You can use VCC (power) and GND (ground) symbols to connect power and ground instead of manually routing wires across your schematic. This is a common technique used by professional engineers to improve the readability of schematics.
Version control (sometimes called source control) keeps track of changes to files over time. Multiple users can edit the same projects. Some platforms that support version control are GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, and Google Drive.
Create an account on GitHub by going to github.com and signing up. Once complete, click the profile circle on the top right. Most navigation items can be found through the pull down menu. Download a Git CLI, preferably (Git for Windows)[https://gitforwindows.org/], however, GitHub provides a CLI that is recently out of beta GitHub CLI.
To use GitHub with PSoc code requires a very specific set up, this is mostly due to how PSoC creates and manages files.
There are three major types of voltage regulators that you will encounter in this program:

A Gantt Chart is a common project management tool that helps teams understand the phases of a project, deadlines, critical paths, and interdependencies between tasks. It is important to gain experience predicting how long tasks take in order to calibrate your time management.
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board made of both conducive and non-conductive materials onto which components can be soldered to create a circuit. The circuit connections are made via copper traces on the board. An example PCB is shown in Figure 1.
Cadence is an electronic computer-aided drafting (ECAD) program commonly used in industry for the design and simulation of electronic circuits and printed circuit boards. The following video by Casey Petersen describes the basics of Cadence:
The Cypress Programmable System on a Chip (PSoC®) is a mixed-signal electronic hardware platform that integrates a microcontroller core, programmable analog signal processing blocks, programmable digital hardware blocks, and capacitive touch sensing. The following is a list of helpful resources for getting started with the PSoC®:
