Is your feature request related to a problem? No

I know the base URL can be changed by clicking edit, but it's not obvious. I want to request that users can change the base URL globally or make the highlighted area a drop down.
During testing, the main issue that came up was people didn't understand they could change the URL and kept asking how to change it.

Some options for the plugin:

  • Add it as a menu item
  • Add it to the introduction
  • Make it into a dropdown on each endpoint (preferred since it takes up a lot of real-estate versus the edit for the try it now.)
  • Set it globally at the introduction (Also preferred. See image above for example).
