Sync your changes across devices

Postman automatically syncs changes across all devices that are linked to your account, including edits, updates, additions, or deletions. As long as you're signed in to Postman, and have a reliable internet connection, your data will 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.

You can have up to three devices signed in to your Postman account simultaneously, such as your work computer, personal computer, and phone.

Understanding sync states

Postman indicates the sync state of your workspace with the sync icon in the footer. Hover over the sync icon to see more information about your connection and sync status.

• Offline means that you aren't connected to the Postman servers. This may mean that your computer isn't connected to the internet.
• Online means that you're connected to the Postman servers and your work is either in the process of syncing or is already synced.
• Error means there was a syncing error while connecting to Postman. Hover over the sync state icon to see detailed information on the error.

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.
