=== Changing the store format of existing databases

Starting from 5.23, `block` format is the preferred format for Enterprise Edition due to its superior performance and scalability.
126-
Therefore, migrating all databases to `block` format is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
124+
Starting from 5.23, `block` format is the recommended format for Enterprise Edition due to its superior performance and scalability.
125+
It uses advanced data structures and inlining techniques to enhance data locality, which leads to better resource utilization.
126+
Therefore, it is highly recommended that Enterprise Edition users migrate all databases to `block` format at their earliest convenience to ensure the best possible performance.
127+
`block` format is the default format for new databases created in 5.23 and later, and is the default format for all databases in 5.26 and later.
128+
129+
From 5.25 onwards, the `block` format supports token names (including node labels, property keys, and relationship type names) of any length up to the GQL identifier max length of 16,383 characters.
130+
Thus, token names must adhere to this length limit when migrating from `aligned` to `block` format.
131+
132+
`standard` and `high_limit` formats are deprecated in 5.23 and will be removed in a future release.
133+
