[Lazarus] Proper procedure after changing files for an installed package?

This is using Lazarus 3.0.0.
I have a package with a GUI component which files I have downloaded on-line. The
files are stored in a subdirectory to the pcp directory of Lazarus.
The package has been "installed" in Lazarus earlier.

Now I have retrieved updated files for this package and I wonder what is the
proper procedure to get these installed in Lazarus?

I can replace the 6-8 files with the new versions in the pcp dir the original
files live in. But then what?

Do I open Lazarus and use the function "Tools/Build Lazarus with Profile Normal
IDE" or do I have to find the package below menu item "Packages" and explicitly
command a Compile/Install?

I believe that the file timestamps are not really reliable indicators of the new
files...

Somehow the package needs to be explicitly built.

I have not encountered this situation earlier...
