Figma to PayloadCMS — Part 3: Building a Fully Custom Header — Nav Links, Dropdowns & CTA Button

Headers aren't just a list of links. Done right in Payload, they're a powerful editor-friendly global your clients will love. Let's build it properly.

🎯 What you'll learn:
• Global vs Collection — when to use each
• Nav links array with nested dropdowns
• CTA button field with link and style options
• Logo management via the media collection
• Previewing header data through the Payload API

🔑 Key concept: We mirror the Figma component structure directly in our Payload field schema.
