ClipMate Classic closely resembles previous versions of ClipMate, and takes up much less space than ClipMate Explorer. It features a menu, a toolbar, and a drop-down list of Clips (the ClipList). In the picture to the right, it is shown in the "dropped-down" state, where you see a ClipList and a slimmed-down version of the preview/edit window.

The ClipList gives you access to all of the Clips in the current
Collection
. As soon as you select a Clip, it is placed back onto the system Clipboard, and is ready for pasting into any application.

·When you click on the drop-down arrow in the lower-right, the window expands to show the ClipList (listing of the clips in the current collection) and a preview of the data.  
·Unlike version 5, the ClipList in v6 will not immediately "roll-up" when you make a selection. This is to give you time to see the data in the preview area. As soon as you switch away to another application, the roll-up occurs automatically.  
·Also, you may find that you want the window to stay in the "drop-down" mode. In that case, use the "pin" icon in the lower-left to pin the window open.  
·At the bottom of the window (when in the drop-down mode) there is a "status" area, showing you the most recent clipboard or editing history. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see the recent history.  
·The blue toolbar button (3rd from the right) that resembles a 3-panel window will close Classic, and take you to ClipMate Explorer, which is more suitable for editing and data management.  

The toolbar shares many buttons in common with ClipMate Explorer, so the buttons are explained in the ClipMate Explorer Toolbar topic.
