I am very new to PIO. Regarding lib_deps in platformio.ini. I am using my libraries in the original arduino libraries folder on the local disk, including them in lib_deps copies them into the project. If I then alter my library this is not reflected in the original files, is there a way of updating the original? Opening another project, is there a way of updating the copied library files from the originals? Thanks
Not if you use the symlink:// protocol. This will create just a symbolic link to your original, no hard copy.
See documentation:

Thank you for the help, much appreciated, just what I was looking for.
Lovely, thanks for the help. Yes, I don’t want any forks in my libraries so I do need to amend them directly. I know there are risks in this approach but its the way for me.
