Getting started workflow overview graphic has some issues
It implies the github plugin works for symbols. It also still uses the name component which is no longer used in kicad.
And it kind of implies the generic symbol workflow (associate footprint after schematic is done) to be the only one available (maybe first explain that there is an alternative where you have footprints pre assigned in the lib -> which is the case for a vast majority of symbols in the official lib. See http://www.kicad-pcb.org/libraries/klc/G2.1/) This issue bugs me quite a bit as it is one of the most spread misconceptions about the kicad workflow. (It is often listed as the major downside of kicad. Example: https://www.build-electronic-circuits.com/kicad-vs-eagle-2018-comparison/)
The graphic might also imply that the library editors are part of pcb new and eeschema.
