Step by step
Enter layout editing mode and select a free position.
Select the correct type, such as a circuit breaker or main switch. Choose unknown if you cannot yet identify it.
Check description, module width and number of phases. Save and verify the position.
Open an existing component in editing mode to change the available properties.
Choose Cover plate for covered free space and set its width. Use the corresponding action to free that space later.

Good to know
- A cover plate is not a component or circuit and does not appear as a separate search result.
- In the locked layout, circuit-forming elements open their circuit; other components open their details and documents.
