Lifecycle Duplicate Delete

Collection lifecycle controls how safely you move from draft setup to live usage.

Draft and publish

  • New collections start in draft.
  • Publish only after required proxies are published.
  • Unpublish if you need to stop exposure quickly.

Duplicate

Use Duplicate when creating a variation of an existing API surface:

  1. Duplicate the source collection.
  2. Rename and adjust base path if needed.
  3. Review credentials, headers, and proxy mappings.
  4. Publish when ready.

Delete

Deleting a collection removes the collection and its proxies.

Before delete:

  • Confirm no active client assignment depends on it.
  • Export JSON as a rollback snapshot.
  • Coordinate with consumer teams.
