+
+Generating YAML from metadata
+=============================
+
+``junifer`` stores the pipeline metadata for a run along with the extracted feature data.
+So, the metadata for all the "elements" processed with a pipeline is unique. The metadata
+contains all the necessary information to recreate the configuration used for the processing.
+
+If one wants to generate the processing YAML, :func:`.generate_yaml` can be used for that.
+The only requirement is providing the metadata which can be extracted by following the initial steps of
+:ref:`analysing results <analysing_extracted_features>`.
+
+
+Configuration for ``julio``
+---------------------------
+
+When generating a registry with `julio`_, we can configure the YAML generation process. For now, only
+DataGrabbers can be configured through the use of ``_dump_exclude`` class variable, like so:
+
+   .. code-block:: python
+
+     from typing import ClassVar
+
+     from junifer.api.decorators import register_datagrabber
+     from junifer.datagrabber import PatternDataladDataGrabber
+
+
+     @register_datagrabber
+     class MyDataGrabber(PatternDataladDataGrabber):
+
+         _dump_exclude: ClassVar[set[str]] = {
+            "patterns",
+            "replacements",
+            "confounds_format",
+            "partial_pattern_ok",
+            "uri",
+            "rootdir",
+            "datadir",
+            "datalad_id",
+            "datalad_dirty",
+            "datalad_commit_id",
+        }
+
+
+The above can be considered a standard setup for a custom DataGrabber inheriting from :class:`.PatternDataladDataGrabber`.
+
+
+.. admonition:: Tip
+
+   - For DataGrabbers inheriting from :class:`.BaseDataGrabber` custom setup is possible but not required.
+   - For DataGrabbers inheriting from :class:`.PatternDataGrabber` no extra setup should be required.
+   - For :class:`.PatternDataladDataGrabber`\s specified via the YAML, it is not possible
+     to customise and is usually not required. If such a need arises, creating a custom DataGrabber is the only way.
