Use this interactive demo to learn how to create a forked copy of a Postman collection in your workspace.

Quick summary

Forking a Postman collection lets you create an independent copy you can modify without affecting the original. This step-by-step guide shows how to fork a collection directly from your Postman workspace in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. In Postman's main workspace, navigate to the left-side panel and click Collections.
  2. Browse the list and select the specific collection you want to fork.
  3. Click the Fork button to proceed.
  4. Enter a unique fork label in the input field, then select your preferred workspace and environment from their respective menus.
  5. Click Fork Collection to confirm.
  6. The selected Postman collection is now forked and available instantly in your workspace.

📌 Why this matters

Forking a collection in Postman allows developers and API teams to create isolated, editable copies of shared collections without disrupting the original source. This is essential for parallel development, safe experimentation, and collaboration across multiple workspaces. Teams can fork collections into any environment, making it easy to test changes independently before merging updates. Postman's fork workflow accelerates API development cycles while keeping shared collections clean and version-controlled.
