The basic clipboard function does not have to be explained in all detail - it is well known from applications such as Word or text editors. Content can be copied to the clipboard and pasted in another location, but it can also be cut - copied and removed - and pasted later. The challenge is to do this right across multiple contexts with different types of items.

The clipboard is global
In Magnolia, the clipboard is a global function. As such, it works across workspaces and the item sets they show. The clipboard also works across all item subsets and between all views of a workspace. Every workspace has its own toolbar with its own clipboard controls, but they all use the same, global clipboard to interact with.

If a user clicks/taps and holds the paste function, a tooltip will show the number and type of items currently in the clipboard (e.g. 5 videos or 3 items) and will highlight all items in the current view accepting a paste of the content in the clipboard. This effect disappears again if the mouse button is released or the tap ends. Note that releasing the mouse button or ending the tap does not cause a paste operation in this case - you have to click/tap the paste button again to get this behavior.Please consult the usage summary for a full definition of mouse, touch and keyboard usage definitions.
