Hi,
When you have added and saved your libraries in EESchema and PCBnew
you need to click on PROJECTS - SAVE PROJECT DESCR to save everything
you have changed in your project. Kicad also keeps a local cache of
the parts that you use.
The simple rule is save everything and you should be OK.

You can use something called a via to connect a trace on one side of

When making changes in the schematic you have the option of re
