 - **Neo4j**: Database name defaults to `neo4j` (hardcoded in Neo4jDriver)
 - **FalkorDB**: Database name defaults to `default_db` (hardcoded in FalkorDriver)
 
-To use a different database name, pass the `database` parameter when creating the driver:
+As of v0.17.0, if you need to customize your database configuration, you can instantiate a database driver and pass it to the Graphiti constructor using the `graph_driver` parameter.
