About multi-protocol collections

You can add non-HTTP requests to a collection, which then becomes a multi-protocol collection.

To create a multi-protocol collection, do the following:

1. Click Add next to the filter bar.
2. Choose the protocol you want to start a multi-protocol collection with.
3. Click Save, then add it to a new folder or save it to an existing multi-protocol folder.

To add a non-HTTP request to a multi-protocol collection folder, always use the Add button next to the filter bar and follow the same steps as above.
