This PR consists of two separate changes. One change cannot pass CI
without the other, so both are included in this single PR.
## CI - ensure types are generated
Our website template is currently failing to build due to a type error.
This error was introduced by a change in our generated types.
Our CI did not catch this issue because it wasn't generating types /
import map before attempting to build the templates. This PR updates the
CI to generate types first.
It also updates some CI step names for improved clarity.
## Fix: type error

This fixes the type error by ensuring we consistently use the _same_
generated `TypedUser` object within payload, instead of `BaseUser`.
Previously, we sometimes used the generated-types user and sometimes the
base user, which was causing type conflicts depending on what the
generated user type was.
It also deprecates the `User` type (which was essentially just
`BaseUser`), as consumers should use `TypedUser` instead. `TypedUser`
will automatically fall back to `BaseUser` if no generated types exists,
but will accept passing it a generated-types User.
Without this change, additional properties added to the user via
generated-types may cause the user object to not be accepted by
functions that only accept a `User` instead of a `TypedUser`, which is
what failed here.
## Templates: re-generate templates to update generated types

Fixes#12826
Leave without saving was being triggered when no changes were made to
the tenant. This should only happen if the value in form state differs
from that of the selected tenant, i.e. after changing tenants.
Adds tenant selector syncing so the selector updates when a tenant is
added or the name is edited.
Also adds E2E for most multi-tenant admin functionality.

### What?
This PR addresses an issue where the order of operations/conditions for
throwing an unverified email error were incorrect.
### Why?
To properly throw an unverified email error under the correct
conditions.
### How?
Pushing this error to be thrown later in the operation.
Mounts live preview to `../:id` instead `../:id/preview`.
This is a huge win for both UX and a maintainability standpoint.
Here are just a few of those wins:
1. If you edit a document, _then_ decide you want to preview those
changes, you are currently presented with the `LeaveWithoutSaving` modal
and are forced to either save your edits or clear them. This is because
you are being navigated to an entirely new page with it's own form
context. Instead, you should be able to freely navigate back and forth
between the two.
2. If you are an editor who most often uses Live Preview, or you are
editing a collection that typically requires it, you likely want it to
automatically enter live preview mode when you open a document.
Currently, the user has to navigate to the document _first_, then use
the live preview tab. Instead, you should be able to set a preference
and avoid this extra step.
3. Since the inception of Live Preview, we've been maintaining largely
the same code across the default edit view and the live preview view,
which often became out of sync and inconsistent—but they're essentially
doing the same thing. While we could abstract a lot of this out, it is
no longer necessary if the two views are combined into one.
This change does also include some small modifications to UI. The "Live
Preview" tab no longer exists, and instead has been replaced with a
button placed next to the document controls (subject to change).

### What?
Adds optional chaining when accessing `rows` in `mergeServerFormState`
to prevent error crashing the UI.
### Why?
When an array field is populated in a `beforeChange` hook and was
previously empty, it crashes `mergeServerFormState.ts` on this line
because no `rows` exist:
```ts
const indexInCurrentState = currentState[path].rows.findIndex
```
The line after this checks `if (indexInCurrentState > -1)` so returning
undefined here will not affect the subsequent code.
### How?
Added optional chaining to the access of `rows`, which prevents the
error being thrown.
Fixes#12944
Adds full session functionality into Payload's existing local
authentication strategy.
It's enabled by default, because this is a more secure pattern that we
should enforce. However, we have provided an opt-out pattern for those
that want to stick to stateless JWT authentication by passing
`collectionConfig.auth.useSessions: false`.
Todo:
- [x] @jessrynkar to update the Next.js server functions for refresh and
logout to support these new features

Needed for #12860.
The new live preview pattern requires collection-level preferences, a
pattern that does not yet exist.
Instead of creating a new record for these types of preferences, we can
simply reuse `<collectionSlug>-list` under a more general key:
`collection-<slug>`. This way other relevant properties can be attached
in the future that might not specifically apply to the list view.
This will also match the conventions already estalished by
document-level preferences in `collection-<slug>-<id>` and
`global-<slug>`.

This pull request updates the `Card` component in the localization
example to support localized URLs. The most significant changes include
importing a new hook for locale management and modifying the URL
generation logic to include the locale.
Localization updates:
*
[`examples/localization/src/components/Card/index.tsx`](diffhunk://#diff-619212c47638e7ff51284c62740ba188c87f008d481442b7f4951e2c150a2415R5):
Imported `useLocale` from `next-intl` to manage locale-based
functionality.
*
[`examples/localization/src/components/Card/index.tsx`](diffhunk://#diff-619212c47638e7ff51284c62740ba188c87f008d481442b7f4951e2c150a2415R20):
Added a `locale` constant using the `useLocale` hook to retrieve the
current locale.
*
[`examples/localization/src/components/Card/index.tsx`](diffhunk://#diff-619212c47638e7ff51284c62740ba188c87f008d481442b7f4951e2c150a2415L28-R30):
Updated the `href` generation logic to include the locale in the URL
structure, ensuring localized navigation.
When using 3rd party custom components in an edit form there exists a
possibility that a non-navigational click event will propagate through
to payload.
In this case the `findClosestAnchor` function in `usePreventLeave` may
find an anchor without href, resulting in the `newUrlObj = new
URL(newUrl)` in `isAnchorOfCurrentUrl` throwing the exception:
> TypeError: URL constructor: is not a valid URL.
As a result a native alert is shown to the user, with no real
explanation as to what is going on. This is not a good experience.
I suggest moving it to a console log which is less "in your face" for
users who do not know what to do about it anyway.
I discovered this while using a data grid component with a context menu.
Clicking on menu items (which are `<a>` tags without href in this
component) triggers the error.
(Another on-liner fix would ofc be to not attempt to create an URL
object if there is no href `if (anchor?.href) {`, but I opted for this
version since using `alert()` in production code is not a preferred
practice anyway)

This fixes a small ui bug where the items in the table header were not
vertically aligned when they don't contain the SortColumn component. The
SortColumn component handles vertical alignment with a nested flexbox.
The PR adds vertical-align: middle directly to the th element so that
the text in the header is vertically aligned even when there isn't a
nested flexbox

### What?
Updates the tenant selector displayed in the sidebar when a new tenant
is created.
### Why?
Currently when using the multi-tenant plugin and creating a new tenant
doc, the tenant selector dropdown does not display the new tenant as an
option until the page gets refreshed.
### How?
Extends the `WatchTenantCollection` helper to check if the tenant `id`
from the current doc exists, if the tenant is new it manually calls
`updateTenants`. The `updateTenants` function previously only adjusted
the title on existing tenants, this has been updated to add a new tenant
as an option when it doesn't exist.

## What / Why
Date & Time fields were rendering their field label as a `<span>` while
every other field type uses a proper `<label>` with a matching
`htmlFor`.
Because the element was a span it broke styles and made 'field-label'
have different styles from the rest of 'field-label's.
**Root cause:** DateTimeField failed to pass its `path` (or an explicit
`htmlFor`) to `FieldLabel`. When `FieldLabel` receives no `htmlFor`, it
intentionally downgrades to a `<span>`.
## Screenshots
### Before

*DateTime label rendered as `<span>`, causing style inconsistencies*
### After

*DateTime label now rendered as proper `<label>` element*
## Changes introduced
- `packages/ui/src/fields/DateTime/index.tsx`
- Added `path={path}` prop to `FieldLabel` component
## Behavior after the fix
- Date-time labels are now real `<label>` elements with `for="field-…"`
- Visual alignment now matches every other field type
## How to test manually
1. Run `pnpm dev fields`
2. Inspect the DateTime field markup – label is now `<label>`
3. Observe that vertical spacing matches other types of fields
If you (using the MongoDB adapter) delete a block from the payload
config, but still have some data with that block in the DB, you'd
receive in the admin panel an error like:
```
Block with type "cta" was found in block data, but no block with that type is defined in the config for field with schema path pages.blocks
```
Now, we remove those "unknown" blocks at the DB adapter level.

### What
This PR updates the import-export plugin's `<Preview />` component to
render table columns and rows using the same logic as the CSV export.
Key changes:
- Adds a new `/api/preview-data` custom REST endpoint that:
- Accepts filters (`fields`, `where`, `sort`, `draft`, `limit`)
- Uses `getCustomFieldFunctions` and `flattenObject` to transform
documents
- Returns deeply flattened rows identical to the CSV export
- Refactors the <Preview /> component to:
- POST preview config to the new endpoint instead of querying the
collection directly
- Match column ordering and flattening logic with the `createExport`
function
- Ensures consistency across CSV downloads and in-admin previews
-Adds JSON preview
This ensures preview results now exactly match exported CSV content,
including support for custom field transformers and polymorphic fields.

### What?
This PR solves an issue with validation of the `point` field in Payload
CMS. If the value is `null` and the field is not required, the
validation will return `true` before trying to examine the contents of
the field
### Why?
If the point field is given a value, and saved, it is then impossible to
successfully "unset" the point field, either through the CMS UI or
through a hook like `beforeChange`. Trying to do so will throw this
error:
```
[17:09:41] ERROR: Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')
err: {
"type": "TypeError",
"message": "Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')",
"stack":
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')

```
because a value of `null` will not be changed to the default value of
`['','']`, which in any case does not pass MongoDB validation either.
```
[17:22:49] ERROR: Cast to [Number] failed for value "[ NaN, NaN ]" (type string) at path "location.coordinates.0" because of "CastError"
err: {
"type": "CastError",

```
### How?
This adds a check to the top of the `point` validation function and
returns early before trying to examine the contents of the point field

https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12861 introduced some flaky
test selectors. Specifically bulk editing values and then looking for
the previous values in the table rows.
This PR fixes the flakes and fixes eslint errors in `findTableRow` and
`findTableCell` helper funcitons.
### What?
Set the `limit` query param on API requests called within the
`useLivePreview` hook.
### Why?
We are heavily relying on the block system in our pages and we reuse the
media collection in a lot of the block types. When the page has more
than 10 images, the API request doesn't fetch all of them for live
preview due to the default 10 item `limit`. This PR allows the preview
page to override this `limit` so that all the items get correctly
fetched.
### Our current workaround
Set the `depth` param of `useLivePreview` hook like this:
```
useLivePreview({
// ...
depth: '1000&limit=1000',
})
```

Needed for #12860.
If the admin panel broadcasts foreign postMessage events, i.e. those
without the `payload-live-preview` signature, client-side live preview
subscriptions will reset back to initial state.
This is because we dispatch two postMessage events in the admin panel,
one for client-side live preview to catch (`payload-live-preview`), and
the other for server-side live preview (`payload-document-event`). This
was not previously noticeable because both events would only get called
simultaneously on initial render, where initial state is already the
expected result.
Now that Live Preview can be freely toggled on and off, both events are
frequently dispatched and very obviously disregard the current working
state.

Needed for #12860.
The client config unnecessarily omits the `livePreview.collections` and
`livePreview.globals` properties. This is because the root live preview
config extends the type with these two additional properties without
sharing it elsewhere. To led to the client sanitization function
overlooking these additional properties, as there was no type indication
that they exist.
The `collections` and `globals` properties are now appended to the
client config as expected, and the root live preview is standardized
behind the `RootLivePreviewConfig` type to ensure no properties are
lost.

This PR adds int tests with vitest and e2e tests with playwright
directly into our templates.
The following are also updated:
- bumps core turbo to 2.5.4 in monorepo
- blank and website templates moved up to be part of the monorepo
workspace
- this means we now have thes templates filtered out in pnpm commands in
package.json
- they will now by default use workspace packages which we can use for
manual testing and int and e2e tests
- note that turbo doesnt work with these for dev in monorepo context
- CPA script will fetch latest version and then replace `workspace:*` or
the pinned version in the package.json before installation
- blank template no longer uses _template as a base, this is to simplify
management for workspace
- updated the generate template variations script
Partially closes#12121.
When you edit a document in Live Preview using the default iframe
window, then attempt to open the window as a popup, the
`LeaveWithoutSaving` modal will appear.
This is because the `usePreventLeave` hook watches for anchor tags that
might cause a page navigation, and rightfully warns the user before they
navigate away and lose their changes. The reason the popup button
triggers this hook is because it uses an anchor tag with an href for
accessibility, which fires events that are caught and processed by the
hook.
The fix is to add the `target="_blank"` attribute here so that the hook
understands that these events do not navigate the user away from the
page and can be ignored.

This PR fixes an issue in the export logic where CSV downloads would
include duplicate rows and repeated column headers across paginated
batches.
Key changes:
- Ensured `page` is incremented correctly after each `payload.find` call
- Tracked and wrote CSV column headers only once for the first page
- Prevented row duplication by removing unused `result` initialization
and using isolated `page` tracking
- Streamlined both download and non-download logic for consistent batch
processing
This resolves incorrect row counts and header duplication in large CSV
exports.
We were running scripts as they were without encompassing our logic in a
function for jest's teardown and we were subsequently running
`process.exit(0)` which meant that tests didn't correctly return an
error status code when they failed in CI.
The following tests have been skipped as well:
```
● postgres vector custom column › should add a vector column and query it
● Sort › Local API › Orderable › should not break with existing base 62 digits
● Sort › Local API › Orderable join › should set order by default
● Sort › Local API › Orderable join › should allow setting the order with the local API
● Sort › Local API › Orderable join › should sort join docs in the correct
```

### What?
Fixes a crash when exporting documents to CSV if a custom `toCSV`
function tries to access properties on a `null` value.
### Why?
In some cases (especially with Postgres), fields like relationships may
be explicitly `null` if unset. Custom `toCSV` functions that assume the
value is always defined would throw a `TypeError` when attempting to
access nested properties like `value.id`.
### How?
Added a null check in the custom `toCSV` implementation for
`customRelationship`, ensuring the field is an object before accessing
its properties.
This prevents the export from failing and makes custom field transforms
more resilient to missing or optional values.
### What?
Fixes CSV export support for polymorphic relationship and upload fields.
### Why?
Polymorphic fields in Payload use a `{ relationTo, value }` structure.
The previous implementation incorrectly accessed `.id` directly on the
top-level object, which caused issues depending on query depth or data
shape. This led to missing or invalid values in exported CSVs.
### How?
- Updated getCustomFieldFunctions to safely access relationTo and
value.id from polymorphic fields
- Ensured `hasMany` polymorphic fields export each related ID and
relationTo as separate CSV columns
### What?
Reflects any access control restrictions applied to Auth fields in the
UI. I.e. if `email` has `update: () => false` the field should be
displayed as read-only.
### Why?
Currently any access control that is applied to auth fields is
functional but is not matched within the UI.
For example:
- `password` that does not have read access will not return data, but
the field will still be shown when it should be hidden
- `email` that does not have update access, updating the field and
saving the doc will **not** update the data, but it should be displayed
as read-only so nothing can be filled out and the updating restriction
is made clear
### How?
Passes field permissions through to the Auth fields UI and adds docs
with instructions on how to override auth field access.
#### Testing
Use `access-control` test suite and `auth` collection. Tests added to
`access-control` e2e.
Fixes#11569
### What?
This fix prevents custom row labels being removed when duplicating array
items.
### Why?
Currently, when you have an array with custom row labels, if you create
a new array item by duplicating an existing item, the new item will have
no custom row label until you refresh the page.
### How?
During the `duplicate` process, we remove any react components from the
field state. This change intentionally re-adds the `RowLabel` if one
exists.
#### Reported by client
### What?
Ensure fields using a custom `toCSV` function that return `undefined`
are excluded from the exported CSV.
### Why?
Previously, when a `toCSV` function returned `undefined`, the field key
would still be added to the export row. This caused the column to appear
in the CSV output with an empty string value (`""`), leading to
unexpected results and failed assertions in tests expecting the field to
be truly omitted.
### How?
Updated the `flattenObject` utility to:
- Check if the value returned by a `toCSV` function is `undefined`
- Only assign the value to the export row if it is explicitly defined
- Applied this logic in all relevant paths (arrays, objects, primitives)
This change ensures that fields are only included in the CSV when a
meaningful value is returned.
Because of this check, if a JSON with a property `target` was saved it
would become malformed.
For example trying to save a JSON field:
```json
{
"target": {
"value": {
"foo": "bar"
}
}
}
```
would result in:
```json
{
"foo": "bar"
}
```
And trying to save:
```json
{
"target": "foo"
}
```
would just not save anything:
```json
null
```
I went through all of the field types and did not find a single one that
would rely on this ternary. Seems like it always defaulted to `const val
= e`, except the unexpected case described previously.
Fixes#12873
Added test may be overkill, will remove if so.
