Rename and remove items#

Every row in the Collections tree carries a three-dot menu for acting on it. Hover over a collection, folder, request, or flow, then click the button that appears at the right of the row. The menu changes with the kind of node, so a collection offers more than a single request does.

Menu on a collection#

A collection has the fullest menu.

Action	What it does
Rename	Opens a popover with the current name. Edit it and click Rename.
Add folder	Opens a popover and adds the folder to this collection.
Add request	Opens a popover for a name, then adds a new request and opens it in a tab.
Add flow	Opens a popover for a name, then adds a new flow and opens it in a flow tab.
Edit auth	Sets the auth this collection passes down to its contents.
Export	Saves the collection to a file.
Link to folder	Mirrors the collection to a folder on disk. Reads Unlink folder while linked.
Open mock server	Opens a mock server tab for this collection.
Delete	Confirms, then removes the collection and everything in it.

Edit auth feeds the auth inheritance that requests below it can pick up. Export produces a file you can share or re-import; see Exporting. For Link to folder, see Linking to a folder. For Open mock server, see the Mock server overview.

Menu on a folder#

A folder offers Rename, Add folder, Add request, Edit auth, and Delete. They behave as they do on a collection, but they apply only to the folder. Edit auth sets what the folder passes down to the requests inside it.

Menu on a request or flow#

A request or flow offers Rename and Delete. Rename on an open request also updates its tab name. Rename on a flow updates the tab name and the name on the canvas. Delete removes the item and closes its tab if it is open. Delete on a flow also discards the running copy.

Deletes are confirmed but final#

Every Delete opens a confirmation that names the item. There is no undo. Once you confirm, the item is gone.
