…Editor Although Arduino Web Editor uses the same build system as the other Arduino development software, the cloud-based nature can make it more difficult to determine library locations. Although very convenient, Arduino Web Editor having every one of the thousands of Library Manager libraries pre-installed does result in a higher incidence of header filename collisions. This means it is especially important for Arduino Web Editor users to understand library location priorities.

Although Arduino Web Editor uses the same build system as the other Arduino development software, the cloud-based nature can make it more difficult to determine library locations.
Although very convenient, Arduino Web Editor having every one of the thousands of Library Manager libraries pre-installed does result in a higher incidence of header filename collisions. This means it is especially important for Arduino Web Editor users to understand library location priorities. However, the sketch build process documentation's "Location priority" section doesn't provide any Arduino Web Editor-specific information.
Library location priorities in Arduino Web Editor are fully documented.
No
The
