Hey all 👋

We announced on our [blog](https://blog.postman.com/announcing-new-lightweight-postman-api-client/), the sunsetting of Scratchpad and introduced the new Lightweight API Client.

After signing in, you can follow the same process here to migrate your Scratchpad data into a Workspace.

> [@Collections moved after update 10.18.x](https://community.postman.com/t/collections-moved-after-update-10-18-x/51953/8):
>
> Have you tried to either to Migrate the data from Scratchpad into a Workspace or used the Export option? These can be accessed via the Settings \> Data section. In order to Import the data into Postman, you’re going to need to Sign In.

Any further information, please email us on [migrate@postman.com](mailto:migrate@postman.com).
