Edit downloaded mod

Is there a way to edit a downloaded mod / see what files are being modded?

I’ve found downloaded mods are in

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires IV\mods\extension\subscriptions

The ID can be found by looking at the mod on Mods All - Age of Empires, then the mod can be opened in Essence Editor by starting a new mod, then going File > Open and opening the .svg there.

Seems a slightly awkward process; I wonder if there’s a better way.

After opening the mod in a newly created mod, how do you incorporate all the edits into the new mod?
(besides going thru every single file and trying to figure out what was changed, then changing it in your own mod…)

Is there no way to merge them / easy way to add it all to your new mod? Or just edit the original?

Thanks
