  Hey

  @1019985820033224704

  
  
  

  The easiest would be to just modify the

  custom.scss

  in the (payload) folder by targeting those thumbnail styles to be larger

  Hey

  @654031862146007055

  thanks!

  
  
  

  It looks like some other sizes already exists in the CSS. Is there any way to use them?

  
  
  

  If not i'll just override in custom.scss but I was wondering.

  It's not about the sizes that are generated - those are meant as variations for

  you

  to use on your own frontend. By default, the admin panel uses either your adminThumbnail or the smallest size larger than 40px. However, the actual image gets rendered at 40px so it wouldn't matter anyway since it's restricted based on css.

  Ok perfect. Thanks!

  
  
  

  I have 2 other questions, should I open a new thread for them?

•

  We can walk through them here

  Is there any way to add multiple medias to an article (in the lexical editor), instead of adding them one by one.

  
  
  

  like a few checkboxes we could click, and it adds all the medias

•

  Ah, not with the default built-in features, you'd have to author a custom lexical feature for that I think

  You can do that for regular media uploads, but specifically for Lexical it's one by one for now

  
  
  

  The above is for document views, but what I understand is that you want to do this in a lexical editor field

•

  yeah exactly. I would like to open the Media drawer from Lexical, select 4 pictures, save, and it will add all 4 to my article

  
  
  

  our articles are often with 15-20 pictures, so our writers are having a hard time (and long time) doing it one by one.

  Best bet would be a custom lexical feature I think, you can use the existing one as a guide/inspo as the functionality would be similar

  One last question!

  
  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/collections#list-searchable-fields
  
  

  Just to 100% confirm, shoudl I index the fields myself, or will Payload do it in the schema directly?

• 

  zed0547last year

  You should add

  index: true

  do your fields

  
  
  

  And Payload handles the rest

• 

  frederichoulelast year

  ok great

  
  
  

  Thanks!

  
  
  

  We're migrating a network of 13 websites, 20 writers to Payload, so far it's going well.

  Super happy to hear that! Payload has become my favourite tool by far

  
  
  

  There's so much you can do with it, it's such a joy to work with

  
  
  

  Let me know if you have any other questions!
