1 - What is Clipboard for iOS?
When typing with your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard for iOS, you have the option to copy text and save it for later use. This could be for a quick copy/paste job or something longer-form like an email or social media update.
The Clipboard can store a maximum of 30 clips. Each clip is limited to 1,000 characters in length.
You can access the Clipboard from the icon on Toolbar, or by opening the Microsoft SwiftKey app and navigating to 'Settings' > 'Clipboard'
2 - Adding clips

- Tap into a text field, highlight the text you want copied and select 'Copy'.

If you don't tap 'Save' your text will expire after 1 hour.
3 - Edit and delete clips
You can view all of your clips by visiting the Clipboard. To edit, delete and rearrange your saved clips:
