import { docsReorder } from '@payload-enchants/docs-reorder';

export default buildConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [
    docsReorder({
      collections: [{ slug: 'pages' }], // The feature will be enabled only for collections that are in this array.,
      access: ({ req, data }) => {
        // Optional, configure access for `saveChanges` endpoint, default: Boolean(req.user)
        return req.user?.collection === 'admins';
      },
    }),
  ],
});
