Steps to Edit PSD Mockup with Smart Object Technique

1. Locate the Smart Object Layer: In the Layers panel, identify the layer containing the Smart Object you wish to edit. This is typically indicated by a small icon at the bottom-right corner of the layer thumbnail.
   
   
   
2. Double-Click to Open: Double-click on the Smart Object thumbnail. This will open a new tab or window containing the isolated Smart Object.
   
   
   
3. Make Edits: Now you can add text, insert images, change colors, or make any other changes within this Smart Object. The changes you make here will automatically update on the original PSD mockup.
   
   
   
4. Save the Smart Object: Once you've made your edits, save the Smart Object by going to File > Save or pressing Ctrl + S (Windows) or Cmd + S (Mac).
   
   
   
5. Return to Original Mockup: Close the Smart Object window or tab, and you'll see that the original PSD mockup has been updated with your edits.
   
   
   
6. Additional Edits: If you want to make more changes to the Smart Object, simply double-click it again to reopen it, make your edits, and save again.
   
   
7. Finalize the Mockup: Once you're satisfied with all your edits, you can save the final version of the PSD mockup. Go to File > Save As to save it as a new file, if you wish to keep the original mockup unchanged.
