# Account and settings sync

> Learn which ClipsX settings can roam between signed-in devices and which data remains local.

Configuration sync is opt-in. It can move a bounded set of supported settings
and reviewed intent between signed-in devices. It is independent of clipboard
history and is not end-to-end encrypted; the service can read synchronized
configuration.

## What can sync

* Supported profile preferences, including theme, language, default output
  format, and selected search preferences
* Renderer preferences
* Reviewed extension enablement intent and approved portable boolean or numeric
  settings
* Portable app shortcuts

## What stays local

Clipboard content, notes, tags, files, archives, credentials, permission grants,
provider endpoints and models, capture settings, diagnostics, indexes, jobs, and
derived data do not sync.

<Info>
  Signing out pauses sync and preserves local data. Extension restoration still
  uses the signed registry and requires fresh local capability consent.

## First connection

When the cloud profile is empty, ClipsX can initialize it from the device. When
cloud settings already exist, **Use cloud settings** is the default. Replacing
the cloud profile with the current device requires explicit confirmation.
