Make a breakpoint#

Name the breakpoint, set the conditions that trigger it, choose its pause point, and save it from the editor.

To create a breakpoint, select the + button in the Breakpoints sidebar. The breakpoint editor opens in the right pane.

A new breakpoint form with information, a URL-based condition, and an options section underneath

What the breakpoint editor holds#

  • Information: the breakpoint's name. Pick a name that explains when the breakpoint fires, for example Login API calls or Checkout failures. The sidebar shows this name, and each paused request carries it as a label.
  • Conditions: the conditions that decide which requests trigger the breakpoint.
  • Options: the pause point and the Enabled toggle.

Save the breakpoint#

The footer at the bottom shows Ready to save breakpoint when the form has a name and at least one condition with a value. Otherwise it shows Name and value are required. The Create button (or Update when you edit) at the top right becomes active when the footer shows ready.

Cancel a new breakpoint#

The Cancel button next to Create discards the in-progress breakpoint and clears the editor.
