Managing Workspaces

You can manage personal and team Workspaces, and the Postman elements (collections, monitors, documentation, mocks, environments, and integrations) associated with a Workspace. You can perform such tasks as editing names and descriptions, viewing details, or creating elements for Workspaces.

In the Postman app, click any Workspace that displays in the header bar. In the image below, it’s “Team Workspace”.

Let’s explore how to manage Workspace elements.

Collections

Add collections to this Workspace or create collections in the Postman app. Collections is the default view.

Environments

Add environments to this Workspace or create environments in the Postman app. After you add environments, you can share them with other Workspaces.

Monitors

Create monitors to track the performance of collections in a Workspace. You can wait to see performanance results at the scheduled run time, or click the Run button to see performance results now.

Mocks

Create a mock server to simulate each endpoint and its corresponding environment in a collection, before sending the actual request. Postman redirects you to the app to create the mock server.

Integrations

View a list of current integrations or create Workspace integrations. If you create an integration, Postman provides a list of third party integration apps to help you create the type of integration you want.

Activity
