    What is the official way to modify a package? It doesn't seem obvious to me.

    Bump.

    I can't believe that I am the only person wondering this? Is this not a super obvious feature?

    copy it to the Packages folder in the project (it's called an embedded package)

    Do you mean the Assets folder? They're already in the Packages folder (obviously).

    no they are linked to it via the AssetDatabase. they are physically in the Library folder (if you open Packages/ in the finder, you will see there is only the manifest there)

    Yes, currently the way to develop a package is to copy/move it to your project's Packages folder.

    Is it possible/advisable to import a package into the Assets folder?

    Hi @HonorableDaniel,

    No, you should never import a package in Assets unless you don't want it to be treated like a package.
