We are using the online editor to build our Storymap and hosting it locally.
So far everything is going smooth, we are close to releasing our first Storymap, but... we would like to add some links in the header... and maybe an overlay image on the map (icon image not layer). However, nothing I do to the locally hosted HTML nor JS files does anything to the output. I really don't want to (if it's even possible) implement jQuery in order to make what I want happen... but I will.
Is there any other route?
Which story map application template are you using? We have several

Folks you need to let us know the name of the app you are using
Sorry about that... lol. THAT would be annoying. My bad.
Here is the locally hosted version.
http://maps.cityoftulsa.org/sandbox/lmercado/downtown/
It's the 'Map Tour' storymap.
Are you using the developer download (In the code folder you will see the 'src' folder with full uncompressed source code)?. Or are you using the ready-to-deploy version (you will an 'app' folder with a couple .min files)?
If you using the developer version, you can follow the developer guide to set up your computer: Esri/map-tour-storytelling-template-js · GitHub. Using the developer version requires that you run a build command to package the app for deploy. The developer guide should also have additional instruction for testing your app locally before building. If you still have issues, let is know.
