 * Is there any way to add a metabox on the edit story screen on admin side? I use
   WordPress add_meta_box function to create it, but it not works.
    Is there any
   way that I can add custom field on edit story page (wp-admin/post.php?post={ID}&
   action=edit) on admin side?

 * [@atiq83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atiq83/) Thank you for submitting
   this topic! We are working on supporting legacy meta boxes to provide customization
   at the story level, and you can please feel free to monitor the progress of that
   work in this GitHub [issue](https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp/issues/3134).
   Does that work for you?

 * In plugin I can see /assets/js/edit-story.js
    this file is minified, I want unminified
   version of that file. Can you please help me where I can get the un minified 
   version of plugin’s JS files ?

 * Hi there,
 * You can find the unminified JavaScript source files on GitHub: [https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp](https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp)
 * Note that there currently no easy way to add custom fields / meta boxes like 
   you are looking for.
 * As mentioned earlier, we are working on adding support for meta boxes, and you
   can follow [https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp/issues/3134](https://github.com/google/web-stories-wp/issues/3134)
   for the progress on that.

 * I can not find the unminified version of /assets/js/edit-story.js on GitHub. 
   Can you please give me a direct link to that unminified JS file? I will be greatly
   thankful to you.

   Just to give you a heads up: we are working on adding meta box support, so stay
   tuned for further plugin updates!
