Parts creation is unlikely to ever be easy. When development stopped around 2016, parts editor was not finished (and is the same today.) These three tutorials apply to the current version of Fritzing (as you point out, most of the rest are for older versions, although parts creation has not changed all that much.) I prefer to not use parts editor as it is only useful for a very small part of parts creation and has a number of bugs. The current tutorials are here: > [@A new part creation HowTo (long!

This version corrects some suggestions (mostly saving Inkscape files as optimized svg which turns out to cause other problems) with the first version and expands the section on parts testing. While there doesn’t appear to be a lot of interest in this subject I’ll make at least this update so the information is as correct as I can get it.)

So while doing that I decided to record what I needed to do in order to fix the part to provide a tutorial to create new / fix broken parts. If you start from the Tarjeta S4A EDU.fzpz file posted in the above thread, you should be able to recreate my improved part posted in the same thread. I started by loading the original part in to Fritzing, that indicates breadboard is (at first look anyway) pretty good, but schematic and pcb are… The reason there aren’t more of them is because no one has written them. At this point most of the people I learned parts making from are no longer posting here, which is why I have begun documenting what I have learned from others so that knowledge is not lost.
