I think the best thing to do is add the folders into code manager rather than using the imports button. This means that you will always access the updated version of the snippets.

Open Tools >> Code Snippets Manager
Press Add.
Browse to the first folder above.
Repeat for second folder.
Access by:
Right click and select insert snippet or surrounds with.
Type the name of the snippet and intellisense will pick it up, and then press tab.
