+
+## Overview
+
+The Rich Text field gives editors a WYSIWYG interface inside the Admin Panel. Content is stored as **JSON** in the database and converted to HTML (or any format) at render time.
+
+Payload's philosophy: learn the underlying open-source editor (Lexical), not Payload-specific APIs — knowledge transfers elsewhere.
+
+## Config Options
+
+| Option | Required | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| `name` | ✅ | DB property name |
+| `label` | | Admin Panel label (string or i18n object) |
+| `validate` | | Custom validation — runs on client and server |
+| `saveToJWT` | | Include value in user JWT (auth collections only) |
+| `hooks` | | Field-level hooks |
+| `access` | | Field-level access control |
+| `hidden` | | Hide from APIs and Admin Panel (still saved to DB) |
+| `defaultValue` | | Default JSON content |
+| `localized` | | Enable per-locale content |
+| `required` | | Field must have a value |
+| `admin` | | Admin Panel config (see below) |
+| `editor` | | Override or customize the rich text editor |
+| `custom` | | Extension point for plugin data |
+| `typescriptSchema` | | Override generated TS type with JSON schema |
+| `virtual` | | `true` = no DB column; or path string for virtual relationship |
+
+## Admin Options
+
+Inherits all base [[wiki/payloadcms/fields-overview|Field Admin Config]] options (`condition`, `disabled`, `components`, etc.).
+
+```ts
+import type { Field } from 'payload'
+
+export const MyRichTextField: Field = {
+  name: 'content',
+  type: 'richText',
+  admin: {
+    // standard admin options here
+  },
+}
+```
+
+Further customization (custom toolbar elements, nodes, features) is done via editor-specific options — see [[wiki/payloadcms/rich-text|Rich Text (Lexical) overview]].
+
+## Storage Format
+
+- Stored as **JSON** (not HTML string) — renderer-agnostic
+- Serialise to HTML on the frontend with `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/react` or custom serializers
+- JSON structure follows Lexical's EditorState format
+
+## Editor Customization
+
+The `editor` option accepts a configured Lexical editor instance:
+
+```ts
+import { lexicalEditor } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
+
+{
+  name: 'content',
+  type: 'richText',
+  editor: lexicalEditor({
+    features: ({ defaultFeatures }) => [...defaultFeatures],
+  }),
+}
+```
+
+Full feature list (headings, links, lists, blocks, inline code, etc.) documented in [[wiki/payloadcms/rich-text|Rich Text (Lexical)]].
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- **JSON storage** — not HTML; serialization happens at render time
+- **`editor` option** unlocks full Lexical customization (features, nodes, toolbar)
+- **`hidden: true`** still persists to DB, just invisible from APIs and Admin
+- **`virtual: true`** skips DB column entirely — useful for computed/derived content
+- **`saveToJWT`** embeds the field value in the user JWT — typically avoid for large rich text values
+- **Localized** works at field level — one locale per `richText` field instance
+- Underlying engine is **Lexical** (by Meta) — invest learning there, not Payload wrappers
