Then there will be two options appear under the option of Clipboard history across your devices. These are two different modes which are handled by the Clipboard about the text that you have copied.

• Automatically sync text that I copy: In this mode, anything you copy to the Clipboard will be detected and synced across devices automatically. If you are the only user, this is convenient for seamless work across different platforms or devices. Meanwhile, please take privacy and data sensitivity into consideration if you use this mode, as it syncs everything.

• Manually sync text that I copy: Contrary to automatic syncing, this mode requires you to open the Clipboard by pressing Windows key + V, click on the three dots button next to the item you want to share across devices and click Sync every time manually. Manual sync gives you control over what is shared across devices, which can be important for privacy or when working with sensitive information.
