So, I'm going to navigate over to the right-hand side to my libraries here, let me make sure I'm in the right libraries. That's the lilypad simple v2 library here. And here I'll see all the components that I'll be using to create my schematic. Now, I can search here, I have a search command, so if you have a very large library, you can search specific component names, or footprints, or whatever it may be, but then once we've found the components we're looking for, it's very simple to insert it into the schematic.
