Quick summary

A Postman workspace is a shared environment where teams organize and collaborate on API collections, requests, and tests. This guide walks you through every step to create a workspace in Postman, from the Workspaces menu to setting visibility and hitting Create.

Steps

Personalise your Postman account to get started with the onboarding setup.
On the header bar, locate and click on the Workspaces dropdown menu.
Click Create Workspace from the dropdown to open the workspace creation flow.
Select a blank workspace or choose one of Postman's ready-made templates for your use case.
Choose the workspace visibility setting — personal, team, or public — to control access.
Hit the Create button to finalise and activate your new workspace.
Your new workspace is now created and active — ready for collaborating on APIs.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a Postman workspace is the foundational step for any team managing APIs collaboratively. Workspaces let developers and QA engineers organize collections, share environments, and control access through visibility settings — all in one place. Setting up the right workspace structure from the start reduces context-switching and accelerates API development cycles. Whether you are building a personal sandbox or a team-wide API hub, knowing how to create and configure a Postman workspace is an essential skill for modern API workflows.
