To share your work via workspaces you will need to be signed in to your Postman account.

Sharing to workspaces

When you work in a Postman workspace, any entities you save to the workspace will be visible to other team members who share the workspace—with varying access levels depending on your team's configuration.

You can share various Postman entities to workspaces, or move them from one workspace to another, including collections, environments, and APIs.

To share an entity from Postman, find the entity based on what type it is:

• To share a collection, open it in Collections on the left of Postman and click Share, or Share collection in the ... menu.
• To share an API, in APIs on the left of Postman, open the ... menu and click Share API.
• To share an environment, click Manage environments gear icon at the top right of Postman and click Share next to the environment.

Alternatively find the collection, API, or environment in Browse mode or via your workspace in the Dashboard and click Share next to it.

You can share collections, APIs, and environments to specific workspaces. You can additionally share collections via embed and link options.

In the share modal, select the workspace you want to share the entity to. Team members in the target workspace will be able to access the entity when you share it there.

Toggle the radio button if you also want to remove the entity from its current workspace. If you want to share the collection but keep it in the current workspace as well, click Share collection. If you want the collection to be removed from the current workspace after you share it, click Share collection and remove from this workspace. The default selection is Share collection.

When you remove a collection from a workspace, all mocks, monitors, and integrations associated with it will also be removed.

Click Share and Continue.

Select view or edit access levels for each collaborator or the workspace as a whole. Click Save Roles.

Refer to Roles and permissions for more information on role-based user permissions.

If you want to restore a collection to a workspace it's been removed from, share the collection again. If the collection is deleted and you need to restore access to it, you will need to recover it first.

Sharing by link

You can share a collection using a link. In the collection share modal, select Get public link.

The link is a snapshot of your collection, so click Update Link and copy it for the most up to date version. You can then share it by pasting the copied link. You can also delete the link using the trash button.

You can manage a complete list of your active collection links from your Postman profile.

Next steps

Team members can request access to collections, environments, and APIs.
