11.1. General Information About Component Libraries

A component is a schematic element which contains a graphical representation, electrical connections, and fields defining the component. Components used in a schematic are stored in component libraries. Eeschema provides a component library editing tool that allows you to create libraries, add, delete or transfer components between libraries, export components to files, and import components from files. The library editing tool provides a simple way to manage component library files.
