Choose a Payload package

Package	Owns	Does not own
@nexload-sdk/payload-fields	Concrete semantic Payload field factories and matching Admin UI	General schema derivation or editor feature policy
@nexload-sdk/payload-editor	Semantic Payload Lexical feature and preset configuration	Rich-text fields, frontend rendering, Blocks schemas, or themes
@nexload-sdk/payload-schema	Canonical field validation compiled into Payload fields and reusable Zod schemas	Collections, access control, populated documents, or CRUD DTO inference
@nexload-sdk/payload-operations	Typed custom operation contracts, Payload endpoints, SDK facade, transport plugins, and defined errors	CRUD replacement, collection definitions, transactions, retry, caching, batching, or custom serializers

The packages can be composed, but they do not wrap one another. Keep collection lifecycle, access, drafts, localization, tabs, and application business rules in the Payload application.
