Requests Section
The Requestssection in Fiddler Everywhere enables you to organize and modify existing requests, which are listed in it. The section is part of a collapsible panel that you can hide/show to optimize your working space.
For more information about building and sending HTTP and HTTPS requests, refer to the article on the Composer tab.
When you save a request with the Composer tab, the request is added to a collection in the Requests list, which provides options for saving, modifying, executing, and sharing previously composed requests.
The Requests list is organized into collections. Each collection is a folder on the root level of the Requests list. A collection can contain saved requests and other subfolders. To reload or start working on the saved requests, expand a collection, and double-click a selected request. To rename or delete a collection, or make a new folder, use the context menu options.
Requests Menu
The Requests menu displays the following buttons:
-
—Opens a new Composer tab.
- Shared Collections—Controls who has access to the shared collections.
- Create New Collection—Creates a new collection folder.
Collection Menu
The Collection menu displays options for managing your currently selected requests collection (folder).
- Create New Collection—Creates a new collection folder within the selected collection.
- Manage Shared Collection—Lists and manages users with access to the collection.
- Share Collection—Opens the sharing prompt and provide users with shared access rights.
- Delete—Deletes the selected collection completely. This action will also remove the collection for everyone with whom you've shared the collection.
Sharing a Collection
To share a collection, click the Share icon. Then, enter the email addresses of the users in the Share Collection window.
- You can share a collection only if you are the collection owner.

Deleting a Collection
To remove a selected collection or a specific request from the Requests list:
- Click the delete icon of the folder.
- Click Delete in the prompt window to confirm the deletion.
You can also delete a specific sub-folder or a particular request by using the delete option for the selected entry.
