So is this your weak attempt at suggesting the Declaration is of less importance or value because the title was changed after two weeks? That it is of less value because it was sent from the Continental Congress to George?
"Did they identify it as a unanimously agreed resolution at any time prior to New York's decision? If they did, show it."
Do a google search on the Stan Klos website and look for the Declaration of Independence page. I recall there is a image which shows the text of the Lee resolution for Independence (July 2), with the clerk's tally of the votes [all "A" (aye), no "N" (nay)]. That is a unanimous vote on the resolution under the rules of the Continental Congress. An abstention is not a "no" vote.
Not at all, though it does show that the declaration occurred and changed upon the individual actions of the separate states, not some unstated and unsupported legal concept of "the Union" that supposedly predates it.

That was the Lee resolution though, which incidentally Lee himself later described as an act of 13 separate states. The subject of our discussion is the Declaration itself. I'll ask you again. Prior to New York's decision to join the Declaration do you know of any version of that document that states itself to have been unanimous?
Oh, and feel free to link to whatever sites you are referencing.
