How to Use Version Control in Postman

Use this interactive demo to learn how to manage version control workflows in Postman.

Quick summary

Version control in Postman lets teams fork collections, create pull requests, and merge changes in a structured, collaborative workflow. Using the built-in Changelog and Pull Request tabs, developers can track every modification made to a collection or environment without leaving the Postman workspace.


Steps

  1. Navigate to Postman's main workspace and click Fork to create a separate copy of the collection or environment in another workspace.
  2. Tap the More Options button at the top-right corner to access additional version control tools.
  3. Choose Create Pull Request to propose and submit changes to the collection for review.
  4. Once changes are approved, tap Merge Changes to apply the modifications to the parent collection.
  5. Click the Pull Request tab to monitor and track all active pull requests under the selected collection or environment.
  6. Tap the Changelog tab to view a full history of all changes made to the collection or environment.

📌 Why this matters

Version control in Postman enables API development teams to collaborate safely by isolating changes through forks, reviewing updates via pull requests, and merging only approved modifications into the parent collection. This structured workflow reduces the risk of breaking shared API collections and gives teams full visibility into every change through built-in pull request tracking and a detailed changelog. For teams managing multiple environments or large API suites, Postman's version control features bring software development best practices directly into the API testing workflow.
