| When snippets are updated from Chakra UI, we document them in the changelog so | |
| you're aware. | |
| In your project, it's up to you to decide whether to update the snippets or not. | |
| In most cases, you can check the | |
| [snippet directory](https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui/tree/main/apps/compositions/src/ui) | |
| to see the changes. | |
| When running the `npx chakra snippet add` command, the CLI will check for | |
| existing snippets in your project and skip adding them if they already exist. | |
| If you want to overwrite the existing snippets, run the following command: | |
| ```bash | |
| npx chakra snippet add --force | |
| ``` | |
