----------------

The Postman Desktop apps v7 and v8 are deprecated.

* **Note:** Keeping Postman updated with the  [latest version](https://www.postman.com/downloads/)  allows you to have the latest security features and fixes as soon as they’re available.

## What will happen to my data when updating to v10?

If your data is [synced](https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/launching_postman/syncing/) to Postman, it'll move smoothly once you have updated the app.

* **Note:** If you don’t know whether or not your work is synced, go to this [page](https://go.postman.co/team/elements?type=collection) to view all your collections and check if they all appear. You should also review your  [activity feed](https://go.postman.co/me/activity)  to verify that all recent changes have been captured.

If you're [using Postman locally](/help/faqs/postman-configuration/can-i-use-postman-locally) without signing in to a Postman account, [export your data](/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting/importing-and-exporting-overview/#exporting-postman-data) before updating to v11. Once you have updated the app, [import your data](/docs/getting-started/importing-and-exporting/importing-and-exporting-overview/#importing-data-into-postman) into the Postman Desktop app.

## Does the deprecation of Postman Desktop app v7 mean I will stop having access to it?

The version may work, but we encourage you to transition to the [latest Postman version.](https://www.postman.com/downloads/) Continued reliance on deprecated elements may lead to reduced functionality or eventual removal in future updates.

* **Note:** If someone in your Postman team has upgraded to v11 and you haven't, your data will no longer be synced to Postman servers. The Browse mode will show you the error *Looks like you’re offline*. However, you will still be able to access the app offline using the Build mode\*\*.\*\*
