View collection activity and elements with the Overview tab

A collection's Overview tab provides a summary of the collection's purpose, recent activity, and related elements. Collaborators can check this tab to view the collection's description, recent changes, pinned environments, monitors, mocks, and more.

On the Overview tab you can view the following collection information:

• Description - Explains what the collection is and how it can be used. To learn more, see Add descriptions to a collection.

• View complete documentation - Click to view all of the collection's documentation.

• Recent changes - Lists the most recent changes to the collection. Click View all changes to view the complete changelog.

• Pinned Environments - Shows the pinned environments in the collection. Click to open the environment dropdown list, where you can pin other environments to the collection. You can also select View more actions next to an environment to set it as the default pinned environment, set it as the active environment, or unpin it.
