Is there a way to have the output file be unzipped when running a data download workbench?

I have a server app set up on our implementation of FME Server 2021.2, and users visit the URL to grab the latest export of a database as a CSV. The resulting file is zipped up in a few folder layers which adds a few steps to the process for the end user. Is there a way to have the resulting file be just the CSV to save a few clicks and make life easier for my less tech savvy users?

Yes, the data download zip file's folder structure may be changed. These settings are accessible from the Publishing Wizard when registering the FME Server Web Services.
