Can't edit silkscreen of cloned part!

Cloned a part. It appears in SCH Libs under Work Space. Selected it, hit edit. I see the schematic of the part. But there is no silk-screen outline. I understand I need to switch to the silk screen layer. But there is no layers menu. It does not appear! And there is no option to make it appear. Needless to say, I am confused. Also, all of the tutorials about this are outdated and need to be updated.

Please clarify your question and provide a link to (i.e. the url of) the part you are asking about. Schematic Symbols (a.k.a. SCH Libs) do not have silk screens. PCB Footprints (a.k.a. PCB Libs) have silk screens. Please read the Tutorial about Schematic Symbols and PCB Footprints to try to understand the distinction between and function of them. Please also read (2.3) in (2) in: [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/How-to-ask-for-help-and-get-an-answer-71b17a40d15442349eaecbfae083e46a](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/How-to-ask-for-help-and-get-an-answer-71b17a40d15442349eaecbfae083e46a) If your part has a SCH Lib and a PCB Lib preview in the Search Libraries tool then to edit the PCB Lib, double clock on the PCB Lib preview.

Ah, that was it. It has a preview, and that preview is clickable. The confusion was caused because (a) the cloned part only appears in the SCH Libs type, not the PCB Libs, and (b) because there is no indication that you can click on the preview to edit it - this is not mentioned in the tutorials at all as far as I can tell.

The reason it does not appear in the PCB Lib section is because a PCB Footprint usually does not have the same name as the Schematic Symbol. In my notes about creating symbols and footprints, I recommend giving both the same name of the part they are for but that is very time consuming and generates huge libraries because one footprint can be used by many different parts and one part may be available in several different packages. New PCB Footprints should now follow the recommendations given in: [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/EasyEDA-Footprint-Naming-Rule-Reference-9b470b52aeca46228b446f1fc0e323f0](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/EasyEDA-Footprint-Naming-Rule-Reference-9b470b52aeca46228b446f1fc0e323f0)
