How to Duplicate Collections in Postman

Use this interactive demo to learn how to copy a Postman collection in just a few clicks.

Quick summary

Duplicating a collection in Postman lets you create an independent copy of any API collection without modifying the original. Open the More Actions menu on any collection, select Duplicate, rename the copy, and start editing it freely.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the workspace containing the collection you want to duplicate.
  2. Find the collection in the Collections tab in the left sidebar.
  3. Hover over the collection name and click the More Actions button (three dots).
  4. Scroll down to find the Duplicate option in the menu.
  5. Select Duplicate from the dropdown menu.
  6. By default, Postman will suggest the original collection name with "Copy" appended to it.
  7. Click on the name field to edit it and enter your desired name.
  8. You can now modify the duplicate freely without affecting the original collection.

📌 Why this matters

Duplicating a Postman collection is essential for API teams who need to test variations, create environment-specific copies, or onboard new projects without risking changes to a working collection. This workflow saves time by preserving all requests, headers, and scripts from the original, giving developers a reliable starting point. Teams using Postman for API development and QA can use collection duplication to maintain clean version control and support parallel workstreams without manual rebuilding.
