Every day, we press copy and paste, often multiple times in a row. That copied information often needs to be reused, but the default copy/paste function can’t store anything.
Paste is a tool that can store and remember what you have copied. Whenever you need those old clips again, it’s easy to find and reuse them. This can make your workflow more robust and improve your productivity.
