### What?
Hi Payload Team, this PR is a reply to @DanRibbens's request to document
#11478. Let me know if you'd like to see any changes - thank you!
This is teeny tiny – the sentence "Out of the box Payload ships with a
three powerful Authentication strategies:" has an unnecessary "a" on the
Authentication overview page. This PR removes it.
Continuation of https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/6245.
This PR allows you to pass `blocksAsJSON: true` to SQL adapters and the
adapter instead of aligning with the SQL preferred relation approach for
blocks will just use a simple JSON column, which can improve performance
with a large amount of blocks.
To try these changes you can install `3.43.0-internal.c5bbc84`.
### What?
Adds `constructorOptions` property to the upload config to allow any of
[these options](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/api-constructor/) to be
passed to the Sharp library.
### Why?
Users should be able to extend the Sharp library config as needed, to
define useful properties like `limitInputPixels` etc.
### How?
Creates new config option `constructorOptions` which passes any
compatible options directly to the Sharp library.
#### Reported by client.
By default, calling `payload.jobs.run()` will incorrectly run all jobs
from all queues. The `npx payload jobs:run` bin script behaves the same
way.
The `payload-jobs/run` endpoint runs jobs from the `default` queue,
which is the correct behavior.
This PR does the following:
- Change `payload.jobs.run()` to only runs jobs from the `default` queue
by default
- Change `npx payload jobs:run` bin script to only runs jobs from the
`default` queue by default
- Add new allQueues / --all-queues arguments/queryparams/flags for the
local API, rest API and bin script to allow you to run all jobs from all
queues
- Clarify the docs
Introduces the ability to customize the order of both default and custom
tabs. This way you can make custom tabs appear before default ones, or
change the order of tabs as you see fit.
To do this, use the new `tab.order` property in your edit view's config:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const MyCollectionConfig: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
edit: {
myCustomView: {
path: '/my-custom-view',
Component: '/path/to/component',
tab: {
href: '/my-custom-view',
order: 100, // This will put this tab in the first position
},
}
}
}
}
}
}
```

Customizing the `path` property on default document views is currently
not supported, but the types suggest that it is. You can only provide a
path to custom views. This PR ensures that `path` cannot be set on
default views as expected.
For example:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
export const MyCollectionConfig: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
edit: {
default: {
path: '/' // THIS IS NOT ALLOWED!
},
myCustomView: {
path: '/edit', // THIS IS ALLOWED!
Component: '/collections/CustomViews3/MyEditView.js#MyEditView',
},
},
},
},
},
}
```
For background context, this was deeply explored in #12701. This is not
planned, however, due to [performance and maintainability
concerns](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12701#issuecomment-2963926925),
plus [there are alternatives to achieve
this](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12772).
This PR also fixes and improves various jsdocs, and fixes a typo found
in the docs.
### What
This PR updates the `afterChange` hook for collections and globals to
include the `data` argument.
While the `doc` argument provides the saved version of the document,
having access to the original `data` allows for additional context—such
as detecting omitted fields, raw client input, or conditional logic
based on user-supplied data.
### Changes
- Adds the `data` argument to the `afterChange` hook args.
- Applies to both `collection` and `global` hooks.
### Example
```
afterChange: [
({ context, data, doc, operation, previousDoc, req }) => {
if (data?.customFlag) {
// Perform logic based on raw input
}
},
],
```
Adds support for read replicas
https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/read-replicas that can be used to offload
read-heavy traffic.
To use (both `db-postgres` and `db-vercel-postgres` are supported):
```ts
import { postgresAdapter } from '@payloadcms/db-postgres'
database: postgresAdapter({
pool: {
connectionString: process.env.POSTGRES_URL,
},
readReplicas: [process.env.POSTGRES_REPLICA_URL],
})
```

Previously, if you enabled presigned URL downloads for a collection, all
the files would use them. However, it might be possible that you want to
use presigned URLs only for specific files (like videos), this PR allows
you to pass `shouldUseSignedURL` to control that behavior dynamically.
```ts
s3Storage({
collections: {
media: {
signedDownloads: {
shouldUseSignedURL: ({ collection, filename, req }) => {
return req.headers.get('X-Disable-Signed-URL') !== 'false'
},
},
},
},
})
```
This makes it possible to add custom logic into how we map the document
data into the CSV data on a field-by-field basis.
- Allow custom data transformation to be added to
`custom.['plugin-import-export'].toCSV inside the field config
- Add type declaration to FieldCustom to improve types
- Export with `depth: 1`
Example:
```ts
{
name: 'customRelationship',
type: 'relationship',
relationTo: 'users',
custom: {
'plugin-import-export': {
toCSV: ({ value, columnName, row, siblingDoc, doc }) => {
row[`${columnName}_id`] = value.id
row[`${columnName}_email`] = value.email
},
},
},
},
```
### What?
Add a warning to the form builder plugin docs about potential GraphQL
type name collisions with custom Blocks or Collections.
### Why?
To help users avoid schema errors caused by conflicting type names and
guide them with resolution options.
### What?
Adds documentation to demonstrate how to make the internal
`payload-jobs` collection visible in the Admin Panel using the
`jobsCollectionOverrides` option.
### Why?
By default, the jobs collection is hidden from the UI. However, for
debugging or monitoring purposes—especially during development—some
teams may want direct access to view and inspect job entries.
### How?
A code snippet is added under the **"Jobs Queue > Overview"** page
showing how to override the collection config to set `admin.hidden =
false`.
---
**Before:**
No mention of how to expose the `payload-jobs` collection in the
documentation.
**After:**
Clear section and code example on how to enable visibility for the jobs
collection.

This clarifies that jobs.autoRun only *runs* already-queued jobs. It does not queue the jobs for you.
Also adds an e2e test as this functionality had no e2e coverage
The module `@payloadcms/plugin-nested-docs/fields` does not seem to
exist (anymore). Instead `createParentField` and
`createBreadcrumbsField` are exported by
`@payloadcms/plugin-nested-docs`
There are various open issues relating to the beforeChange hook as well
as statements from payload team about its behaviour that conflict with
the docs - this brings the docs in line with the expected behaviour of
the hook
Current expected behaviour:
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9714#issuecomment-2710872473
beforeChange open issues:
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12065https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11169https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9714
We should probably acknowledge, as part of this documentation change for
discussion, that while this update reflects the current behavior, it
raises questions about the efficacy of the hook and whether this is
truly the desired behavior.
I suspect users want the behaviour as documented today, not the modified
version, but have not realised the true implementation detail through
error or external abuse yet. It is hard to detect problems that arise
from this when using the admin UI as it obscures them with the
validation errors while not making it obvious that the hook still ran.
I would suggest that having the data passed into this hook as strongly
typed instead of Partial<collection> does not aid developers in
understanding how this hook works.
The short version: **I think there is a requirement for a hook that runs
before the database write but with valid data, and i think people
believe this is that hook.**
The original documentation was unnecessarily complex - you don't need to
import the original interface and extend from it in order to add
additional properties to it via module augmentation.
Adds configurations for browse-by-folder document results. This PR
**does NOT** allow for filtering out folders on a per collection basis.
That will be addressed in a future PR 👍
### Disable browse-by-folder all together
```ts
type RootFoldersConfiguration = {
/**
* If true, the browse by folder view will be enabled
*
* @default true
*/
browseByFolder?: boolean
// ...rest of type
}
```
### Remove document types from appearing in the browse by folder view
```ts
type CollectionFoldersConfiguration =
| boolean
| {
/**
* If true, the collection documents will be included in the browse by folder view
*
* @default true
*/
browseByFolder?: boolean
}
```
### Misc
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12631 where adding
folders.collectionOverrides was being set on the client config - it
should be omitted.
Fixes an issue where `baseListFilters` were not being respected.
Closes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/12355
TabbedUI doesn't always work as intended and it can be affected by
existing fields or the order of other plugins, this mentions that and
links to the recommended direct use of fields example.
## What
Adds a new custom component called `editMenuItems` that can be used in
the document view.
This options allows users to inject their own custom components into the
dropdown menu found in the document controls (the 3 dot menu), the
provided component(s) will be added below the default existing actions
(Create New, Duplicate, Delete and so on).
## Why
To increase flexibility and customization for users who wish to add
functionality to this menu. This provides a clean and consistent way to
add additional actions without needing to override or duplicate existing
UI logic.
## How
- Introduced the `editMenuItems` slot in the document controls dropdown
(three-dot menu) - in edit and preview tabs.
- Added documentation and tests to cover this new custom component
#### Testing
Use the `admin` test suite and go to the `edit menu items` collection
### What?
Fixes `resetColumnsState` in `useTableColumns` react hook.
### Why?
`resetColumnsState` threw errors when being executed, e.g. `Uncaught (in
promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading
'findIndex')`
### How?
Removes unnecessary parsing of URL query parameters in
`setActiveColumns` when resetting columns.

Fixes#6871
To review this PR, use `pnpm dev lexical` and the auto-created document
in the `lexical fields` collection. Select any input within the blocks
and press `cmd+a`. The selection should contain the entire input.
I made sure that `cmd+a` still works fine inside the editor but outside
of inputs.
Technically you could already set `label: undefined` and it would be
supported by group fields but the types didn't reflect this.
So now you can create an unnamed group field like this:
```ts
{
type: 'group',
fields: [
{
type: 'text',
name: 'insideGroupWithNoLabel',
},
],
},
```
This will remove the label while still visually grouping the fields.

Exposes a new argument to authentication strategies which allows the
author to determine if this auth strategy has the capability of setting
response headers or not.
This is useful because some auth strategies may want to set headers, but
in Next.js server components (AKA the admin panel), it's not possible to
set headers. It is, however, possible to set headers within API
responses and similar contexts.
So, an author might decide to only run operations that require setting
headers (i.e. refreshing an access token) if the auth strategy is being
executed in contexts where setting headers is possible.

You can now specify exactly who can change the constraints within a
query preset.
For example, you want to ensure that only "admins" are allowed to set a
preset to "everyone".
To do this, you can use the new `queryPresets.filterConstraints`
property. When a user lacks the permission to change a constraint, the
option will either be hidden from them or disabled if it is already set.
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
const config = buildConfig({
// ...
queryPresets: {
// ...
filterConstraints: ({ req, options }) =>
!req.user?.roles?.includes('admin')
? options.filter(
(option) =>
(typeof option === 'string' ? option : option.value) !==
'everyone',
)
: options,
},
})
```
The `filterConstraints` functions takes the same arguments as
`reduceOptions` property on select fields introduced in #12487.
It is a common pattern to dynamically show and validate a select field's
options based on various criteria such as the current user or underlying
document.
Some examples of this might include:
- Restricting options based on a user's role, e.g. admin-only options
- Displaying different options based on the value of another field, e.g.
a city/state selector
While this is already possible to do with a custom `validate` function,
the user can still view and select the forbidden option...unless you
_also_ wired up a custom component.
Now, you can define `filterOptions` on select fields.
This behaves similarly to the existing `filterOptions` property on
relationship and upload fields, except the return value of this function
is simply an array of options, not a query constraint. The result of
this function will determine what is shown to the user and what is
validated on the server.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
name: 'select',
type: 'select',
options: [
{
label: 'One',
value: 'one',
},
{
label: 'Two',
value: 'two',
},
{
label: 'Three',
value: 'three',
},
],
filterOptions: ({ options, data }) =>
data.disallowOption1
? options.filter(
(option) => (typeof option === 'string' ? options : option.value) !== 'one',
)
: options,
}
```
Originally this PR was going to introduce a `TextColorFeature`, but it
ended up becoming a more general-purpose `TextStateFeature`.
## Example of use:
```ts
import { defaultColors, TextStateFeature } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
TextStateFeature({
// prettier-ignore
state: {
color: {
...defaultColors,
// fancy gradients!
galaxy: { label: 'Galaxy', css: { background: 'linear-gradient(to right, #0000ff, #ff0000)', color: 'white' } },
sunset: { label: 'Sunset', css: { background: 'linear-gradient(to top, #ff5f6d, #6a3093)' } },
},
// You can have both colored and underlined text at the same time.
// If you don't want that, you should group them within the same key.
// (just like I did with defaultColors and my fancy gradients)
underline: {
'solid': { label: 'Solid', css: { 'text-decoration': 'underline', 'text-underline-offset': '4px' } },
// You'll probably want to use the CSS light-dark() utility.
'yellow-dashed': { label: 'Yellow Dashed', css: { 'text-decoration': 'underline dashed', 'text-decoration-color': 'light-dark(#EAB308,yellow)', 'text-underline-offset': '4px' } },
},
},
}),
```
Which will result in the following:
## Challenges & Considerations
Adding colors or styles in general to the Lexical editor is not as
simple as it seems.
1. **Extending TextNode isn't ideal**
- While possible, it's verbose, error-prone, and not composable. If
multiple features extend the same node, conflicts arise.
- That’s why we collaborated with the Lexical team to introduce [the new
State API](https://lexical.dev/docs/concepts/node-replacement)
([PR](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/7117)).
2. **Issues with patchStyles**
- Some community plugins use `patchStyles`, but storing CSS in the
editor’s JSON has drawbacks:
- Style adaptability: Users may want different styles per scenario
(dark/light mode, mobile/web, etc.).
- Migration challenges: Hardcoded colors (e.g., #FF0000) make updates
difficult. Using tokens (e.g., "red") allows flexibility.
- Larger JSON footprint increases DB size.
3. **Managing overlapping styles**
- Some users may want both text and background colors on the same node,
while others may prefer mutual exclusivity.
- This approach allows either:
- Using a single "color" state (e.g., "bg-red" + "text-red").
- Defining separate "bg-color" and "text-color" states for independent
styling.
4. **Good light and dark modes by default**
- Many major editors (Google Docs, OneNote, Word) treat dark mode as an
afterthought, leading to poor UX.
- We provide a well-balanced default palette that looks great in both
themes, serving as a strong foundation for customization.
5. **Feature name. Why TextState?**
- Other names considered were `TextFormatFeature` and
`TextStylesFeature`. The term `format` in Lexical and Payload is already
used to refer to something else (italic, bold, etc.). The term `style`
could be misleading since it is never attached to the editorState.
- State seems appropriate because:
- Lexical's new state API is used under the hood.
- Perhaps in the future we'll want to make state features for other
nodes, such as `ElementStateFeature` or `RootStateFeature`.
Note: There's a bug in Lexical's `forEachSelectedTextNode`. When the
selection includes a textNode partially on the left, all state for that
node is removed instead of splitting it along the selection edge.
Fixes#8168, #8277
The fact that `lexicalHTMLField` doesn't work with live preview was
already clarified at the beginning of the page. I mentioned it again in
the dedicated section because it seems there was still confusion.
Also, I reordered and hierarchized the headings correctly. The
introduction said there were two ways to convert to HTML, but there were
four headings with the same level. I also made the headings a little
shorter to make the table of contents easier to parse.
Adds a new date field to take submission values for.
It can help form serialisers render the right input for this kind of
field as the submissions themselves don't do any validation right now.
Disabled by default as to not cause any conflicts with existing projects
potentially inserting their own date blocks.
Can be enabled like this
```ts
formBuilderPlugin({
fields: {
date: true
}
})
```
