Sync your changes across devices

Your changes are automatically synced to Postman Cloud across all devices that are linked to your account, including edits, updates, additions, or deletions. If you’re signed in to Postman and have an internet connection, your changes sync. If Postman doesn’t detect an internet connection, your client displays an offline warning and your data doesn’t sync.

• When you sign out, Postman removes your synced data from your local storage.
• When you sign back in, Postman restores your data from the cloud.
• When you reload, Postman automatically retrieves the most recent version of your data.

Up to three devices signed in to your Postman account simultaneously.

Understanding sync states

By default, a new Postman account uses Postman Cloud to manage changes. The Postman desktop client also supports Native Git, which allows local development and manual cloud syncing.

To sync a Postman resource from the cloud to your local file system, click Switch to Local on the footer, then select Pull from Postman Cloud. Select the workspace and resource you want to sync, then click Pull from Cloud.

To sync a local file system resource to the Postman Cloud, click Push to Postman Cloud, then select the resource you want to sync and click Push to Cloud.

You may experience sync conflicts between Postman and its servers when you work as part of a team. When this happens and you save an element, Postman will give you the option to either save and overwrite it or cancel the save action. For requests, you’ll also have the option to save your version as a new request.

Turn off sync

Some organizations have security guidelines that prevent team members from syncing data to the Postman cloud. In this situation, you can use the lightweight Postman API Client. All of your work in the lightweight API Client is stored locally and isn’t synced online with Postman.

You can delete data that’s already synced to Postman by deleting your account. Note that you must leave all Postman teams that you’re a member of prior to deleting your account.
