| The `neo4j-admin dbms unbind-system-db` command removes and archives cluster state for the `system` database, so that the server can rebind to a new `system` database in a cluster. | ||

| This command should be run on all remaining members of a cluster to work as expected. |

This is my whole suggestion (all comments here combined), if you want to apply it:
Suggested change
| This command should be run on all remaining members of a cluster to work as expected. | |
| You must shut down all cluster members before running the command on each of them. | |
| For details, see xref:clustering/multi-region-deployment/disaster-recovery.adoc#make-the-system-database-write-available[Disaster recovery guide -> Make the `system` database write-available]. | |
| The `neo4j-admin dbms unbind-system-db` command does not affect the cluster state of the standard databases. | |
| However, since all servers in the DBMS must be shut down when the command is issued, downtime is expected for all databases within the DBMS. |

Thank you, @renetapopova! I applied your suggestions. Now it reads smoother.

Thanks for the documentation updates. The preview documentation has now been torn down - reopening this PR will republish it. |
