To create a newcollection, in this example, you’ll start by creating a new request first. You can create a new request from the sidebar in Postman.

To create a collection and save a request in the new collection, do the following:

1. If you haven’t already,install the Postman desktop app andsign in to Postman.

2. ClickNew > HTTP.

   

3. Enter a request in the request builder and clickSave.

4. ClickNew Collection. Name the request and collection.

   

5. ClickSave to add the request to the collection.

After you save the request, your new collection and the request are listed underCollections in the sidebar.

Every request you send in Postman appears under theHistory tab of the sidebar. On a small scale, reusing requests through the history section is convenient. As your Postman usage grows, it can be time-consuming to find a particular request in your history. Instead of scrolling through your history section, you can save all your requests in a collection for easier access.
