How to see the items in a currently opened folder?

🙋 Help
1

Looked into this but was unable to find anything. This used to be a feature in the older Postman versions, but I can’t find a setting to turn it on back now.

Take the following API collection structure:

-- Operations
   `-- Parameters      <-- Currently opened in Postman
       |-- GET API 1
       |-- GET API 2
       `-- GET API 3

Earlier I could easily see the 3 requests on the right side.
Now I have to use the tree style navigator on the left which I find considerably slow to use because sometimes it has MANY requests in inner folders which are expanded.

Basically I just want to be able to view the current children of a folder, and not any of THEIR children.

Screenshot attached of how it used to be like.

Hi @flight-astronaut-630. Welcome to the Postman Community :postman_logo:.

I will recommend you make a feature request here.

What I have described is not a new feature, but something I explicitly remember using in Postman a couple of years ago.

Is there no setting that brings back this old view?

Which version was this? A lot of things have changed in the UI over the last couple of years including a redesign in version 8. :sweat_smile:

There isn’t a setting in the UI to do what you would like to do so I would recommend raising this as a feature request, as @gbadebo-bello mentioned.
