All collection `find` queries are paginated automatically. Responses are returned with top-level meta data related to pagination, and returned documents are nested within a `docs` array.
**`Find` response properties:**
| Property | Description |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| docs | Array of documents in the collection |
| totalDocs | Total available documents within the collection |
| limit | Limit query parameter - defaults to `10` |
| totalPages | Total pages available, based upon the `limit` queried for |
| page | Current page number |
| pagingCounter | `number` of the first doc on the current page |
| hasPrevPage | `true/false` if previous page exists |
| hasNextPage | `true/false` if next page exists |
| prevPage | `number` of previous page, `null` if it doesn't exist |
| nextPage | `number` of next page, `null` if it doesn't exist |
**Example response:**
```json

// Document Array // highlight-line

## Pagination controls
All Payload APIs support the pagination controls below. With them, you can create paginated lists of documents within your application:
| Control | Description |
| ------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `limit` | Limits the number of documents returned |
| `page` | Get a specific page number |
### Disabling pagination within Local API
For `find` operations within the Local API, you can disable pagination to retrieve all documents from a collection by passing `pagination: false` to the `find` local operation.
