Privacy and verification
Clipboard variables and clipboard history are processed locally. Raw clipboard history is not uploaded as part of optional snippet synchronization. Because the current clipboard can contain sensitive information, verify the expanded result before sending it.
Clipboard variable versus clipboard history
The variable uses the current copied value inside a template. Clipboard history helps you find an earlier copied item.
