Document WebSocket requests

Postman automatically generates documentation for each of your requests. The documentation includes the request's URL, parameters, settings, and any saved messages. You can also add a description to help users understand how to use the request.

To view and edit documentation for a WebSocket request, do the following:

  1. Open the request.
  2. Select Docs icon Documentation in the right sidebar.
  3. Select Add request description.
  4. Write your content using Postman's built-in editing tools. Your documentation automatically saves. If you need to make changes, you can edit the description.

In your collection, you can also add a description to the overview or a folder. First select the collection or folder in the sidebar, then select Add collection description or Add folder description.
