PayloadCMS releases filter

v3.74.0 (2026-01-30)

🚀 Features

• thread override access in doc level hooks (#15421) (85d5263)
• extend strictDraftTypes to all draft operations (#15292) (9239164)
• add support for custom UnpublishButton component (#15400) (94254da)
• storage-r2: client uploads using R2 multipart api (#14733) (5c38902)

---

Override Access in Document-Level Hooks - Access the overrideAccess value inside collection and global hooks. Useful when hook logic needs to know whether access control was bypassed, such as when querying related documents up a hierarchy. #15421

export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  hooks: {
    beforeChange: [
      ({ overrideAccess, req }) => {
        if (overrideAccess) {
          // Access control was bypassed
        }
      },
    ],
  },
}

---

Extended strictDraftTypes to All Operations - When strictDraftTypes: true is enabled, TypeScript now enforces draft type safety across all Local API operations (not just queries). The draft option is forbidden for collections/globals without drafts enabled, preventing silent runtime behavior where draft flags are ignored. #15292

import { buildConfig } from 'payload'

export default buildConfig({
  typescript: {
    strictDraftTypes: true, // Enables compile-time draft enforcement
  },
  // ...
})

⚠️ Note: Generic collection slugs may require explicit type assertions when using draft options.

---

Custom UnpublishButton Component - Customize the UnpublishButton in collection and global configs, following the same pattern as PublishButton and SaveButton. Previously hardcoded. #15400

export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  admin: {
    components: {
      edit: {
        UnpublishButton: '/components/CustomUnpublishButton',
      },
    },
  },
}

---

R2 Multipart Client Uploads (storage-r2) - Upload large files directly from the client using R2's multipart API. Files are split into smaller parts and uploaded separately, avoiding Cloudflare Worker memory limits. #14733

---

Popup Prevent Close Attribute (ui) - Add interactive elements inside popups without triggering close behavior by adding the data-popup-prevent-close attribute. #15407

<Popup>
  <button data-popup-prevent-close onClick={handleClick}>
    Click me without closing
  </button>
</Popup>

---

Popup Portal className (ui) - Customize the Popup component's portal container with the new portalClassName prop. #15406

<Popup portalClassName="my-custom-portal-class">
  {/* content */}
</Popup>

Feature Details

🔥 Next.js 16 Support - Full compatibility with Next.js 16, including Turbopack HMR and build support. Requires Next.js >16.1.1-canary.35 or 16.2.0+. Templates will be updated after Next.js 16.2.0 is released. Support for cache components will follow in a future release #14456

WAL Mode Support (db-sqlite) - Enable SQLite Write-Ahead Logging for improved concurrent read/write performance. Configurable synchronous mode and journal size limit. #15278

Busy Timeout Option (db-sqlite) - Set maximum wait time in milliseconds when the database is locked, preventing SQLITE_BUSY errors in high-concurrency scenarios. #15317

Predefined Migration for blocksAsJSON (drizzle) - Migrate existing projects to use blocksAsJSON: true with a single command. Automatically updates your Payload config and generates the required migration. #15257

pnpm payload migrate:create --file @payloadcms/db-postgres/blocks-as-json

Request Handler in Live Preview Hooks (live-preview) - The useLivePreview hook (React and Vue) now accepts a requestHandler argument, allowing customization of data fetching. Useful when your frontend proxies requests or uses external middleware. #15302

Select API for MCP Tools (plugin-mcp) - Find, Create, and Update tools for Globals and Collections now support the select API, reducing token usage and aligning with Payload's existing query capabilities. #15301

Native useEffectEvent (ui) - Uses React's native useEffectEvent when available (React 19.2.0+), falling back to the existing polyfill for older versions. #15304

v3.72.0 (2026-01-16)

🚀 Features

• adds experimental option localizeStatus and allows unpublish per-locale functionality (#14667) (d77af00)
• plugin-mcp: add depth parameter support to all MCP find resource tools (#14931) (c979fb3)

---

Localized Status (Experimental) - Each locale can now track and manage its own publication status independently. Publish or unpublish individual locales without affecting others, with locale-aware UI and version history. Requires enabling at both config and collection level. #14667

// payload.config.ts
export default buildConfig({
  experimental: {
    localizeStatus: true,
  },
  // ...
})

// collections/Posts.ts
export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  versions: {
    drafts: {
      localizeStatus: true,
    },
  },
}

⚠️ Migration Required: If you have existing version data, run the provided migration helper to convert _status fields from strings to locale objects. See PR #14667 for full migration guide.

---

Depth Parameter Support (plugin-mcp) - MCP resource tools now support a depth parameter (0-10) to control relationship population depth. Use depth: 0 for lightweight ID-only responses or higher values for fully populated relationship data. Significantly reduces token count when reading documents. #14931

Feature Details

Job Queue Concurrency Supersedes - Newer jobs can automatically delete older pending jobs with the same concurrency key. Enables "last queued wins" behavior for scenarios where only the latest state matters. #15179

concurrency: {
  key: ({ input }) => `generate:${input.documentId}`,
  exclusive: true,
  supersedes: true,  // Newer jobs delete older pending ones (not yet completed and did not start processing yet)
}

Exclusive Concurrency Controls - Prevents race conditions when multiple jobs operate on the same resource. Jobs with the same concurrency key will not run in parallel. Requires enableConcurrencyControl: true (will default to true in v4.0). #15177

export default buildConfig({
  jobs: {
    enableConcurrencyControl: true,
    workflows: [{
      slug: 'syncDocument',
      concurrency: ({ input }) => `sync:${input.documentId}`,
      handler: async ({ job }) => {
        // Only one job per documentId runs at a time
      }
    }]
  }
})

Job Cancellation from Handlers - Throw JobCancelledError from within a task or workflow handler to stop the job without retrying. #15119

Custom Status Component - Replace the Status section in document or global edit views without replacing the entire Edit view. Useful for custom locale publishing logic or additional status indicators. #11154

admin: {
  components: {
    edit: {
      Status: '/components/Status/index.tsx#Status',
    },
  },
},

Bulk Operations Single Transaction (db-mongodb) - Handle database transaction limitations when processing large numbers of documents in bulk operations. Useful for DocumentDB and Cosmos DB which have cursor limitations within transactions. #14387

Additional IANA Timezones & Custom UTC Offsets - Support for additional IANA timezone names via DateTimeFormat API validation, custom UTC offsets in ±HH:mm format, and the ability to override the timezone field configuration. #15120

{
  name: 'eventTime',
  type: 'date',
  timezone: {
    supportedTimezones: [
      { label: 'UTC+5:30 (India)', value: '+05:30' },
      { label: 'UTC-8 (Pacific)', value: '-08:00' },
      { label: 'UTC+0', value: '+00:00' },
    ],
  },
}

Override the timezone field:

{
  name: 'publishedAt',
  type: 'date',
  label: 'Published At',
  timezone: {
    override: ({ baseField }) => ({
      ...baseField,
      admin: {
        ...baseField.admin,
        disableListColumn: true, // Hide from list view columns
      },
    }),
  },
}

Strict Draft Types (typescript) - Opt-in strictDraftTypes flag for correct type safety when querying drafts. When enabled, find operations with draft: true will correctly type required fields as optional. Will become default in v4.0. #14388

export default buildConfig({
  typescript: {
    strictDraftTypes: true,  // defaults to false
  },
})

Validation Error Context (drizzle) - Unique constraint ValidationErrors now include data.collection or data.global for better error context when debugging. #15147

Server-Side Cart Logic (plugin-ecommerce) - Cart logic moved to the server with new REST API endpoints. New hooks: onLogin (merge guest cart with user cart), onLogout (clear session), clearSession, mergeCart, and refreshCart. Support for custom cart item matchers and MongoDB-style $inc operator for quantity changes. #15142

/**
 * Custom cart item matcher that includes fulfillment option.
 */
const fulfillmentCartItemMatcher: CartItemMatcher = ({ existingItem, newItem }) => {
  const existingProductID =
    typeof existingItem.product === 'object' ? existingItem.product.id : existingItem.product

  const existingVariantID =
    existingItem.variant && typeof existingItem.variant === 'object'
      ? existingItem.variant.id
      : existingItem.variant

  const productMatches = existingProductID === newItem.product

  const variantMatches = newItem.variant
    ? existingVariantID === newItem.variant
    : !existingVariantID

  const existingFulfillment = existingItem.fulfillment as string | undefined
  const newFulfillment = newItem.fulfillment as string | undefined
  const fulfillmentMatches = existingFulfillment === newFulfillment

  return productMatches && variantMatches && fulfillmentMatches
}

refreshCart Method (plugin-ecommerce) - Manually refresh cart state after direct modifications, allowing the UI to stay in sync without being blocked by addItem's uniqueness validation. #14767

Import Functionality (plugin-import-export) - Complete plugin refactor with new import functionality. Config is now per-collection with required collections array. Supports disabling import/export per collection and custom collection overrides. #14782 ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE

importExportPlugin({
  overrideExportCollection: (collection) => {
    collection.admin.group = 'System'
    collection.upload.staticDir = path.resolve(dirname, 'uploads')
    return collection
  },
  overrideImportCollection: (collection) => {
    collection.admin.group = 'System'
    collection.upload.staticDir = path.resolve(dirname, 'uploads')
    return collection
  },
  collections: [
    {
      slug: 'posts',
      import: false, // disables import functionality, export enabled by default
    },
    {
      slug: 'pages',
      export: ({ collection }) => {
        collection.admin.group = 'System'
        collection.upload.staticDir = path.resolve(dirname, 'uploads')
        return collection
      },
      disableJobsQueue: true, // disable jobs queue for this collection only
    },
  ],
  debug: true,
})

Draft Parameter for MCP Find (plugin-mcp) - Query draft/unpublished documents via the MCP plugin's find tool using the new draft boolean parameter. #14924

Globals Support (plugin-mcp) - New MCP tools to find and update globals. #15091

Request Parameter in Nested Docs (plugin-nested-docs) - req parameter added to generateURL and generateLabel functions for more flexibility (e.g., reading current locale). #14617

Skip Sync (plugin-search) - Conditionally skip syncing documents to the search index based on locale, document properties, or other criteria. #14928

skipSync: async ({ locale, doc, collectionSlug, req }) => {
  if (!locale) return false

  const tenant = await req.payload.findByID({
    collection: 'tenants',
    id: doc.tenant.id,
  })

  return !tenant.allowedLocales.includes(locale)
}

Automatic Type Inference (sdk) - The SDK automatically uses your generated types via module augmentation—no need to manually pass GeneratedTypes. #15167

import { PayloadSDK } from '@payloadcms/sdk'

const sdk = new PayloadSDK({}) // Types inferred automatically from payload-types.ts

Proper Error Handling (sdk) - The SDK now throws PayloadSDKError on failed API requests with status, errors, response, and message properties. #15148

import { PayloadSDKError } from '@payloadcms/sdk'

try {
  await sdk.create({ collection: 'posts', data: { ... } })
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof PayloadSDKError) {
    console.log(err.status)  // 400
    console.log(err.errors)  // [{ name: 'ValidationError', message: '...', data: {...} }]
  }
}

Japanese Translations (plugin-redirects) - Localized admin UI strings for Japanese users. #15080

v3.70.0 (2026-01-05)

🚀 Features

• support qs-esm sort arrays in REST API (#15065) (2ccf898)
• richtext-lexical: adds docs page for lexical blocks, adds new lexical block component types and styles (#14971) (329115c)

Multi-Column REST API Sorting

Sort by multiple columns in the REST API using array syntax, aligning REST API behavior with the Local API. Previously only string-based sorting was supported. #15065

// Sort by multiple fields via REST API query string
// GET /api/posts?sort[0]=createdAt&sort[1]=-title

// Equivalent to Local API:
const posts = await payload.find({
  collection: 'posts',
  sort: ['createdAt', '-title'],
})

Lexical Blocks Documentation & Component Styles (richtext-lexical)

New documentation page for Lexical blocks with comprehensive examples showing usage and customization. Also introduces new block component types and styles for enhanced rich text editing. https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/14971

See the https://payloadcms.com/docs/rich-text/blocks for full details.

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES

@payloadcms/storage-s3

Only users with custom hooks on S3 upload fields are affected — standard plugin usage is unchanged.

• External upload process for the S3 plugin has moved from beforeChange to afterChange as a result of fix: s3 plugin uploads files before validation (#14988)

This change was necessary to ensure that files uploaded to S3 have passed all validations and been saved to the document, preventing orphaned external files.

v3.68.3 (2025-12-11)

⚠️ Security Issue

• deps: bump minimum next version to 15.4.9 (#14898) (2ba4ee0)

A high-severity Denial of Service (CVE-2025-55184) and a medium-severity Source Code Exposure (CVE-2025-55183) affect React 19 and frameworks that use it, like Next.js.

Full details here: https://vercel.com/kb/bulletin/security-bulletin-cve-2025-55184-and-cve-2025-55183#how-to-upgrade-and-protect-your-next.js-app

While this is not a Payload vulnerability, it may affect any Payload project running on the affected versions of Next.js. Payload does not install any of these dependencies directly, it simply enforces their versions through its peer dependencies, which will only warn you of the version incompatibilities.

You will need to upgrade React and Next.js yourself in your own apps to the patched versions listed below in order to receive these updates.

Resolution

You are strongly encouraged to upgrade your own apps to the nearest patched versions of Next.js and deploy immediately.

Quick steps:

If using pnpm as your package manager, here's a one-liner:

pnpm add next@15.4.9

v3.66.0 (2025-12-03)

⚠️ Security Issue

A critical-severity vulnerability in React Server Components (CVE-2025-55182) affects React 19 and frameworks that use it, including Next.js (CVE-2025-66478).

You are strongly encouraged to immediately upgrade your own apps to the nearest patched versions of React and Next.js.

While this is not a Payload vulnerability, it may affect any Payload project running on the affected versions of React or Next.js. Payload does not install any of these dependencies directly, it simply enforces their versions through its peer dependencies, which will only warn of the version incompatibilities.

You will need to upgrade React and Next.js yourself in your own apps to the patched versions listed below in order to receive these updates.

Quick steps:

If using pnpm as your package manager, here's a one-liner:

pnpm add react@19.2.1 next@15.4.8

To do this manually:

1. In your package.json:
   • Bump react to 19.2.1
   • Bump next to 15.4.8
2. Reinstall node modules, e.g. pnpm i
3. Redeploy your app

Here's a full breakdown of the vulnerable packages and their patched releases:

| Vulnerable package | Patched release | | ------------- | ------------- | | React | 19.0, 19.1, 19.2 19.0.1, 19.1.2, and 19.2.1 | | Next.js | 14.3.0-canary, 15.x, and 16.x (App Router) 14.3.0-canary.88, 15.0.5, 15.1.9, 15.2.6, 15.3.6, 15.4.8, 15.5.7, 16.0.7 |

See https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/14807 for more details.

🚀 Features

• support custom slugify functions (#14117) (59a1607)
• accessibility testing and improvements (#14454) (42cbd70)
• support external JSON schema file references in type generation (#14749) (cb3a078)
• cpa: assume adapter for with-cloudflare-d1 template (#14799) (4f03016)
• richtext-lexical: add align support to upload nodes (#14720) (a21c47b)

Feature Details

Custom Slugify Functions - Override the default slug field behavior with your own slugify function. Useful for special character encoding, additional language support, or custom slug formatting. Also deprecates fieldToUse in favor of useAsSlug for consistency with useAsTitle. #14117

import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
import { slugField } from 'payload'
import slugify from 'slugify';

export const MyCollection: CollectionConfig = {
  // ...
  fields: [
    // ...
    slugField({
      slugify: ({ valueToSlugify }) => slugify(valueToSlugify, {
        // ...additional `slugify` options here
      })
    })
  ]
}

Accessibility Testing and Improvements - Adds automated accessibility testing infrastructure including axe a11y scans, focus indicator checks, and horizontal scroll overflow detection. Covers all fields, major views, components, plugins, and Lexical editor. See the a11y report discussion for tracked issues. #14454

External JSON Schema References in Type Generation - Enables $ref pointers to external .json schema files in typescriptSchema field config. External references are resolved relative to process.cwd(). #14749

// payload.config.ts
{
  typescript: {
    schema: [
      ({ jsonSchema }) => {
        jsonSchema.definitions.MyType = {
          $ref: './schemas/my-type.json'
        }
        return jsonSchema
      },
    ]
  }
}

Auto-detect D1 Adapter (cpa) - The with-cloudflare-d1 template now automatically assumes the D1 database adapter, eliminating the database selection prompt during project creation. #14799

Upload Node Alignment (richtext-lexical) - Adds alignment support to upload nodes in the Lexical editor. Upload/media blocks can now be aligned left, center, or right using the FORMAT_ELEMENT_COMMAND. #14720

v3.65.0 (2025-11-25)

❗️Breaking Change

This release disables Turbopack Build support. Please use Webpack to build your app for now. You can do so by using pnpm build on Next.js 15 and pnpm build --webpack on Next.js 16.

🚀 Features

• add augmentable interfaces for collection and global custom properties (#14729) (850c252)
• allow to specify payload instance cache key in handleEndpoints (#14675) (efa2fd2)
• db-mongodb: add afterCreateConnection and afterOpenConnection hooks (#14649) (af6ba86)
• plugin-mcp: add localization support to MCP resource operations (#14334) (a3f490b)
• plugin-mcp: adds a PayloadRequest to custom tool, prompt, and resource handlers (#14644) (0d14b06)
• ui: extract block selector from blocks drawer (#14697) (b9b11f0)

Type-Safe Custom Properties - Add augmentable interfaces for collection and global custom properties: CollectionCustom, CollectionAdminCustom, GlobalCustom, and GlobalAdminCustom. Enables type-safe plugin configuration at the collection/global level with full autocomplete support, matching the existing FieldCustom pattern. #14729

// Augment interfaces in your plugin or project
declare module 'payload' {
  export interface CollectionAdminCustom {
    disabledFields?: string[]
  }

  export interface CollectionCustom {
    myPluginConfig?: {
      enabled: boolean
      settings: Record<string, any>
    }
  }
}

// Now get full type safety in collections
export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  admin: {
    custom: {
      disabledFields: ['status'] // ✅ Type-safe!
    }
  },
  custom: {
    myPluginConfig: {
      enabled: true,
      settings: {}
    }
  }
}

Payload Instance Cache Key - Specify payloadInstanceCacheKey in handleEndpoints and createPayloadRequest to control which cached Payload instance is used for custom endpoints. Useful for multi-tenant scenarios or when managing multiple Payload instances. #14675

MongoDB Connection Lifecycle Hooks (db-mongodb) - Add afterCreateConnection and afterOpenConnection hooks to the MongoDB adapter for performing setup logic after connection/pool initialization. Enables use cases like connection pooling in serverless environments. #14649

export const databaseAdapter = mongooseAdapter({
  // ...
  afterOpenConnection: async (adapter) => {
    const client = adapter.connection.getClient()
    attachDatabasePool(client);
  },
})

MCP Localization Support (plugin-mcp) - Add full localization support to MCP resource operations (create, update, find, delete). All MCP tools now accept locale and fallbackLocale parameters, bringing feature parity with Payload's REST API for multilingual content management. #14334

// Create content in English
{ "name": "createPosts", "arguments": { "title": "Hello", "locale": "en" }}

// Add Spanish translation
{ "name": "updatePosts", "arguments": { "id": "123", "title": "Hola", "locale": "es" }}

// Retrieve all translations
{ "name": "findPosts", "arguments": { "id": "123", "locale": "all" }}

PayloadRequest in MCP Handlers (plugin-mcp) - Custom tool, prompt, and resource handlers now receive a PayloadRequest object, enabling access to the Payload instance and consistent access control patterns without additional lookups. #14644

// Previously
handler: async (args: Record<string, unknown>) => {}

// Now with req parameter
handler: async (args: Record<string, unknown>, req: PayloadRequest, _extra) => {
  // Access payload instance, user, locale, etc.
  const { payload, user, locale } = req
}

Reusable Block Selector Component (ui) - Extract BlockSelector component from BlocksDrawer and export for external use. Includes new onSelect callback for custom side effects when blocks are selected. #14697

v3.64.0 (2025-11-13)

🚀 Features

• add support for UTC timezone in date fields (#14586) (8b34e40)
• next: turbopack build support, fix incorrect handling of external packages (#14475) (3a975d7)
• plugin-mcp: adds MCP context to req.payloadAPI (#14595) (860bdf2)
• plugin-mcp: adds custom auth config (#14538) (73a18dc)
• plugin-redirects: support translations (#14548) (ad8f0b2)

UTC Timezone Support - Add support for 'UTC' as a timezone value in date fields. Previously unsupported due to validation against Intl API runtime values. Also fixes issue where having only one timezone would make it selected by default. #14586

import { buildConfig } from 'payload'

const config = buildConfig({
  admin: {
    timezones: {
      supportedTimezones: [
        {
          label: 'UTC',
          value: 'UTC',
        },
      ],
      defaultTimezone: 'UTC',
    },
  },
})

Turbopack Build Support - Full support for Turbopack builds (now default in Next.js 16). Properly externalizes database adapter entry points to prevent production failures. Resolves issues with direct dependency externalization causing runtime errors. #14475

MCP Context Detection - Detect when Payload API calls originate from MCP context using req.payloadAPI === 'MCP'. Enables conditional logic in hooks based on MCP usage. #14595

export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  hooks: {
    beforeRead: [
      ({ doc, req }) => {
        if (req.payloadAPI === 'MCP') {
          doc.title = `${doc.title} (MCP Hook Override)`
        }
        return doc
      },
    ],
  },
}

Custom Auth Configuration - Override default API key authentication with custom authorization logic using overrideAuth. Provides granular control over MCP access permissions. #14538

import { type MCPAccessSettings, mcpPlugin } from '@payloadcms/plugin-mcp'

plugins: [
  mcpPlugin({
    overrideAuth: (req) => {
      return {
        posts: { find: true },
        products: { find: true, update: true },
      } as MCPAccessSettings
    },
  })
]

Redirect Plugin Translation Support - Enable translations for plugin fields, eliminating need for verbose field overrides configuration. Configure field labels in multiple languages directly through i18n config. #14548

export default buildConfig({
  i18n: {
    translations: {
      en: {
        'plugin-redirects': {
          fromUrl: 'Source URL (Custom)',
        },
      },
      de: {
        'plugin-redirects': {
          fromUrl: 'Quell-URL',
          internalLink: 'Interner Link',
        },
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [redirectsPlugin({ collections: ['pages'] })],
})

v3.63.0 (2025-11-07)

🚀 Features

• add support for polymorphic uploads (#14363) (df40d0e)
• adds new UI option Duplicate In [Select Locales] (#13803) (53d8557)

Polymorphic Uploads

Upload fields can now reference multiple upload collections, similar to polymorphic relationships. This enables more flexible media management where a single field can accept different types of files from various collections. Works seamlessly with bulk upload and hasMany options. #14363

import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'

export const ExampleCollection: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'example-collection',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'media',
      type: 'upload',
      relationTo: ['images', 'documents', 'videos'], // references multiple upload collections
    },
  ],
}

Can also be combined with hasMany:

import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'

export const ExampleCollection: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'example-collection',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'media',
      type: 'upload',
      relationTo: ['images', 'documents', 'videos'], // references multiple upload collections
      hasMany: true, // allows multiple uploads
    },
  ],
}

v3.62.1 (2025-11-03)

🐛 Bug Fixes

The KV implementation was requiring all postgres users to have to create a new migration. The following fix prevents that.

• disable lockedDocuments if the kv adapter uses a collection (#14453) (6930aaf)

v3.62.0 (2025-10-30)

🚀 Features

Jobs Access Control

Adds role-based access control for job queue and cancel operations, allowing you to restrict who can manage background jobs in your application. Both operations now support overrideAccess parameter and respect custom access control functions defined in your jobs configuration. #14404

// Configure access control
jobs: {
  access: {
    queue: ({ req }) => req.user?.roles?.includes('admin'),
    cancel: ({ req }) => req.user?.roles?.includes('admin'),
  }
}

// Use in Local API
await payload.jobs.cancel({
  where: { workflowSlug: { equals: 'sync' } },
  overrideAccess: false,
  req,
})

Per-Field Timezone Configuration

Date fields can now have individual timezone settings, allowing different date fields to support their own list of supported timezones with custom default values. This enables more flexible date handling across your application. #14410

{
  name: 'date',
  type: 'date',
  timezone: {
    defaultTimezone: 'America/New_York',
    supportedTimezones: [
      { label: 'New York', value: 'America/New_York' },
      { label: 'Los Angeles', value: 'America/Los_Angeles' },
      { label: 'London', value: 'Europe/London' },
    ],
  },
}

You can also enforce a specific timezone by specifying just one with a default value:

{
  name: 'date',
  type: 'date',
  timezone: {
    defaultTimezone: 'Europe/London',
    supportedTimezones: [
      { label: 'London', value: 'Europe/London' },
    ],
  },
}

KV Storage Adapters

Introduces a new key-value storage system with multiple adapter options (Database, In-Memory, Redis) for enhanced data persistence and performance. This provides the foundation for the upcoming Realtime API and other features requiring fast key-value access. #9913

Access the KV store via payload.kv with the following interface:

interface KVAdapter {
  /**
   * Clears all entries in the store.
   * @returns A promise that resolves once the store is cleared.
   */
  clear(): Promise<void>

  /**
   * Deletes a value from the store by its key.
   * @param key - The key to delete.
   * @returns A promise that resolves once the key is deleted.
   */
  delete(key: string): Promise<void>

  /**
   * Retrieves a value from the store by its key.
   * @param key - The key to look up.
   * @returns A promise that resolves to the value, or `null` if not found.
   */
  get(key: string): Promise<KVStoreValue | null>

  /**
   * Checks if a key exists in the store.
   * @param key - The key to check.
   * @returns A promise that resolves to `true` if the key exists, otherwise `false`.
   */
  has(key: string): Promise<boolean>

  /**
   * Retrieves all the keys in the store.
   * @returns A promise that resolves to an array of keys.
   */
  keys(): Promise<string[]>

  /**
   * Sets a value in the store with the given key.
   * @param key - The key to associate with the value.
   * @param value - The value to store.
   * @returns A promise that resolves once the value is stored.
   */
  set(key: string, value: KVStoreValue): Promise<void>
}

Configure the adapter using the kv property:

buildConfig({
  kv: adapter()
})

Database KV adapter (default) - Uses your existing database with a hidden payload-kv collection:

import { databaseKVAdapter } from 'payload'

buildConfig({
  kv: databaseKVAdapter({
    kvCollectionOverrides: {
      slug: 'custom-kv',
      ...(process.env.DEBUG === 'true' && {
        admin: { hidden: false },
        access: {},
      }),
    },
  }),
})

In Memory KV adapter - Fast memory-based storage for development:

import { inMemoryKVAdapter } from 'payload'

buildConfig({
  kv: inMemoryKVAdapter(),
})

Redis KV Adapter - Production-ready Redis integration:

pnpm add @payloadcms/kv-redis

import { redisKVAdapter } from '@payloadcms/kv-redis'

buildConfig({
  kv: redisKVAdapter({
    keyPrefix: "custom-prefix:", // defaults to 'payload-kv:'
    redisURL: "redis://127.0.0.1:6379" // defaults to process.env.REDIS_URL

Configurable Toast Position

Toast notifications can now be positioned anywhere on the screen (top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right), giving you control over where important messages appear to your users. This is particularly useful for applications with large screens or specific UI layouts. #14405

The position configuration is a direct pass-through of the Sonner library's position options, with 'bottom-right' remaining the default.

v3.60.0 (2025-10-16)

🚀 Features

• accept multiple locales in fallbackLocale (#13822) (623a1b8)

• richtext-lexical: client-side block markdown shortcuts, code block (#13813) (07a1eff)

Localization

• Multiple fallback locales - fallbackLocale now accepts an array of locales for queries and locale configs. Payload will check each locale in order until finding a value, eliminating the need for manual fallback handling. #13822

  /** Local API **/
    await payload.findByID({
      id,
      collection,
      locale: 'en',
      fallbackLocale: ['fr', 'es'],
    })
  
  /** REST API **/
    await fetch(`${baseURL}/api/${collectionSlug}?locale=en&fallbackLocale[]=fr&fallbackLocale[]=es`)
  
  /** GraphQL **/
    await restClient.GRAPHQL_POST({
      body,
      query: { locale: 'en', fallbackLocale: ['fr', 'es']},
    })
  
  /** Locale Configs **/
    locales: [
      {
        code: 'en',
        label: 'English',
        fallbackLocale: ['fr', 'es'],
      },
    ]
  

Admin UI

• Settings menu in navigation - New admin.components.settingsMenu config option adds a gear icon above the logout button. Click to open a popup menu with custom admin-level utilities and actions that don't fit into collection or global navigation. #14139

  <img width="174" height="239" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-14 at 11 43 37 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5dca8ea7-ed99-4bc1-89c2-bc6da7d8f323" />

Multi-Tenant Plugin

• Collection access overrides - New accessResultOverride callback allows modifying multi-tenant access control results per operation (read, create, update, delete, readVersions, unlock). Enables custom logic like allowing shared content across tenants. #14127

  multiTenantPlugin<ConfigType>({
    collections: {
      posts: {
        accessResultOverride: async ({ accessResult, accessKey, req }) => {
          // here is where you can change the access result or return something entirely different
          if (accessKey === 'read') {
            return {
              or: [
                {
                  isShared: {
                    equals: true,
                  }
                },
                accessResult
              ]
            }
          } else {
            return accessResult
          }
        }
      }
    }
  })
  

• Multiple tenants per document - Tenant field overrides now support hasMany relationships, allowing documents to belong to multiple tenants. #14120

• User collection access overrides - New usersAccessResultOverride callback enables customizing access control on the users collection, overriding default tenant privacy when needed. #14119

  usersAccessResultOverride: ({
    accessKey: 'read', // 'create', 'read', 'update', 'delete', 'readVersions', 'unlock'
    accessResult: AccessResult, // the `AccessResult` type
    ...args, // AccessArgs
  }) => {
    // this is where you could adjust what gets returned here.
    if (accessKey === 'read') {
      return true // over simplified example
    }
  
    // default to returning the result from the plugin
    return accessResult
  }
  

Lexical Rich Text

• Upload collection filtering - UploadFeature now supports disabledCollections and enabledCollections to control which collections appear in the upload drawer. Also refactors enabled relationships logic with cleaner useEnabledRelationships hook. #14111

• Client-side markdown shortcuts & code blocks - Blocks with admin.jsx now support markdown shortcuts on the client (previously server-only). Includes pre-made CodeBlock component for use in BlocksFeature. Also fixes readOnly handling across nested fields. #13813

v3.58.0 (2025-09-30)

🚀 Features

Ecommerce plugin and template (#8297) (ef4874b)

The Ecommerce Template and Plugin is now ready in beta, you can get started by running the Payload CPA command below

pnpx create-payload-app my-project -t ecommerce

Full docs are available on our website

Payload SDK package (#9463) (92a5f07)

Allows querying Payload REST API in a fully type safe way. Has support for all necessary operations, including auth, type safe select, populate, joins properties and simplified file uploading. Its interface is very similar to the Local API.

import { PayloadSDK } from '@payloadcms/sdk'
import type { Config } from './payload-types'

// Pass your config from generated types as generic
const sdk = new PayloadSDK<Config>({
  baseURL: 'https://example.com/api',
})

// Find operation
const posts = await sdk.find({
  collection: 'posts',
  draft: true,
  limit: 10,
  locale: 'en',
  page: 1,
  where: { _status: { equals: 'published' } },
})

v3.44.0 (2025-06-27)

🚨 Notice 🚨

If your project uses the local auth strategy with db-postgres or db-sqlite, a migration is required. This is due to a new security feature (enabled by default) that stores a unique auth session identifier in the database.

To opt out and continue using the previous behavior, you can disable the feature by setting auth.useSessions: false in your users collection config.

For example:

// payload.config.ts
collections: [
  {
    slug: 'users',
    auth: {
      useSessions: false,
    },
    fields: [],
  },
],

v3.39.0 (2025-05-22)

🚀 Features

📁 Folders (#10030) (00667fa)

Folders allow you to organize your documents in a more manageable way. Now you can enable folders on a per-collection basis and from there start adding folders from within the admin panel (or via the API). Once you have folders enabled you can then start organizing. You can create folders and store documents across multiple collection types and then view them either in the collection "By Folder" or in the global "Browse by Folder" view.
