start/end date for the workbook.

Click Publish when the settings are complete. If successful, the browser will report back
that the data was published successfully.
Note
If data for a given station and time interval already exists in the published data
source when another publish operation is requested AND the new data differs from
the old data in one or more values, the data must be merged. In this case, the Merge
Data page will open and request more information about how to merge the old and
new data together. See the section below on merging data.
Merging Data
In cases where new data records are being published to an already existing published data
source with the same station ID and timestamp, you must decide whether to keep the old
data or overwrite it with the new data. The Merge Data page appears whenever you try to
publish data with conflicts between old and new data with different values (see Figure 5.14).
