left hand panels:

 "Collections" are where you organize your APIs into groups.


 "APIs" show you all the APIs that you're working with.
 "Environments" is where you can group your variables according to
the environment you want to run them in. Whether that's Prod,
Dev, QA, etc.
 "Mock Servers" is where you go if you want to look at anything
created to mock endpoints.
 "Monitors" you set up will be accessible here.

Chapter 2 - Creating and Running Mocks in


Postman
three main ways MOCKs can be created in Postman:

 You can create a mock server that's based on a specification file.


This is a really great option if you have the right documentation at
hand, which details the API.
 You can create a mock server from scratch, adding in requests and
telling Postman what response data to return.
 You can add a mock server to an existing Postman collection.
If you have multiple examples, how does Postman know what example to
return?

Chapter 3 - Monitors in Postman


Monitors help us to understand what's going on with our APIs and really
quickly respond to issues if the performance or health of our APIs isn't as it
should be.

Chapter 4 - Postman Workspaces
you can use Postman in a more collaborative way to share and work with -
not only your own APIs - but other people's APIs too.

 you can create as many team workspaces and send as many


requests as you like.
 with the Postman Public Workspace Network, and this was
introduced at the end of 2020, so it's quite a recent thing.
we can use version control practices in Postman, such as merging and pull
requests.

Chapter 5 - Newman Runner


Newman, Postman's command line runner which we can use to generate
automated test runs.
