Hi,
1) I believe you are asking if there is a way to download/export the configuration of a completed Story Map, is that right? Sorry, there is currently no way to do this, but we are considering options for this in the future. Can you please share the workflow you'd like to accomplish by downloading the app or exporting the configuration?
2) There is a lot of information in the readme file on each GitHub repository. Just scroll down from the main page and you will see the readme file content...
3) Correct, when you edit code via Inspect Element or other browser tools you are only changing the files on your local machine. It would be a slight security flaw if you could change HTML/JS files on someone else's app or server! 😉
Hope this is helpful!
