 ==== MongoDB default connection mode changed
 
 The upgrade to Debezium 2.5 brings a change to MongoDB's default implementation.
-In previous builds, the default connection mode was `replica_set`; however with Debezim 2.5 this is now `sharded`. (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-7108)[DBZ-7108])
+In previous builds, the default connection mode was `replica_set`; however with Debezium 2.5 this is now `sharded`.
+If you were connecting to a sharded cluster and not explicitly setting a connection mode; ergo, relying on the default behavior, you must review your connector configuration and make adjustments. (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-7108)[DBZ-7108])
 
 Overall, this change is part of larger effort to remove the `replica_set` mode entirely.
 Please be sure to review your connector configurations for all MongoDB connectors when upgrading.
