A message stating the board file does not exist will appear. Click Yes to create the board file from the schematic. You will see a new window appear with all of the components you entered in the schematic connected by a tangled web of logical traces. For our project, the tangle is not too difficult to sort, but with larger projects, you may want to add a few components at a time while connecting them on the board layout as you go.
