Saving Traffic in Fiddler Everywhere
With Fiddler Everywhere, you can capture and generate data like HTTPS sessions, composed API requests, and rules. It's only natural that the application provides user interface options to save, organize and share the information so it can be reused later. This article covers the saving capabilities of Fiddler Everywhere as follows:
Saving session's snapshots—Options to save single or multiple captured HTTPS sessions as local/cloud snapshots in the save Sessions tree.
Saving API requests collections—Options to save single or multiple composed API requests as local/cloud collections in the Requests list.
Saving rules—Options to save single or multiple rules within the Rules tab.
The save options in Fiddler Everywhere allow you to use local and cloud save, organize your traffic snapshots in collections, and collaborate easily with a few clicks. It is important to note that Fiddler Everywhere also provides straightforward export/import options, which are not interconnected with the application user interface.
Saving Session's Snapshots
The save Sessions tree in Fiddler Everywhere lets you store snapshots of previously captured traffic. The section is part of a collapsible panel that you can hide/show to optimize your working space.
Save session snapshots to the save Sessions tree as follows:
-
Use the Save option from the more option within the Live Traffic grid toolbar.
OR
-
Use the Save option from the Live Traffic grid context menu
Working with Saved Snapshots
You can select, inspect, modify, and share snapshots of previously saved session snapshots with collaborators. The snapshots can be saved locally or in the cloud. You can apply the following actions to a saved session snapshot:
Single-click to select a session snapshot from the save Sessions tree.
Double-click to open a saved session snapshot from the save Sessions tree in a new tab. Only users with the password can open the session entry for encrypted snapshots.
Right-click to load the context menu of a selected session snapshot. The context menu provides multiple options for managing, exporting, and modifying the saved session entry.
Set a password to encrypt and protect your snapshot. The context menu provides options for setting, changing, and removing passwords for the saved session snapshot.

Click the Save button in the top-right corner of the Composer.
Input the request name, select the destination collection, and confirm through the Save button .
