Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/1525

create two api - "Edit user info" and "Delete user";
refesh page;
choice "Delete user" api and change something;
save use Ctrl + S, show me a default panel;
I'm trance and choice "Edit user info" and save.
congratulation! now, I has two "Delete user".... 😂

I think the tool has good, but in there, the feature puzzled me, and I want to work something, I think:

like Postman, in user save api, show the api panel -- if user want to "save as...", user can choice self need.
oher choice: if he want replace a old api, tool should show a confirm panel.

If has other suggestion, please tell me. and I want to write the feature, Can I?

When saving a request if you want to replace / overwrite an existing one, you can choose the previous request in save modal. Let me which workflow works best for you. I didn't quite get what you meant by which operation that need to be corrected.

I try to refresh or open page, the request hold in page, but not has "previous request" in save panel.
Now, I must choice collection、choice folder、choice request.....so hard, don't you think?

So, I suggest autoload previous request, When user need "Save as...", he/she manually choice "/"

In my work, "update request" is frequent, and "new request" is less.

Or add config? user can choice any mode.

Ps: if can't refresh(F5 press), the save panel can autoload previous request, I know it.

Thanks for your explanation. Now it makes sense. Flow of overwriting a request is somewhat confusing righ now. We're actually working on a parallel flow where you'll have a UI similar to sidebar Collections. And it'll be easy to choose a previous request in a glance.

Kindly be patient, hoping to get a working prototype by end of next week. I'll let you know when it's up.

With the release of v2 - we've introduced "Save" and "Save as" features.

You can now restore and save [ CtrlS ] updates to a request in collection.
Click on the "save drop-down" to save as [ CtrlShiftS ] another new request in collections.
