Microsoft started giving separate builds in the 'Dev' and 'Beta' channels again on May 11, with the beta channel getting Windows 11 build 22621 and the Dev channel acquiring Windows 11 build 25115.
The new Windows 11 build 25115 has a "Suggested Actions" feature that comes in handy when you forget what to do after copying something.
New Suggested Actions Feature
According to Bleeping Computer, Microsoft released the new "Suggested Actions" feature with Windows 11 build 25115, which prompts an action bar to appear when you copy phone numbers, dates, or times from apps.
When you copy a date, Windows 11 asks you to create an event in one of the linked programs, such as Outlook or Calendar.
When you copy a phone number, for example, Windows 11 will ask if you want to call it using one of your installed click-to-dial tools.
When you choose an action, Windows 11 will launch the app and fill in the necessary task with the copied data.
There's no assurance that this feature will ever make it into a public Windows 11 build because it's in the Dev build, which Microsoft developers use to test new features.
