Hi I am a Newbie. I would  like  to  modify the footprint  of  a component in the  library, but keep the schematic. I can  change the footprint  but  then  how do I save it so that I can  use it in future, with that  schematic.? Help!!

Open it for editing from the library; Save it with a unique name; It should then show up in under Workspace in the libraries tool. If it does not then go to your Worksosce through the upper right account button and find the footprint in All(My Libraries) and select it there.  From then on it appears in Workspace.

I have been trying to do the same thing  with no success. When I select the component in the library and click EDIT it opens to the symbol edit screen, I cant get to the footprint edit screen.

Double click on the footprint preview. Or note the footprint then search for that in the Library after selecting Type: Footprint.

OK, Thanks that worked, but it only saved the footprint. The symbol is gone.

@Brevor, Schematic Symbols and PCB Footprints are two separate files so you have to edit and save each one individually. You can search for Schematic Symbols in the Library after selecting Type: Symbol. You can also find and edit your Schematic Symbols and Modules and PCB Footprints and Modules in your Personal Workspace here: [https://easyeda.com/account/user](https://easyeda.com/account/user)
