# How to Use Clipboard History in Windows

Clipboard history saves multiple things you copy, not just the last one.

### Turn on Clipboard history

1. Press **Win + V**.
2. Click **Turn on**.

That’s it. You only need to do this once per PC.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don’t see a “Turn on” button, it’s already enabled.
{% endhint %}

### Use Clipboard history

1. Copy text or images like normal.  `Ctrl + C`, right-click **Copy**, etc.
2. Press **Win + V**.
3. Click an item to paste it.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/ES9dbMrjFvjTquraFGSe" alt="" width="333"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

#### Power tips

* Use your arrow keys to select an item.
* Press **Enter** to paste the selected item.
* Click the **pin** icon to keep an item.  Pinned items stay, even after reboots.

### Clear your clipboard history (optional)

1. Press **Win + V**.
2. Select **Clear all**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Clearing the list usually won’t remove pinned items. Unpin first if you want them gone.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.goodhearttech.org/microsoft/windows-guides/how-to-use-clipboard-history-in-windows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
