From Insomnia

Nouto imports Insomnia data exported in the Insomnia v4 format, as JSON or YAML. Each Insomnia workspace becomes a Nouto collection, and each request group becomes a folder.

Nouto can’t read the Insomnia v5 YAML format. If your Insomnia version offers more than one export format, choose the v4 format.
