+The `block` format is intended to replace all the older formats.
+It uses a range of different data structures and inlining techniques to achieve data locality and store related data together on disk.
 This allows more related data to be fetched by fewer read operations, resulting in better resource utilization.
 
 The older store formats are based on the original `standard` format, each with different features and limitations.

 === Creating new databases
 
-The default store format of new databases is controlled by the xref:configuration/configuration-settings.adoc#config_db.format[`db.format`] configuration setting in the _neo4j.conf_ file.
-Or the store format can be passed as an argument to the tool creating the database, e.g. xref:tools/neo4j-admin/neo4j-admin-import.adoc#import-tool-full[`neo4j-admin database import`] or xref:backup-restore/copy-database.adoc[`neo4j-admin database copy`] commands.
+The default store format for all new databases is `aligned`.
+If you want to change it, you can set a new value for the xref:configuration/configuration-settings.adoc#config_db.format[`db.format`] configuration in the _neo4j.conf_ file.
+
+You can also create a new database on a specific store format by passing the new format as an argument to the command creating the database, for example, xref:tools/neo4j-admin/neo4j-admin-import.adoc#import-tool-full[`neo4j-admin database import full`] or xref:backup-restore/copy-database.adoc[`neo4j-admin database copy`] commands.
+
+For example:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+neo4j-admin database import full ... --format=block blockdb

+
+//There are several ways to create a new database in a specific store format:
 
-=== Changing an existing database
+// * Specify the store format when creating a new database using the `CREATE DATABASE` Cypher statement.
+// For example:
+// +
+// [source,cypher]
+// ----
+// CREATE DATABASE blockdb OPTIONS {storeFormat: 'block'}
+// ----
 
-Changing the store format is possible by re-writing all data in the new format using the xref:tools/neo4j-admin/migrate-database.adoc[`neo4j-admin database migrate`] or xref:backup-restore/copy-database.adoc[`neo4j-admin database copy`] commands.
+=== Changing the format of existing databases

+Changing the store format is possible by re-writing all data in the new format using one of the following options:

 Changing store format can be a time-consuming operation, depending on the size and complexity of the data in the database. Performance heavily depends on the speed of the disk and the amount of available memory.
 
+=== Verify the store format

 === Effects of store format choice
 
 The store format is responsible for how data is written to disk and how to read it.
