cannot find symbol Workbook.close()

Question

I saw multiple questions with this header but didn't get my answer.

 private void createHandBackFile(XSSFSheet sheet, String programId, XSSFWorkbook workbook) throws IOException {
    String output = "C:\\Users\\muddassirr\\Downloads\\Personal\\STORE\\Output";

    File file = new File(output + File.separator + programId);
    if (!file.exists()) {
        file.mkdirs();
    }
    int noOfColumns = sheet.getRow(0).getPhysicalNumberOfCells();
    for(int i = 0; i < noOfColumns; i++) {
        sheet.autoSizeColumn(i);
    }
    FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(output + File.separator + programId + File.separator + "HAND_BACK.xlsx"));
    workbook.write(outputStream);
    outputStream.close();
    workbook.close();
}

There is no compilation error. But As I run I get runtime error saying

java: cannot find symbol
symbol:   method close()
location: variable workbook of type org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook
