If you use Windows 10, you have some useful features. When you copy, paste, or cut things, you might accidentally lose something important from your clipboard.
But don’t worry. You can manage your clipboard history easily. You can even sync it with the cloud to access your copied items on other devices through your Microsoft account. Here’s how to turn it on, use it, and sync it with the cloud!
How to Manage Clipboard History in Windows 10
1: Open the clipboard tab with the “Windows + V” command. In the opened window, click on “Activate”.
2: Whenever you want to access the history, use the command “Windows + V,” then you can view all items saved in the clipboard, such as text, links, and images. To copy an element, click on it.
3: With the item copied, you can paste the command “Ctrl + V” where it is most convenient.
4: Back to the history tab, locate an item, click on the “Three dots” icon, and, in the opened menu, select “Delete,” “Fix,” or “Clear all.” The history holds up to 25 items and is cleared each time you restart your PC, except for items you choose to pin. Reaching the limit, older elements will be deleted.
