# What's the difference between the Clipboard and Notes filters?

**Clipboard** shows scraps the Junk Yard caught automatically from things you copied. **Notes** shows scraps you made yourself — with **New note** and the other add buttons.

It's a quick way to separate the stream of everyday copies from the things you deliberately wrote down.
