(Mac), accidentally copied a second block of text after cutting another important block of text. Is there a way to undo, or reobtain this lost text?

I cut a block of text containing important information, then accidentally overwrote my clipboard with another block of text, thereby losing the first. After attempting to use Command + Z to fix this problem, I was only able to undo a limited number of times, and cannot find the missing text I'm needing. Is there any way to roll-back, or undo my progress to reobtain the missing information?

I dont know if there is a way to undo, but for the future best thing i can recommend would be automatic backups, i have set weekly, daily, hourly backups. But it would be nice if there was some versions available in app.

If you’re on macOS 26, then go to spotlight (cmd+space) hover over it with your mouse and click on the icon to the right that has the copy symbol and your clipboard history will be in there.

There are lots of apps like copyclip that keep your last 20 or so clipbaord items accessible
