Collections
Postman Collections are the foundation of structured, reusable, and collaborative API workflows. Use them to organize related API elements and define data structures for consistent testing, documentation, and reuse.
Turn APIs into workflows in seconds
Share with your team in one click
Share editor or view access to collections through workspaces, links, or the Run in Postman button so your team can get right to work.
Move work where it belongs
Move collections across workspaces to keep your APIs in sync. Drop them into a team workspace to collaborate faster or into your Private API Network to make them easy to discover and use.
Fork and merge with ease
Fork collections to test new ideas or propose changes without affecting the original, then merge back when your updates are ready, allowing your team to move faster without disrupting existing work.
Build, test, and share APIs in one place
Save requests, add tests, use variables, and share docs in one place to catch bugs early and keep APIs consistent.

I recommend that everyone uses Postman Collections as they are a great way of sharing. Without collections, you'll spend time reading documentation or looking at code.””
