Advanced features overview
Power-user settings in ClipaX — startup, capture controls, Nexus styles, filters, history cleanup, and sync cache.
This section covers optional and power-user settings that fine-tune how ClipaX captures, pastes, stores, and syncs your clipboard. Most options live under Settings (gear icon on the dashboard or menu bar).
Use these guides when you already understand Quick start and Everyday use.

How to open Settings
- Open the ClipaX dashboard (main window).
- Click Settings in the sidebar.
- Choose a section from the left navigation (General, Shortcuts, Nexus, Filters, Account, Cloud Sync, History, About).
On iPhone and Android, Settings opens full screen; desktop-only sections (Shortcuts, Nexus, Filters) are hidden on mobile.

Tips
- Changing capture or filter settings applies to new copies; existing history rows are not removed unless you run cleanup.
- Many advanced options do not require sign-in; Cloud Sync still needs an account and Pro+Sync subscription.
