select setting \> Scratch pad \> Import a collection \> click on … View more Click on create documentation . Postman pops for sign in or new user. Login never asks for username or password. Is this happens to me or a bug Note: If user not allowed to create documentation or create monitor or mock server in Scratch pad do we need a option there? ---

no. It prompts me for sign in and no ask for username or pass. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/6/d/6d87a7d5c1a62157c93a4fe168f6a8eab3407c81.png) Might be Scratch pad used offline. postman doesnt allow to switch back. ---

Scratch pad is for offline/local use. If you have an account, then you can switch between the Scratch pad and the normal workspaces view. ---
