Blinker board tutorial is very good, and I have learned a lot with it. I
know very little electronics but I have managed to make my board thanks to
this tutorial.

I was confused because I didn't understand where "disable" layer meant the
same as "making it invisible".  The interface of the version of PCB I am
using is slightly different.
