Postman - Interview Questions
What's the use of Workspaces in Postman?
Postman workspaces are nothing but collaboration areas or space for one or many people to work on the same collection or set of collections. It’s a way to logically separate the collections or requests from each other.
 
In other words, it is simply an abstraction in terms of logical separation of requests.

2 types of Workspaces are supported by Postman i.e. Team, and Personal.
 
1) Team Workspaces are created for collaborating with multiple people that are a part of the same team. Look at it from the perspective of a common shared repository in git, where anyone can pull the repository code and contribute.
 
Similarly, for all the people who are part of the team, the workspace gets shared and everyone can contribute. You can also invite new users to collaborate with your collection by sharing their email id and when someone joins or accepts that invite they will be able to collaborate with that collection.
 
2) Personal Workspaces are a way to logically separate collections (or projects) from one another. These are useful when you are working with multiple projects and you wish to separate the associated requests/collections from each other. then you can create separate workspaces for both the projects.
 
To create a new workspace (either team or personal), simply click the workspace icon and then click “Create New”.
 
Once the workspace properties window opens, select whether you want to create a personal or team workspace. For team workspace, you can choose to invite people with their email addresses by asking them to collaborate on the workspace.
