Yup.

All true.

Well edited.

It was in manuscript form from 1833 till it’s first printing in 1867 by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of LDS.

Yup.

They got hold of it before BY and company could flee to Utah.

It's now SCRIPTURE for them, but NOT the LDS folks of Utah.

(But they got really good reasons for this.)

...emissaries from Utah came and demanded that Emma Smith turn over this manuscript to them, claiming to represent the Church.

 

She refused.

“It’s now SCRIPTURE for them, but NOT the LDS folks of Utah.”

Nice try, but no cigar.

A great many direct quotes from the Inspired Version are part of LDS scripture.

“They got hold of it before BY and company could flee to Utah.”

It’s not nice to play fast and loose with history. As you are well aware, “They” did not exist at the time. The manuscript remained in the hands of Emma Smith as it legally should have in my opinion.
