Split Text into Items: 3 Fast Workflows
Aug 10, 2025 · 5 min read

When you copy a long passage, AegisClip can split it into separate, tidy clips. This is perfect for writing drafts, assembling emails, or reusing snippets.
Three strategies
1. By paragraph (default)
Split on blank lines - perfect for breaking up articles or documents into logical sections.
2. By sentence
Ideal for translation or proofreading work where you need to process text sentence by sentence.
3. Custom
Choose whether to keep bullet symbols and numbering - great for maintaining list formatting.
How to use
1. Right‑click a long text clip → Split into X parts
2. Each part becomes an independent clip you can tag, pin, or paste
3. Undo is supported if you need to merge back
Real-world examples
Example 1: Research notes
You've copied a long research paper section. Split by paragraph to create individual clips for each key point, then tag them by topic.
Example 2: Email templates
Copy your standard email responses, split by paragraph, and pin the most used ones for quick access.
Example 3: Code documentation
Split long documentation into manageable chunks, making it easier to reference specific sections while coding.
Pro tip: After splitting, use multi-select mode to reorganize clips in your preferred order before step-pasting them back.
Best practices
- Use paragraph split for most content types
- Sentence split works best for dense technical content
- Always preview the split result before confirming
- Tag split clips immediately for better organization
