The clipboard, often known as the pasteboard, is a temporary storage place in the memory of a computer, phone, or tablet for cut or copied text or other data. It is possible to copy and paste data from the clipboard. Until you cut or copy something else, or log off of the computer, the information on the clipboard is saved.
A user might, for example, copy and paste content from a word processor into an e-mail message. When a user pastes many times from the clipboard, the same information is pasted each time. The new data replaces the old data in the clipboard when the user copies something else.
