## You are experiencing one of the following issues

I have moved from the Scratch Pad to the [lightweight API client](/docs/getting-started/basics/using-api-client/), and I can’t see my [requests](/docs/sending-requests/requests/).

* My requests were saved in a collection.
* My requests were sent but not saved in a collection.
* My requests were opened in tabs but not sent.

## What to expect

* The [lightweight API client](/docs/getting-started/basics/using-api-client/) doesn't have collections, but requests can be [exported as part of a collectio](#My-requests-were-saved-in-a-collection)n.

* If the request was sent in the Scratch Pad, the requests were saved in the **History**, which migrates when you move to the [lightweight API client.](/docs/getting-started/basics/using-api-client/)

* **Note:** All tabs that were opened in the Scratch Pad will be closed.

* If the request wasn’t sent in the Scratch Pad but only kept in open tabs, the requests won't be in the History when moving to the [lightweight API client](/docs/getting-started/basics/using-api-client/).

## Unblock yourself

### My requests were saved in a collection

Export your data from Settings > **Data** in the Lightweight API client.

* **Note:** To import them, [sign in to a Postman account](/docs/getting-started/first-steps/sign-up-for-postman/).

### My requests were sent but not saved in a collection

Select [**History**](/docs/getting-started/basics/navigating-postman/#history) in the sidebar.

* **Note:** If you had open tabs in the Scratch Pad, but the requests inside them weren't sent, they won't be saved in the History. These tabs don't persist with the migration to the Scratch Pad.
