Once you've selected your Environment and Collection files, hit the green Import button to complete the Import.

Once done, you will find your **Postman Environment Variables** in the **Explorer**. If you open up the variables, you can see your **API Request**is now using the imported variables.

Quality Modeller is Curiosity's flow-driven model-based tool which provides a range of accelerators and connectors for building flowcharts rapidly. Align all stakeholders to quality outcomes and create critical assets early, delivering superior software at speed.

The Explorer section of Quality Modeller is the main location for finding all your models, data sheets, scans and variables. This will be the main view you use in Modeller and where you create new models and edit existing ones.
