 `workbook_item`  |  The `workbook_item` specifies the workbook you are publishing. When you are adding a workbook, you need to first create a new instance of a `workbook_item` that includes a `project_id` of an existing project. The name of the workbook will be the name of the file, unless you also specify a name for the new workbook when you create the instance. See [WorkbookItem](#workbookitem-class).
-`file`  |  The file path or file object of the workbook to publish. When providing a file object, you must also specifiy the name of the workbook in your instance of the `workbook_item``workbook_item` , as the name cannot be derived from the file name.
+`file`  |  The file path or file object of the workbook to publish. When providing a file object, you must also specifiy the name of the workbook in your instance of the `workbook_item`, as the name cannot be derived from the file name.
 `mode`     |  Specifies whether you are publishing a new workbook (`CreateNew`) or overwriting an existing workbook (`Overwrite`).  You cannot appending workbooks.  You can also use the publish mode attributes, for example: `TSC.Server.PublishMode.Overwrite`.
-`connections` | List of `ConnectionItems` objects for the connections created within the workbook.
+`connections` | List of `ConnectionItems` objects that supply credentials for the connections embedded in the workbook. The `server_address` of each item is used to find the matching connection in the workbook file; it does not change the connection's server address. See the note below.
 `skip_connection_check` | (Optional) Set to `True` to skip connection check at time of upload. Publishing will succeed but unchecked connection issues may result in a non-functioning workbook. Defaults to `False`.
 `as_job` | (Optional) Set to `True` to run the upload as a job (asynchronous upload). If set to `True` a job will start to perform the publishing process and a `Job` object is returned. Defaults to `False`.
 
+**Note:** When you publish, the `server_address` of each `ConnectionItem` in `connections` identifies which connection embedded in the workbook file the credentials belong to. It does not change the server address of that connection; the workbook is published with the server address saved in the file. If `server_address` does not match a connection in the file, the credentials are not applied. To point an embedded connection at a different server, publish the workbook first and then call [workbooks.update_connection](#workbooksupdate_connection). See the second example below.
