I can't seem to find the drop down for the currently selected Environment in the latest UI. Is the only way to change environments now in the massive hierarchical list on the left? This is not a very friendly UX.

#

Nevermind.. I had to reset my layout.. for some reason the UI was hiding this selector.

Hi @clear kelp 👋 . What do you mean by "sreset your layout"? The dropdown for selecting an active environment still exists at the top. navigation menu.

Yeah.. it was completely missing. I had a lot of tabs open (> 30) and the dropdown between the tab selector and the button for variables in request were right next to each other and the environment dropdown was missing. So I closed all of my open tabs and then hit reset layout.

Not sure what actually did the trick, but its back now.

The environment dropdown selector would have been in its minimised state (an icon), you can also resize the dropdown by dragging the left side and extending the size.

You can also open the switcher via the command palette, open the global search and then use the > to access the options.

I wish I would've taken a screenshot, there wasn't an icon either. But its there now. If it matters, it happened the last update I did to the desktop app where everything like collections, environments, etc. got moved into the large collapsible expander on the left.

#

I suspect now that I have it back, it won't get lost again 🙂

I got it to happen again... but now that I know its there.. it looks like just the icon is missing

Interesting - Are you able to determine the steps to reproduce the issue? Is there anything specific about your Workspace/setup/etc that might lead us to replicate this issue?

#

I'll try and replicate this from myside too. It looks like it's a Shared Workspace (Given the presence indicator), you have the right sidebar open and a full set of tabs open in the workbench.

Is the Postman app a certain size? Are you seeing any notable errors in the Dev Tools?

currently my screen is maximized and my monitor resolution is 3840x2560, windows 11 pro, 150% scale

#

I closed and reopened.. the environment showed for a brief moment, then all of my tabs loaded and it went away.
