Local View only shows Postman elements for the branch currently checked out. If the bottom-left branch reads main, your Deskly collection won't be in the sidebar yet — and you can't push what isn't loaded.

1. Open the Postman desktop app and switch to your [Your name] - Native Git workspace.

2. Confirm Local View is on and your deskly-api folder is still connected. The branch name shows in the bottom left.

3. If you're not on a feature/ branch that has your collection (usually feature/deskly-collection, feature/deskly-openapi, or feature/deskly-mock), open the Postman terminal and run:

   Copy

   git fetch origin
   git checkout feature/deskly-collection

   If you used a different feature/ branch name in a later module, checkout that one instead.

4. Confirm the bottom-left branch name updates.

5. In the left sidebar, expand Local Items → Collections — Deskly API should appear. Specs and mocks from earlier modules may also show under Specs and Mocks.

Troubleshooting

• checkout fails — run git branch -a and use the feature/ branch you pushed earlier.
• Collection still missing — re-run Part 1 Step 2, then git pull origin <your-feature-branch>.

Push your Local Items into the workspace Cloud View so anyone with access can open them without your local clone. The publish flow lives on the Local Changes tab — open it from the footer or from the left sidebar.

1. Stay in your [Your name] - Native Git workspace with Local View on.
2. Open Local Changes using either path:
   • In the footer, click the Push to Postman Cloud icon (cloud with an upward arrow), or
   • At the top of the left sidebar, click Push (same cloud-with-upward-arrow icon).
3. Either control opens the Local Changes tab in the left sidebar. Review the change list there — you may see Deskly API plus other items such as Globals, specs, or mocks. Keep Deskly API selected (and anything else you want consumers to see). Clear items you don't want to publish yet.
4. Click Push.
5. When the push finishes, switch to Cloud View using the control in the bottom left (or open the branch/cloud switcher and choose Postman Cloud).
6. In the left sidebar, open Items in Cloud (or the Cloud View collections list) and confirm Deskly API is present.
7. Back in LiftOff, click Validate. LiftOff reads the same cloud surface through the Postman API and checks that a collection named Deskly API exists in your [Your name] - Native Git workspace.

Expected outcome: Deskly API appears in Cloud View for this workspace — the same collection you built in Local View, now available without the Git folder — and LiftOff confirms it.

Troubleshooting

• Push / Push to Postman Cloud icon missing — confirm a folder is connected and you're in Local View, not already in Cloud View.
• Empty change list — nothing differs from the cloud yet, or Local View isn't on the branch that has your files; revisit Part 2 Step 1.
• Collection only in Local View — the push didn't complete or that item was unchecked; push again with Deskly API selected.
• Validation fails — wait a moment after Push, confirm you're looking at Cloud View for the [Your name] - Native Git workspace, then try Validate again.
