For example, in the official tutorial, “Using Component Library Editor” section, number 10, it says to go to “Preferences → Component Libraries”. I can’t find a "Component Libraries option under Preferences, both from Eeschema and the Symbol Library Editor.
The next step says to click the book icon, which should be ‘Select working library’, but that book icon is only associated with “New Library” wherever I see it.
Same with Sparkfun’s Guide. The section “Creating Custom KiCad Schematic Components” has icons that don’t look anything like the ones I see, and I similarly can’t find the ‘Selecting working library’ button they show in the image.
My guess is that I’ve downloaded a new version, and the recommended tutorials haven’t caught up with it yet. Are there tutorials suited for the latest version I’ve downloaded (5.0.2), or should I find an old version to download?
Check out the FAQ link up above for help with all things library. @Rene_Poschl is one of the librarians and has done quite a bit of work on the FAQ in regards to the libraries and such.
