Here are four ways to get the most out of 24 Channels’ Windows clipboard, which you should use in your daily work with documents or the internet.

Adding elements without formatting

When you copy text to the clipboard, Windows preserves its original formatting; This can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in the document. Fortunately, Windows allows users to add text without this formatting, making it easier to maintain a consistent appearance.

To enable this feature, first enable Clipboard History. Then open the clipboard with Win + V, find the text you want, click on the three-dot menu and select Paste as Text. This feature is especially useful when compiling information from multiple sources and provides a consistent view in notes or reports.

Pin frequently used clipboard items

One of the most useful features of the Windows Clipboard is the ability to pin frequently used items for quick access. This is especially useful for content you add frequently, such as URLs, contact information, or specific pieces of text.

To pin an item, copy it to the clipboard, open Clipboard History by pressing Win + V, and click the pin icon in the lower-right corner of the entry. This ensures that pinned items remain saved even if you clear your clipboard history or restart your computer.

Sync clipboard history across devices

For users working on multiple devices, Windows 10 and 11 offer a clipboard synchronization feature that provides easy access to copied content on any connected device. This feature allows you to copy from one device and paste to another without the need for additional tools.

To enable this feature, go to Settings > System > Clipboard and enable Clipboard History on all devices. By default, Windows syncs all copied items across all connected devices.

For more control, you can set it to sync only manually selected items. If you are using an Android phone, download Microsoft SwiftKey AI Keyboard to access the synced clipboard on your mobile phone.

Regularly clear the clipboard from unnecessary items

Although the Windows Clipboard can accommodate up to 25 objects, saving only the objects you need helps you manage space and keep it accessible. You can delete items one by one by clicking the three-dot menu and selecting the trash can icon, or use the Clear All button to clear the entire clipboard history and keep only the pinned items.

These simple tips can make your job more efficient because instead of a series of repetitive actions, you now only need a few clicks to get the job done. Additionally, with the right configuration, the shared dashboard can be used on multiple devices; This is especially useful if you are working with text or images.
