Sessions FAQ

Sessions in Postman provide a mechanism for managing variable values locally, allowing users to work with private data such as login credentials without affecting shared team environments. This feature is particularly beneficial in team workspaces, where members can maintain their own copies of variables, referred to as CURRENT VALUES, without overwriting the shared INITIAL VALUES. Previously, any changes made by one team member would sync across all users, potentially causing conflicts. With sessions, individuals can update their session values locally and decide if and when to sync these changes to the cloud, thus enhancing collaboration and privacy. To use sessions effectively, it's recommended to set placeholder text for variables intended for team override and utilize the Quick look icon to manage session variables easily. Sessions allow team members like Chakrit and Chris to input their personal credentials into a shared collection without altering the placeholders, ensuring seamless collaboration without data conflicts. Users can reset local changes to initial values or persist session variables across the entire workspace to maintain consistency.
