On Windows systems, everyone is familiar with using “Ctrl + C” to copy text or images, but you may just know that you should paste it onto the label as soon as possible after copying, otherwise it will be overwritten by the next copy. If you are a Windows 11 user, you don’t need to worry about this, because the system has a built-in clipboard history, can’t you use it? Then you have to learn this time!
How to enable and view clipboard history on Windows 11 for productivity
Windows 11’s built-in album history feature is actually super convenient. If you copy it once, it will be temporarily stored in the record. You can go back and copy the content at any time. There is no need to worry about forgetting to paste the wrong hand and copy something else to cover it up. In the past, especially when writing homework and reports, there were always long proper names or uncommon English words, and it was very convenient to find and copy them quickly.
Enable clipboard history on Windows 11
Before using the recording function, you need to activate it manually. The steps in the process are very simple:
- Open “Settings”, go to “System” tab, scroll down to find “Scrapbook”.
- After logging in, open the “Clipboard History” option. If you have multiple devices, we recommend that you also turn on “cross-device sync” below, so you can access the same content on different devices, then choose whether to sync automatically. Also, if you want to delete album records, do it from this page.
View and use clipboard history
Although you have already enabled this feature, I would like to remind everyone here that clipboard history in Windows 11 is limited to specific image copying applications, such as Microsoft Edge, built-in screenshot tool, etc. You can still select copy from function by right-clicking according to your personal habits, or use the keyboard shortcut keys “Ctrl + C” and “Ctrl + V” to copy and paste the text or selected image. The method for calling and accessing the album history is also very simple:
This feature is really handy, I can’t be the only one to know (?), Especially when I write articles about the conference, sometimes the manufacturers name a long list of products.This method will be used for quick access without repeated copying and will be more efficient with less effort!
