Jordan M Editing Lightning Web Component
I am new to LWC and cant seem to figure out how to open the source code for LWC. Aura can be opened in the dev console but from what i understand this is not possible with LWC.
Is it possible to open a LWC source code from within the org? I have a LWC that was developed by someone else that needs editing. How can I access the source code?

You can create a new project with Manifest in VS code. After authorizing your org, retrieve metadata from Org, you will get the whole code in force-app --> main --> default --> lwc.
The manifest file should be like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
<types>
<members>*</members>
<name>ApexClass</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>*</members>
<name>ApexComponent</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>*</members>
<name>ApexPage</name>
</types>
<types>
<members>*</members>
<name>ApexTestSuite</name>
</types>

</Package>

After being arrested, one must post bail (https://www.atlantisbailbonds.net/) to be released or wait to see a judge and ask for release (https://www.atlantisbailbonds.net/) on your word.
This is a useful discussion! I followed the steps above and managed to retrieve data from my org but I can't figure out how to edit (and find in the first place) the Article Content component that displays Salesforce Articles (part of the Knowledge product) on Communities/Sites. I need access to the HTML and JavaScript, I think, to tweak the behaviour of images displayed as part of the 'Article Content' component. I am not finding the component in question under the LWC folder, nor anywhere else (components, pages folders etc). Is this possible at all?
OMG, Salesforce Advanced Code Searcher (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/salesforce-advanced-code/lnkgcmpjkkkeffambkllliefdpjdklmi" target="_blank)--which was already a great utility--has an "LWC Editor" tab built right into it:
Big props to Sameer Miraj and this wonderful addition (https://jungleeforce.com/category/salesforce-2/lwc/)!
