Trouble Editing a PCB footprint I created

I am trying to edit a footprint that I created for a terminal block. I followed the directions in this document from Andy: https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/How_to_edit_an_existing_PCB_Lib-122904ef178a4955bb729e9eeb646e3d. Everything is fine in cloning and renaming the part. However, when I click on Edit it takes me to the schematic view instead of the PCB view. How do I get to the PCB view to edit the footprint? Thanks, and thank you for such a great intuitive system. You guys have done an amazing job!

I suspect you have cloned a **Schematic Symbol** and not a **PCB Footprint**. Can you post an image of your copy of, or the original footprint that you have cloned, as it is shown in the Search+F library search window when you search for it? Or find it in: https://easyeda.com/component/user and post the link to it? To help you out, I suggest you read: https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/Welcome_to_EasyEDA-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f

Hmm. I just now created a new public project, "Building Footprints." The problem seems to happen with any component I try to modify. When I do the following using a stock LCSC part that has both a schematic and a footprint assigned: 1) Click on Parts > LCSC (Official) > Capacitors/Ceramic Capacitor > Part#/ 104/100V 20% (first part in the list) 2) Clone and rename part. 3) Searching for the part I only find the copy in MyPart/**Schematic** Lib. So it does indeed look like I'm cloning a schematic symbol. Where would I find the PCB symbol? Thanks

Hi, Andy Could you please fix word-wrapping in https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/From_Idea_to_PCB_an_EasyEDA_Design_Procedure-78173f41ed2d468cb6880e6d21483f11 ? Words are cut in without hyphens and in a very unnatural way, which makes the text painful to read, particularly for non-English speakers. Thanks.

... Same goes for https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/How_to_edit_an_existing_PCB_Lib-122904ef178a4955bb729e9eeb646e3d btw, but sentences are shorter and there are much less cases.
