-Then, include the 'meta' and 'uuid' columns in your database table:
+The Meta plugin adds a custom Artisan command to auto-generate migrations for meta-enabled models.
+To generate a migration for a new meta-model, use the following command:
 
-In your migration,
-``` php
-<?php
+```
+php artisan meta:migration name_of_migration --create=table_name

 $post->read('author'); //returns 'Bob Saget'
 ```
 
+### Adding Meta functionality to existing models
+
+To add Meta capabilities to existing models, you need to add the database columns and tweak the model's class as follows:
+
+##### Database update
+
+Create a new database migration using the custom Meta command:
+
+```
+php artisan meta:migration --table=existing_table_name
+```
+
+Make sure the inside of the `up()` function matches the following:
+
+``` php
+public function up()
+{
+    Schema::table('DummyTable', function (Blueprint $table) {
+        Meta::formTable($table);
+    });
+}
+```
+
+Then, migrate:
+
+```
+php artisan migrate
+```
+
+##### Model Class updates
+
+To enable the database functionality, the class for the model needs to extend the Meta class. Modify the class header to the following format:
+
+``` php
+
+class ClassNameHere extends Meta {
+    // your class stuff here
+}
+```
+
+> *Important*: you no longer need to extend the Model class, Meta does this for you
+
+After that, you can use the full meta functionality with your model.

 Let's say you need to retrieve the post that has a certain UUID (maybe you gave it out in a url or something)
