If you load a project where symbols are present both in its cache and in the system libraries, Eeschema will scan the libraries for conflicts. Any conflicts found will be listed in only one schematic. The two important steps to understand are: How to create a sub-sheet. How to build electric connections between sub-sheets. 6.2.
