I don’t know if this helps but I created personal libraries for my components. For me the most time was spend making the directories and putting them in the “Configuration Paths”
Here’s what I ended up with:
The 3 entries at the bottom are of my libraries. Notice I did not put the 3dpackages under modules. It was always difficult to find there.
Then in each editor (symbol and footprint) create a new library saving each in the above created folders.
Then I find the part I want to change, export it, go to my library and import it. Make changes and save.
As you can see I put my library under my documents so they get backed up with my other data.
