The panel also offers the ability to pass on any changes made to components in the library directly to the schematic design document, and also to define model linking for a component.

If the SCH Library panel is currently in the group of docked panels on the left, use the SCH Library tab located at the bottom of the panels to bring it to the front.

The associated description for each component also is listed.

The design editor window is editable, allowing you to change the symbol for the component and add, edit, or remove linked models for the component as required.

Selecting a Pin object in the panel causes the corresponding graphical object to be highlighted (and zoomed) in the editor workspace.

In this way, the SCH Library panel offers a fast and easy way to browse, view and access schematic library components and pins.

This is especially useful if the library contains a large number of items.

Filtering can be applied using one of the methods described in the following sections.

Only those components in the list targeted by the scope of the entry will remain displayed.
