*** title: Prepare your internal workspace for team collaboration updated: 2025-11-26T00:00:00.000Z slug: docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/team-workspace max-toc-depth: 2 ---------------- You can use an internal workspace to draft and organize your work, and [collaborate with your team](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/collaborate-in-postman-overview/). To prepare your internal workspace, you'll fork [your public collections](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/public-collections/) from [your public workspace](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/public-workspace/) to your internal workspace. When your public API's next iteration is ready to publish, you can [create a pull request](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/publish/maintain-public-apis/#create-a-pull-request-to-merge-to-your-public-collection) and [merge your changes](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/publish/maintain-public-apis/#review-approve-and-merge-the-pull-request-to-your-public-collection) to [your public workspace](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/prepare/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](/docs/postman-api-network/showcase/publish/public-apis/). ## Create your internal workspace Depending on your team's workflow, you can create a workspace that's visible only to you and specific people or your entire team. To create your private or team workspace, do the following: 1. From the Postman header, click **Workspaces** > **Create Workspace**. 2. If you want to use a [workspace template](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/create-workspaces/#apply-a-template-to-a-workspace), select one. 3. Click **Next**. 4. Name your workspace. 5. Click Team icon **Internal**. Then, click **Everyone in *team*** or **Only you and invited people**. 6. Click **Create**. To learn more, see [Create a workspace in Postman](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/create-workspaces/). ## Invite team members to your workspace To invite team members to your workspace, do the following: 1. From the Postman header, click Invite icon **Invite**. 2. Use the available options, such as email, to invite your team members. 3. Choose a role for each team member. 4. Click **Invite**. You can continue to invite team members as your workspace, its collections, and your public APIs evolve. To learn more, see [Share workspace](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/manage-workspaces/#share-workspaces). ## Edit your workspace details To edit your workspace details, do the following: 1. If your workspace's Overview icon **Overview** tab isn't open, from the Postman sidebar, click your workspace's name. 2. Under **Workspace description**, add a description. 3. Under **About**, add a summary. 4. If you're on the Postman Enterprise plan, under **Tags**, add [tags](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/use-workspaces/#tag-a-workspace). You can continue to edit your workspace details as your workspace, its collections, and your public APIs evolve. To learn more, see [Edit workspace details](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/manage-workspaces/#edit-workspace-details). ## 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. 2. From the Postman sidebar, click Collection icon **Collections**. 3. Next to your collection, click Options icon **View more actions**. Then, select **Create a fork**. 4. Select your team workspace. Then, click **Fork Collection**. 5. Repeat these steps for each of your public collections. Your team workspace is ready to serve as your public API's source of truth. To learn more, see [Create a fork](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-version-control/forking-elements/#create-a-fork).
