Hi, In the article above, it mentions the ability to edit existing Mods. I'm wanting to make some edits to the 3d line chart mod. is this possible or do I need to start from a dev starter mod template?

Hello John! From what I can tell, the best way to edit an existing mod using the mod file (ie without access to the source code) would be to use an archive handling program such as 7-zip to extract the contents of the .mod file. This will output a META-INF folder and a mod.zip. The mod.zip folder contains the code for the mod, but be prepared: this is the "final" code, so if a bundler or anything were used by the original author, you'll just have the bundled javascript. 

As a disclaimer, I'm not a member of the Tibco team, so all my advice should be taken with a grain of salt. There may be a better way to do this, this is just the way that I've found.
