+#### Location priorities in Arduino Web Editor
+
+The location priorities system works in the same manner in [Arduino Web Editor](https://create.arduino.cc/editor), but
+its cloud-based nature may make the locations of libraries less obvious.

+1. **Custom**: the imported libraries, shown under the **Libraries > Custom** tab.
+   - These libraries are under `/tmp/\<some number>/custom`
+1. **Pinned**: libraries that were [associated with the sketch](sketch-specification.md#metadata) by choosing a specific
+   version from the library's "Include" dropdown menu.
+   - These libraries are under `/tmp/\<some number>/pinned`
+   - Note: clicking the "Include" button does not result in the library being pinned to the sketch.
+1. **[Platform bundled](platform-specification.md#platform-bundled-libraries)**: these are listed under the

 ## Compilation
 
 Sketches are compiled by avr-gcc and avr-g++ according to the variables in the boards.txt file of the selected board's
