You can save your WebSocket requests to a collection. This enables you to reuse requests, share them with other team members, and add documentation to the collection of requests.

<Info class="iconless-callout">
  You can also save your WebSocket request *responses* as [examples](/docs/sending-requests/response-data/examples/) to illustrate different use cases, serve as test data, and more.
</Info>

To save a new request, do the following:

1. Click <img alt="Save icon" src="https://assets.postman.com/postman-docs/aether-icons/action-save-stroke.svg#icon" width="16px" /> **Save** in the request tab.
2. Under **Save to**, select a collection, or click **New Collection**.

   <Info class="iconless-callout">
     There are limitations to WebSocket requests in collections. Keep reading for more information.
   </Info>
3. If you're creating a new collection, enter a name and click **Create**.
4. Click **Save**.

Postman displays your collection and saved request in **Collections** in the sidebar.

Because WebSocket requests have different features than HTTP requests, adding them to a collection puts the collection in a beta state with certain limitations.

When in this state, a collection can contain WebSocket or gRPC requests. It can't contain HTTP requests. Some features related to collections aren't supported, such as collaboration, version control, or scripting.
