handling on `this.connection` instead of
`mongoose.disconnect()`.

### What?
Brackets (`[ ]`) in option values end up in GraphQL enum names via
`formatName`, causing schema generation to fail. This PR adds a single
rule to `formatName`:
- replace `[` and `]` with `_`
### Why?
Using `_` (instead of removing the brackets) is safer and more
consistent:
- Avoid collisions: removal can merge distinct strings (`"A[B]"` →
`"AB"`). `_` keeps them distinct (`"A_B"`).
- **Consistency**: `formatName` already maps punctuation to `_` (`. - /
+ , ( ) '`). Brackets follow the same rule.
Readability: `mb-[150px]` → `mb__150px_` is clearer than `mb150px`.
Digits/units safety: removal can jam characters (`w-[2/3]` → `w23`); `_`
avoids that (`w_2_3_`).
### How?
Update formatName to include a bracket replacement step:
```
.replace(/\[|\]/g, '_')
```
No other call sites or value semantics change; only names containing
brackets are affected.

Fixes#13574.
When editing an autosave-enabled document within a document drawer, any
changes made will while the autosave is processing are ultimately
discarded from local form state. This makes is difficult or even
impossible to edit fields.
This is because we server-render, then replace, the entire document on
every save. This includes form state, which is stale because it was
rendered while new changes were still being made. We don't need to
re-render the entire view on every save, though, only on create. We
don't do this on the top-level edit view, for example. Instead, we only
need to replace form state.
This change is also a performance improvement because we are no longer
rendering all components unnecessarily, especially on every autosave
interval.

### What?
Ensure the Rich Text field is read-only when viewing a locked document.
### Why?
When opening a locked doc in read-only mode, the Rich Text field could
still appear editable. This is inconsistent with other fields and allows
users to try typing into a locked document.
### How?
- Pass `readOnly={isTrashedDoc || isLocked}` into `buildFormState` in
the edit view renderer.
### What?
Prevents the Auth component from rendering an empty `.auth-fields`
wrapper.
### Why?
When `disableLocalStrategy` is true and `enableFields` is false, but
`useAPIKey` is true while
read access to API key fields is denied, the component still rendered
the parent wrapper with a
background—showing a blank box.
### How?
Introduce `hasVisibleContent`:
- `showAuthBlock = enableFields`
- `showAPIKeyBlock = useAPIKey && canReadApiKey`
- `showVerifyBlock = verify && isEditing`
If none are true, return `null`. (`disableLocalStrategy` is already
accounted for via `enableFields`.)

Continuation of https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/13501.
When merging server form state with `acceptValues: true`, like on submit
(not autosave), rows are not deeply merged causing custom row
components, like row labels, to disappear. This is because we never
attach components to the form state response unless it has re-rendered
server-side, so unless we merge these rows with the current state, we
lose them.
Instead of allowing `acceptValues` to override all local changes to
rows, we need to flag any newly added rows with `addedByServer` so they
can bypass the merge strategy. Existing rows would continue to be merged
as expected, and new rows are simply appended to the end.

Previously, when manually setting `createdAt` or `updatedAt` in a
`payload.db.*` or `payload.*` operation, the value may have been
ignored. In some cases it was _impossible_ to change the `updatedAt`
value, even when using direct db adapter calls. On top of that, this
behavior sometimes differed between db adapters. For example, mongodb
did accept `updatedAt` when calling `payload.db.updateVersion` -
postgres ignored it.
This PR changes this behavior to consistently respect `createdAt` and
`updatedAt` values for `payload.db.*` operations.
For `payload.*` operations, this also works with the following
exception:
- update operations do no respect `updatedAt`, as updates are commonly
performed by spreading the old data, e.g. `payload.update({ data:
{...oldData} })` - in these cases, we usually still want the `updatedAt`
to be updated. If you need to get around this, you can use the
`payload.db.updateOne` operation instead.

### What?
Make the document `id` available to server-rendered admin components
that expect it—specifically `EditMenuItems` and
`BeforeDocumentControls`—so `props.id` matches the official docs.
### Why?
The docs show examples using `props.id`, but the runtime `serverProps`
and TS types didn’t include it. This led to `undefined` at render time.
### How?
- Add id to ServerProps and set it in renderDocumentSlots from
req.routeParams.id.

No need to re-fetch doc permissions during autosave. This will save us
from making two additional client-side requests on every autosave
interval, on top of the two existing requests needed to autosave and
refresh form state.
This _does_ mean that the UI will not fully reflect permissions again
until you fully save, or until you navigating back, but that has always
been the behavior anyway (until #13416). Maybe we can find another
solution for this in the future, or otherwise consider this to be
expected behavior.

If you have a beforeChange hook that manipulates arrays or blocks by
_adding rows_, the result of that hook will not be reflected in the UI
after save or autosave as you might expect.
For example, this hook that ensures at least one array row is populated:
```ts
{
type: 'array',
hooks: {
beforeChange: [
({ value }) =>
!value?.length
? [
// this is an added/computed row if attempt to save with no rows
]
: value,
],
},
// ...
}
```
When you save without any rows, this hook will have automatically
computed a row for you and saved it to the database. Form state will not
reflect this fact, however, until you refresh or navigate back.
This is for two reasons:
1. When merging server form state, we receive the new fields, but do not
receive the new rows. This is because the `acceptValues` flag only
applies to the `value` property of fields, but should also apply to the
`rows` property on `array` and `blocks` fields too.
2. When creating new form state on the server, the newly added rows are
not being flagged with `addedByServer`, and so never make it into form
state when it is merged in on the client. To do this we need to send the
previous form state to the server and set `renderAllFields` to false in
order receive this property as expected. Fixed by #13524.

### What?
The PR #12763 added significant improvements for third-party databases
that are compatible with the MongoDB API. While the original PR was
focused on Firestore, other databases like DocumentDB also benefit from
these compatibility features.
In particular, the aggregate JOIN strategy does not work on AWS
DocumentDB and thus needs to be disabled. The current PR aims to provide
this as a sensible default in the `compatibilityOptions` that are
provided by Payload out-of-the-box.
As a bonus, it also fixes a small typo from `compat(a)bility` to
`compat(i)bility`.
### Why?
Because our Payload instance, which is backed by AWS DocumentDB, crashes
upon trying to access any `join` field.
### How?
By adding the existing `useJoinAggregations` with value `false` to the
compatiblity layer. Individual developers can still choose to override
it in their own local config as needed.

That PR fixed it for the `admin` suite, but I had also encountered the
same issue in `live-preview`.
When searching for instances, I found others with the same pattern
within packages, which I took the opportunity to fix in case the same
error occurs in the future.
Adds various helpers to make it easier and more standard to manage array
fields within e2e tests. Retrofits existing tests to ensure consistent
interactions across the board, and also organizes existing blocks and
relationship field helpers in the same way.

### What?
Update `SelectFieldBaseClientProps` type so `value` accepts `string[]`
for `hasMany` selects
### Why?
Multi-selects currently error with “Type 'string[]' is not assignable to
type 'string'”.
### How?
- Change `value?: string` to `value?: string | string[]`
- Also adds additional multi select custom component to `admin` test
suite for testing

### What?
This PR makes `filterFields` recurse into **fields with subfields**
(e.g., tabs, row, group, collapsible, array) so nested fields with
`admin.disableListColumn: true` (or hidden/disabled fields) are properly
excluded.
### Why?
Nested fields with `admin.disableListColumn: true` were still appearing
in the list view.
Example: a text field inside a `row` or `group` continued to show as a
column despite being marked `disableListColumn`.
### How?
- Call `filterFields` recursively for `tab.fields` and for any field
exposing a `fields` array.
Fixes#13496
### What?
This PR applies `mergeFieldStyles` to the `BlocksField` component,
ensuring that custom admin styles such as `width` are correctly
respected when Blocks fields are placed inside row layouts.
### Why?
Previously, Blocks fields did not inherit or apply their `admin.width`
(or other merged field styles). For example, when placing two Blocks
fields side by side inside a row with `width: '50%'`, the widths were
ignored, causing layout issues.
### How?
- Imported and used `mergeFieldStyles` within `BlocksField`.
- Applied the merged styles to the root `<div>` via the `style` prop,
consistent with how other field components (like `TextField`) handle
styles.
Fixes#13498
### What?
When exporting, if no `sort` parameter is set but a `groupBy` parameter
is present in the list-view query, the export will treat `groupBy` as
the SortBy field and default to ascending order.
Additionally, the SortOrder field in the export UI is now hidden when no
sort is present, reducing visual noise and preventing irrelevant order
selection.
### Why?
Previously, exports ignored `groupBy` entirely when no sort was set,
leading to unsorted output even if the list view was grouped. Also,
SortOrder was always shown, even when no sort field was selected, which
could be confusing. These changes ensure exports reflect the list view’s
grouping and keep the UI focused.
### How?
- Check for `groupBy` in the query only when `sort` is unset.
- If found, set SortBy to `groupBy` and SortOrder to ascending.
- Hide the SortOrder field when `sort` is not set.
- Leave sorting unset if neither `sort` nor `groupBy` are present.
Currently, if you don't have delete access to the document, the UI
doesn't allow you to replace the file, which isn't expected. This is
also a UI only restriction, and the API allows you do this fine.
This PR makes so the "remove file" button renders even if you don't have
delete access, while still ensures you have update access.

### What?
This PR adds a dedicated `sortOrder` select field (Ascending /
Descending) to the import-export plugin, alongside updates to the
existing `SortBy` component. The new field and component logic keep the
sort field (`sort`) in sync with the selected sort direction.
### Why?
Previously, descending sorting did not work. While the `SortBy` field
could read the list view’s `query.sort` param, if the value contained a
leading dash (e.g. `-title`), it would not be handled correctly. Only
ascending sorts such as `sort=title` worked, and the preview table would
not reflect a descending order.
### How?
- Added a new `sortOrder` select field to the export options schema.
- Implemented a `SortOrder` custom component using ReactSelect:
- On new exports, reads `query.sort` from the list view and sets both
`sortOrder` and `sort` (combined value with or without a leading dash).
- Handles external changes to `sort` that include a leading dash.
- Updated `SortBy`:
- No longer writes to `sort` during initial hydration—`SortOrder` owns
initial value setting.
- On user field changes, writes the combined value using the current
`sortOrder`.
### What:
This PR adds `limit` and `page` fields to the export options, allowing
users to control the number of documents exported and the page from
which to start the export. It also enforces that limit must be a
positive multiple of 100.
### Why:
This feature is needed to provide pagination support for large exports,
enabling users to export manageable chunks of data rather than the
entire dataset at once. Enforcing multiples-of-100 for `limit` ensures
consistent chunking behavior and prevents unexpected export issues.
### How:
- The `limit` field determines the maximum number of documents to export
and **must be a positive multiple of 100**.
- The `page` field defines the starting page of the export and is
displayed only when a `limit` is specified.
- If `limit` is cleared, the `page` resets to 1 to maintain consistency.
- Export logic was adjusted to respect the `limit` and `page` values
when fetching documents.
