Superpowered Sidebar, AWS Auth, and Postman Environment Import

2025.7.0…2025.7.2

Table of Contents

If you found Yaak during the recent Postman outage, hello! πŸ‘‹

A bunch of you asked to be able to import Postman environments, so you can now do that in this release.

Along with that, there’s a brand-new multi-select sidebar, TTL for request chaining, AWS v4 authentication, and a bunch more goodies. 🎁


✨ All new multi-select sidebar

It looks mostly the same, but under the hood it’s rebuilt from scratch to support multi-select for re-ordering and context menu actions. You can also now drag items into closed folders (finally πŸŽ‰).

Closes Multi-select (batch delete)


πŸ“¬ Import Postman environments

You can now import Postman environments into your currently active Yaak workspace.

Closes Import Postman environments


πŸ“Ό Drop files onto any file input

You can now drag-n-drop files into any “Select File” input within Yaak, so you don’t have to go hunting for files in the file explorer.

πŸ”„ Add expiry to chained requests

Request Chaining now supports a new “When Expired” behavior that allows you to resend the dependent request when the response is older than n seconds.

πŸ” AWS Signature v4 Authentication

It’s now possible to use AWS Signature v4 Authentication for any request, for usage with APIs like S3.
