Clipboard Workspace
What is it?
The clipboard workspace is a special editing window that makes it easy to edit and clean up the contents of the clipboard in virtually automatic fashion. Skip the manual pasting in text after a launch and copying it to the clipboard before you quit the app. Clipboard workspace does this automatically.
You can disable the clipboard workspace via Preferences > General. When disabled, TextSoap will open an untitled document on launch, like most document-based apps.
How does it work?
When TextSoap launches, the app creates a window and pastes in the current contents of the clipboard into that window for you.
You can then edit the text, clean it with any of the existing cleaners, manually find and replace text, and so forth until the text is satisfactory for your needs. While working with your text, you may use the clipboard as normal.
When you quit TextSoap, the app (automatically) copies the contents of the workspace window on the clipboard for you.
Clipboard Workspace Workflow Example
Here is one workflow available to clean text with TextSoap:

Open TextSoap app (contents of clipboard is pasted into Clipboard Workspace).
If you have no selection, cleaners apply to the entire text. If you optionally select text, only the selected text is cleaned.

- Find and click the “Convert to Uppercase” cleaner in the cleaner list.

- Quit TextSoap (text from Clipboard Workspace is copied back to clipboard).

Other integration options
The clipboard workspace is great option when you may need to do more than just apply a cleaner and need to possibly manipulate the text manually.
If you just need to apply a cleaner to text, there are some additional integration options available to simplify the workflow further. See:
- TextSoap Menu
- AppleScript commands
