Hey, I’m pretty new to all of this, and I’ve made my first PCB.  
Since A4, which is the Smallest Frame Size is a lot too big for something as simple as this here, I made my own board in the library editor.  
Adding it and stuff worked great, but then I accidentially deleted the board that was in the “default” tab thinking I’d need to replace the board or something since it still looked like the old oversized one  
Now I can’t get back the board to the “default” tab, so I can’t place my components.  
Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

I don’t really understand your question. But if you deleted something by accident, you can just use “undo” to go back to the previous state.

Why you can’t go to the default tab? In your screenshot you have that tab open and the devices are ready to be placed?

Btw, you don’t necessarily need a schematic frame. It looks more professional to have one, but for a hacky hobby project you could go without. Or just go with A4, since this is probably what you’d use for printing on paper (even if the circuit is small). In the end, the frame doesn’t need to match the size of your circuit, but the paper you would use for printing.
