Summary

Postman enables users to treat requests as reusable components, enhancing efficiency by eliminating duplication and reducing maintenance. Users can reuse requests either through the UI for visual workflows or via scripts for more dynamic control, depending on their needs. In the UI, requests can be linked to different collections, allowing updates to reflect automatically across all linked instances, which is useful for regression and scenario collections, as well as team-specific variants. In scripting, the `pm.execution.runRequest()` method supports dynamic, programmatic reuse of requests, facilitating tasks like authentication token generation and response data extraction without creating dependencies between collections. This dual approach allows for a modular API toolkit, transforming collections into interconnected, maintainable resources.
