Steps to Clone and Edit the Postman Documentation

  1. Open the Postman App: If you don’t have Postman installed, download and install it from the official site: Postman Download.

  2. Import the Collection from the Documentation:

    • Open the link you provided: Postman Documentation.
    • In the documentation, find the "Run in Postman" button or the "Import" button. Typically, you'll see a "Run in Postman" button at the top of the documentation page. Clicking on it will allow you to import the collection into your Postman workspace.
    • Alternatively, copy the documentation link or the collection link if available.
  3. Import the Collection in Postman:

    • In the Postman app, go to the top left corner and click on the "Import" button.
    • In the pop-up window, select the "Link" tab.
    • Paste the link to the collection (the one you copied from the documentation) and click "Continue".
    • After reviewing the summary, click "Import".
  4. Edit the Collection:

    • Once the collection is imported, you'll see it in the "Collections" tab in the left-hand pane.
    • Click on the imported collection, and you can now start editing any request within the collection:
      • Edit the request URLs.
      • Change request methods (GET, POST, etc.).
      • Modify request headers, parameters, or body content.
  5. Edit Environment (Optional):

    • If the documentation provides environment variables, you can configure them in Postman:
      • Click the "Environment" tab (in the bottom-left or in the "Manage Environments" settings).
      • Add or edit any environment variables the collection depends on (e.g., {{base_url}}, {{token}}).
  6. Save and Share:

    • After making the necessary changes, you can save the collection.
    • If you want to create your own documentation, go to the "..." (three dots) next to the collection, and select "Share Collection".
    • Choose "View in web" and generate new documentation for your customized collection.

Additional Tip: Forking a Collection

If the collection owner allows public forking:

  • On the documentation page, look for a "Fork" option (available under some public collections).
  • Click "Fork Collection".
  • Choose a workspace where you'd like to fork the collection.
  • Once forked, it will appear in your Postman workspace, and you can edit it as needed.
