thanks. another great video. just one humble suggestion. when you start a new video in a series, just start from the same window at the very end of the last video. otherwise, when in the new video some codes are already written, it may get confusing.

local variable defined at collection level is same as collection variable? My understanding is local variable defined at collection level is also available for all the requests in that collection

[@SaravananSeenivasan]

yes if you define local variable at the collection level, yes you can use for all the request in collection since the pre-req is going to run for every request

[@najaybabu]

@@SaravananSeenivasan then how the collection variable is different from local variable defined at the collection level?

[@SaravananSeenivasan]

in collection where are you defined local variables ?

[@najaybabu]

@@SaravananSeenivasan pre-request tab at collection level

[@SaravananSeenivasan]

@najaybabu pre-req is for some pre-conditions purpose if you are going to have all as local variable in pre-req its going to run for every request local variable scope or recommendations is to use as request level
