 If you have a global scope that should be taken into account, you can define this as well with `extraScope`. For example if you have a pages table containing pages of multiple websites and every website has it's own unique slugs.

+### Generating slug suffix on first occurrence
+
+By default, the first occurence of a slug will not have a suffix. You can force the first occurence to also have a suffix so, even if the slug is unique as it is, it will be suffixed.
+
+```php
+public function getSlugOptions() : SlugOptions
+{
+    return SlugOptions::create()
+        ->generateSlugsFrom('name')
+        ->saveSlugsTo('slug')
+        ->useSuffixOnFirstOccurrence();
+}
+```
+
+### Generating a custom slug suffix
+
+By default, the mechanism to make slugs unique is to append an autoincremental value to the slug. You can generate a custom slug suffix such as a random string or hash with `usingSuffixGenerator`.
+
+It accepts a callable that receives the base slug (without any suffix) and the iteration number, which represents how many times the suffix generation process has been run to ensure uniqueness. This number could be useful to monitor the collision rate of the generation process.
+
+```php
+public function getSlugOptions() : SlugOptions
+{
+    return SlugOptions::create()
+        ->generateSlugsFrom('name')
+        ->saveSlugsTo('slug')
+        ->usingSuffixGenerator(
+            fn(string $slug, int $iteration) => bin2hex(random_bytes(4))
+        ); // Sample dummy method to generate a random hex code of length 8
+}
+```
+
 ### Integration with laravel-translatable
 
 You can use this package along with [laravel-translatable](https://github.com/spatie/laravel-translatable) to generate a slug for each locale. Instead of using the `HasSlug` trait, you must use the `HasTranslatableSlug` trait, and add the name of the slug field to the `$translatable` array. For slugs that are generated from a single field _or_ multiple fields, you don't have to change anything else.

 `findBySlug` also accepts a second parameter `$columns` just like the default Eloquent `find` method.
