Hello

All my collections lost due update to Version 11.17.1.  
How can I restore it? I tried to Settings → Data → Scratch Pad → Migrate Data  
but it doesn’t help. Seems like there are no backup or something there.

Maybe there are some collection for backup in file system on Mac?

In the top right of the app, when you click on your profile do you see an option to select a personal account or another team?

@danny-dainton thank you for your responses.

Solved this in the next way - you need to find your collection’s backups and import it to Postman.  
I found my collections here:

```auto
/Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/Postman/

```

3 hours of my life wasted for nothing. No more updates, ever again.  
I can’t remember the last time I hated an app more than I hate Postman right now.
