Automatic Device Discovery

After launching CrossPaste, the software automatically scans for other devices running CrossPaste on the local network.

• These devices will be displayed in the "Nearby Devices" list.
• You can choose to add trusted devices or block devices you don't want to connect to (to unblock, go to Settings > Network > Blacklist and remove the device from the blacklist).

Adding New Devices

Click the Add button next to the device you want to connect to.

• The system will ask you to enter a token. This token will be automatically displayed on the target device.
• After entering the correct token, the device will be added to the "My Devices" list.
• This process ensures that only devices you trust and control can connect to each other, guaranteeing security.

Managing Connected Devices

After adding a device, you can perform the following operations:

1. Modify Device Notes

• Click the menu icon to the right of the device and select "Modify Notes".
• Set an easy-to-remember name for the device, especially when you have multiple similar devices.

2. Remove Device

• If you no longer need to share pasteboards with a device, you can remove it (removed devices will need to be re-verified to connect again).

Viewing Device Details

Click the menu icon to the right of the device and select "Device Details" to:

1. View detailed information about the device

• System type and version
• CrossPaste software version
• Device name and username

2. Adjust synchronization options

• Allow receiving pasteboards from this device
• Allow sending pasteboards to this device

You can turn these options on or off as needed, flexibly controlling the direction of pasteboard synchronization.
