BlockNote editors can upload PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF images up to 5 MB to S3-compatible storage, including Cloudflare R2. The API authorizes admins or project editors, issues scoped presigned PUT URLs, verifies stored metadata, and publishes a permanent image URL for Markdown. Saving waits until uploads finish.

Public Markdown renders responsive images with alt text, lazy loading and an error fallback. This also fixes signing-time empty-body checksums for browser uploads and documents R2 public domains, CORS and temporary-upload lifecycle configuration.

Validation:

  • Targeted API/storage and web editor/rendering tests passed.
  • Chromium upload-to-Markdown rendering tests passed on mobile/light and desktop/dark.
  • Changed-file format/lint checks, API/web typechecks, production web build and React Doctor regression check passed.

Live R2 uploads have not been tested. Permanent images are retained when removed from documents; unreferenced image cleanup is manual.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added image uploads in the editor, with project-specific access checks and feedback when uploads fail.
    • Markdown content now displays uploaded images and shows a fallback message when an image is unavailable.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Saving is blocked while image uploads are in progress, helping prevent content from being saved before images are ready.
    • Improved image display on narrow screens and prevented unsafe image content from rendering.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded storage setup guidance with image upload requirements, limits, and configuration details.

Walkthrough

This change adds a scoped content-image upload API and connects it to BlockNote. Editors track pending uploads and block saves until uploads finish. Markdown images render through a component that handles missing or failed sources.

Changes

Content images

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upload contract and API
packages/shared/src/schemas/upload.ts, packages/api/src/contracts/*, packages/api/src/routers/*, packages/api/src/s3.ts, packages/api/tests/content-image-upload.test.ts, packages/api/tests/s3-presigned-upload.test.ts
Shared schemas and API contracts define upload and completion requests. The router checks account and project access, origin, scope, and quota. It returns a presigned PUT URL and promotes valid uploads on completion. Tests cover request, access, validation, quota, and completion behavior.
Storage promotion and retries
packages/api/src/storage.ts, packages/api/tests/content-image-storage.test.ts, docs/development.md
Storage validates temporary image objects and promotes them to stable destinations. Destination reuse supports repeated completion without overwriting an existing image. Tests cover retries and failure handling. The setup documentation describes image upload configuration and limits.
Editor upload and save lifecycle
apps/web/src/components/block-note/*, apps/web/src/features/about/editor.tsx, apps/web/src/features/admin-blogs/editor.tsx, apps/web/src/features/admin-collections/editor.tsx, apps/web/src/features/admin-projects/components/*, apps/web/src/features/project/components/member-project-editor.tsx, apps/web/tests/content-image-upload.test.ts, apps/web/tests/browser/content-images.browser.tsx, apps/web/tests/block-note-import.test.tsx
BlockNote uploads images through the new API and tracks pending uploads. Save handlers return while an upload is in progress. The member project editor passes its project ID to BlockNote. Tests cover uploads, save blocking, browser behavior, and Markdown image round trips.
Markdown image rendering
apps/web/src/components/public-content/*, apps/web/tests/public-content.test.tsx
Markdown image nodes render through ContentImage. The component displays an unavailable message if the source is missing or an image load fails. Tests cover image attributes, load failures, and unsafe image content.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to ffcd1

Markdown image uploads now go through a scoped, authorized flow, and retries no longer delete published images. A rare race between concurrent completions by the same user could overwrite their own published image. That is a minor edge case and does not block merging.
