Hello, I’m very new to electronics and I’m attempting my very-first PCB design. It’s exciting! I’m using LibrePCB.
My first PCB is centered around learning the process. My schematic involves a voltage input, 160ohm resistor, LED, and ground. Very simple. I can draw this schematic without issue. Though when I go to the board editor, I can place the resistor and LED, but I don’t see an obvious way to supply power.
So, my question is about how to supply power to the board. Ideally I want to solder on some wires that supply the power.
I’ve poked around trying to do this and don’t see a way. I have watched this tutorial:

And I’ve searched the internet ad-nausium and I’m not finding the answer.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
If you really want to solder the wires, use the “soldered wire connector”. But often it is more comfortable to use a real connector which allows you to disconnect the power supply easily, for example with a “Barrel Jack” (available in the “CUI Devices” library.
