Where do my copied items go?

When you copy something, the information is stored temporarily in your computer’s clipboard until you paste it somewhere. When you paste the item, it is placed in the location you have designated. This can be onto the desktop, into a file, or onto the web.

Depending on the operating system you are using, you can locate your copied items in the clipboard. On Windows, you can find the clipboard in the top left corner of your taskbar, and on macOS, you can access it from the Edit menu of almost any application.

The clipboard is also handy for copying and pasting things between different applications or documents. For example, if you are creating a document or presentation, you can copy text from one application and paste it into another without having to retype it.

Additionally, you may occasionally need to copy large blocks of text and the clipboard makes this task easier.

It is important to note that the clipboard only stores copied items temporarily and they may be deleted after you quit the program or log off your computer. Therefore, if you want to store items permanently, you should remember to paste them into a file or another program.
