+   The first variant of this command listed in the synopsis can change
+   all of the publication properties specified in
+   <xref linkend="sql-createpublication">.  Properties not mentioned in the
+   command retain their previous settings.  Database superusers can change any
+   of these settings for any role.
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   To alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of the
+   new owning role. The new owner has to be a superuser
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+   The other variants of this command deal with the table membership of the
+   publication.  The <literal>SET TABLE</literal> clause will replace the
+   list of tables in the publication with the specified one.
+   The <literal>ADD TABLE</literal> and
+   <literal>DROP TABLE</literal> will add and remove one or more tables from
+   the publication.
