Prepare your internal workspace for team collaboration

You can use an internal workspace to draft and organize your work, and collaborate with your team. To prepare your internal workspace, you’ll fork your public collections from your public workspace to your internal workspace.

When your public API’s next iteration is ready to publish, you can create a pull request and merge your changes to your public workspace. This makes your latest changes available to your API consumers on the Postman API Network.

If you prefer to use one workspace to manage your public APIs, you can skip the following sections and publish your public APIs to the Postman API Network.

Create your internal workspace

Create an internal workspace where your team drafts and reviews your next release. When you create it, choose whether to share access with everyone in your team or only you and invited people. Then, invite the team members who’ll contribute to and review your changes.

Fork your public collections from your public workspace

To fork your public collections from your public workspace, do the following:

1. Open your public workspace and the collection you want to fork.
2. Next to your collection, click View more actions. Then, click Fork.
3. Choose your team workspace. Then, click Fork Collection.

Your team workspace is ready to serve as your public API’s source of truth.
