Hi Lucy, hopefully this information will address your questions.

1. The authority files are actually only used during the package install 
process.  Once you have installed the package, any changes you make in the 
RDM are not reflected in the files themselves, but are contained in your 
database.  You can export the schema that you've created to a skos file, 
but I don't know of a way to retro-actively create authority files (i.e. 
based on changes that have been made through the RDM.  As I mentioned in 
this considerations document 
<http://archesproject.org/implementation-considerations/>, personally I 
recommend making all of the changes to the authority files before the 
package install, because then you can reinstall without any trouble.

2. You'll need to modify the forms themselves, which has come up here 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/archesproject/forms/archesproject/_YyRG8wFUGs/EhXHFmB6w28J>and
 
here 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/archesproject/hannes/archesproject/aQEYrTFaJsA/qV1IfKzsobkJ>(and
 
perhaps elsewhere) on the forum already.  It's a bit of an involved 
process, so it would be best to get help from someone with good javascript 
and html skills.
