 % You can pass an abitrary number of variables to Publish.
-% IMPORTANT: they must be collected and passed in ONE struct
-% if multiple structs are passed, only the first one will be stored!
+% Passing multiple structs will create multiple data files.
 % You can additionally add datapaths and combine the methods.
