With the Postman VS Code extension, you can import collection and environments that you exported from Postman. You can also import and sync environment variables from your API project's `.env` files.

## Import data into the VS Code extension

You can import your collections and environments using the VS Code extension from files, folders, or a curl command.

## Import environment variables from your project

You can use the VS Code extension to import your `.env` files with environment variables from your API project into Postman. Each `.env` file is imported into Postman as an environment. Once your files are imported, you can sync changes made to your files, updating your environments in Postman.
