Collections Prefix

If you're facing the error Invalid payload. Collections can't start with "directus_". when running directus-sync push, as shown below:

This is likely due to a restriction in Directus that prevents the creation of the directus_sync_id_map collection that is present in the snapshot.

This collection is essential for the operation of directus-sync but should not be created during the push operation.

This collection is created by the directus-extension-sync extension, which must be installed on your Directus instance.

Therefore, to resolve this issue, ensure that you have installed the directus-extension-sync on your target Directus instance.

You can refer to the installation guide for more information.
