Question and Answer
The question and answer was extensive, so I thought I would share below:
Q: does that conversion from website to Web Site remains even after refresh & getting new data?
A: Yes, transformations are saved with the document and "replayed" when refreshing data.
Q: Can all of this being demo'd be done in the Design Studio license of Lumira 2.0, or does this require the full license?
A: See figure 17 of this blog - it covers licenses: https://blogs.sap.com/2016/11/09/sap-bi-strategy-and-roadmap-webcast-summary/
