Clipboard Pinning lets you keep specific items (like text or images) pinned in your clipboard history, ensuring they remain accessible even as new items are copied. Here’s how to do it:

Enable Clipboard History

– Go to Settings > System > Clipboard and toggle on Clipboard history.

Pin Items

– Press Win + V to open the Clipboard, then click the pin icon / select the ‘Pin’ option (from the 3 dots menu) next to items you want to keep permanently.

– This feature is very handy for phrases, links, or information you often reuse, saving you from repeatedly re-copying items.

If you frequently copy and paste various items, Windows Clipboard History is an invaluable tool that saves multiple clipboard items for later use, allowing you to access a history of copied text, images, or files. Here’s how to use it:

– Press Win + V to open the clipboard history panel. If it’s your first time using it, you may need to enable Clipboard History by clicking the ‘Turn on’ button that appears in the panel / type ‘Clipboard Settings’ into the start menu and toggle the ‘Clipboard history’ switch to ‘on’.

– Once enabled, each item you copy will be saved in the clipboard history, and you can access and paste older items by pressing Win + V and clicking on the item you want to use.
