You are experiencing one of the following issues

You may be experiencing one of the following:

  • The left sidebar is collapsed and your collections are no longer visible.

  • You can’t see your collections list in your workspace.

What to expect

In Postman v12, panels in the left sidebar can be shown, hidden, or customized based on your workflow. This enables you to access relevant tools and information in one place, without switching contexts.

How to fix it

You can restore the left sidebar to bring your collections and other items back into view.

To do this, you can:

  • View the footer options in bottom-right corner of the app

  • Click the Toggle left sidebar icon to toggle the left sidebar back on.
