2. What is clipboard history?

It is a set of all data (multiple clips) that you copied to the clipboard: texts in various formats (plane text, rtf, html), images, file lists. We call each of these data bits a clip. So the clipboard history is a set of clips arranged chronologically.

3. Why do I need the clipboard history?

It is really convenient to have everything you copied earlier at hand. No, it is not just convenient - it is enormously convenient. You have to try it to feel all its power. At any moment you can get data you copied 10 minutes ago or yesterday. You can find and recover information lost long ago. And the most important thing is that it means practically instant access to the recently copied clips - you can work faster.

4. I installed the clipboard manager, but it shows only the last copied clip. How do I access data I copied earlier?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to access data that you copied before you installed Clipdiary. Data in the clipboard is overwritten each time you copy anything. It is exactly the drawback that the clipboard history manager is designed to fix.
