what is clipboard in computer

A clipboard is a temporary storage area for data that the user wants to copy from one place to another. It is a location on a computer, phone, or tablet memory that stores cut or copied text or other data. Once something is stored in the clipboard, it can be pasted to a new location as much as needed. The clipboard holds its information until you cut or copy something else or log out of the computer. The latest clipboard, designed for Windows 10 and 11, is cloud-based and can hold up to 25 pieces of text or images for later use. Users can access these items on the same PC or a different one, so they can paste those same items into another application or program. The clipboard history can be accessed in Windows 10 and 11 by pressing Windows logo key + V. From the clipboard history, users can paste and pin frequently used items by choosing an individual item from the clipboard menu. Pinning an item keeps it from being removed from the clipboard history to make room for new items.
