Create a new project (1:05)

UI walkthrough: Project page (1:58)

Add collaborators to your design (3:23)

Open your design in the Upverter editor (4:02)

Toggle between the schematic and layout editor (4:48)

Set your colour theme (5:12)

Add a component (from the library) to your schematic (7:00)

Create a new component in the library (10:42)

Pin list .CSV import into Part Editor (17:09)

How to zoom (20:46)

How to pan/move the design view (20:48)

Pro tip: Add a thermal pad to a part’s schematic symbol (21:32)

Pro tip: Make the part number visible a part’s schematic symbol (23:22)

UI walkthrough: Part editor, schematic symbol (23:53)
