Create copies of flows with clones

You can create copies of flows with the clone feature in Postman Flows. When you clone a flow, the cloned flow includes all the requests and modules present in the original flow. You can clone a flow into the same workspace as the original or into a different workspace. When you clone a flow into a new workspace, any referenced flows or requests are grouped into a folder with the cloned flow.

Clone a flow into the same workspace

To clone a flow into the same workspace as the original flow, do the following:

1. In the flow you want to clone, select Clone. A dialog appears with the current workspace already selected.

   

2. Select Continue.

3. The cloned flow opens and appears in the list of flows in the sidebar. The cloned flow is named "flow name copy".

Clone a flow into a different workspace

To clone a flow into a different workspace than the original flow, do the following:

1. In the flow you want to clone, select Clone.

2. In the dialog that appears, select the destination workspace from the dropdown list.

   

3. Select Continue.

4. A dialog appears showing the cloning process. When the process is complete, select Open Cloned Flow to open the cloned flow in its workspace, or select Close to return to the original flow in the current workspace.

Be aware of the following when cloning a flow into a different workspace:

• The cloned flow keeps the same name as the original.

• The cloned flow resides in the "Clone of flow name" folder in the destination workspace.

• If the original flow references any flows with the Flow Module block, they appear in a folder named Modules inside the "Clone of flow name" folder. They keep the same names as their originals.

• If the cloned flow references any requests, they appear as a collection named "[Flow] Collection for flow name" in the destination workspace.
