The formula of change of basis $[T]_B' = P_B'leftarrow B[T]_BP_Bleftarrow B'$.
I don't understand why you need $P_Bleftarrow B'$? It seems to me that if you have the transformation expressed in $B$ already with $[T]_B$ you just need to translate to $B'$ by using $P_B'leftarrow B$ to get $[T]_B'$ rendering $P_Bleftarrow B'$ as useless. Can someone explain what I am missing here?

Imagine what you must do to a vector expressed in $B'$ coordinates in order to apply $T$ to it. First you switch from $B'$ coordinates to $B$ coordinates, then you multiply by the matrix of $T$ (with respect to $B$), then finally you switch back to $B'$ coordinates.

Write $B=e_1,...,e_n, B' =e_1',...,e_n'$
If you have the first member of $B'$, $e_1'$, and you want to compute the effect of $T$ on it, then applying $[T]_B$ to $(1,0,...0)$ will be the effect of $T$ on the first member of the basis $B$, so $e_1$, written in the basis $B$ so it has nothing to do with the image of $e_1'$.
So if you only know $[T]_B$ and want to compute $Te_1'$, then you first have to write $e_1'$ in the basis $B$, so you compute $P_B'to B(1,0,...0)$, then compute $[T]_B$ times that, which yields $Te_1'$ but written in the basis $B$, so now you have to write it in the basis $B'$ to get the correct result, that's where $P_Bto B'$ comes from on the left. This gives the formula
