Create your first workspace

Postman workspaces enable you to organize and work together on API projects with your team. Within each workspace you can share APIs, collections, environments, and other Postman elements.

When you first open Postman, you will be in your default personal workspace. You can create more workspaces for your personal use and to work with teammates. To create more workspaces, you need to sign in to your Postman account.

To create a new workspace, do the following:

1. If you haven't already, install the Postman desktop app and sign in to Postman.

2. Select Workspaces in the upper left. Select Create Workspace to add a new workspace. You can also search for existing workspaces using the search bar or select one from the dropdown list.

   

3. You can use workspace templates to help you set up a new workspace. Select a workspace template to populate the workspace with helpful information and sample collections, or select Blank workspace to create an empty workspace. Then select Next.

   

4. Enter a Name for your workspace.

5. Choose who can access the workspace:

   • A Personal workspace is visible to you. If you're on an Enterprise team, Super Admins will also have access to any personal workspaces created within the team.
   • A Private workspace is visible to you and to any team members you invite to it (Professional and Enterprise plans only).
   • A Partner workspace is visible to your team and your external partners. Learn more about using Partner Workspaces. (Postman Enterprise Ultimate plans only)
   • A Team workspace is visible to everyone on your team.
   • A Public workspace is visible to all Postman users.

6. Select Create.

   

Postman will switch to your new workspace when you create it. You can start editing and adding to it right away.

You can move between workspaces at any time by selecting from the Workspaces dropdown list in the upper left.
