# How do I change how many files one Junk Yard card can hold?

Open Settings → **Junk Yard** and use the stepper next to **Capture a multi-file copy of up to** in the Capturing section. It moves in steps of five, from 5 up to 250, and starts at 25.

A copy with more files than this is skipped entirely rather than cut short, so you never get half a batch. A lower limit keeps the board lighter; a higher one lets bigger selections become a single card.
