Learn more. ## Keep your team up to date with version control Easily manage multiple versions of your API, speed up development time, and maintain a single source of truth. [What is Postman?](/product/) --- ## Forking and merging Build APIs faster by working in parallel. - ##### Shorten development time Close gaps in development and speed up development time by working simultaneously on different forks of same collection. - ##### View the diff to resolve conflicts View a summary of differences between a fork and its parent to resolve conflicts when conflicting changes are made to the same request, folder, or example at the same time. - ##### Maintain a single source of truth Easily merge changes to a parent collection in order to maintain a single source of truth across your team or organization. --- ## Revision history Gain visibility into your team's progress. - ##### Easily track revisions Create and track revisions made on a collection by you or anyone on your team by viewing the changelog. - ##### Restore previous versions Rollback changes you didn't intend by restoring a previous version of the collection using snapshots. ##### Review user activity View a summary of your team activity or an individual's activity on the Postman Dashboard. Or dive deeper with team-level reports. --- ## Version tagging Maintain multiple versions of your APIs, collections, mocks, and monitors. - ##### Iterate faster Work on multiple versions of your API elements in parallel so you can iterate on elements like your mocks, monitors, and tests faster. - ##### Track version-specific elements Maintain versioning of your collections with a corresponding API version with version tags. Tag a collection to link it to a specific API version. - ##### Stay in sync Easily manage changes across all API elements with version tags. Just create a new API version and Postman will tell you exactly what elements need to be updated to stay in sync with the new version. --- ## Use cases Discover how Postman enables API-first development, automated testing, and developer onboarding. ### API-first development Release reliable services by building your API before deploying code.
