+### Handling AUTO_INCREMENT Values in Dumps
+
+When creating a database dump, you might need to control the inclusion of AUTO_INCREMENT values. This can be crucial for avoiding primary key conflicts or for maintaining ID consistency when transferring data across environments.
+
+#### Skipping AUTO_INCREMENT Values
+
+To omit the AUTO_INCREMENT values from the tables in your dump, use the skipAutoIncrement method. This is particularly useful to prevent conflicts when importing the dump into another database where those specific AUTO_INCREMENT values might already exist, or when the exact values are not relevant.
+
+```php
+Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
+    ->setDbName('dbname')
+    ->setUserName('username')
+    ->setPassword('password')
+    ->skipAutoIncrement()
+    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');
+```
+
+### Including AUTO_INCREMENT values in the dump
+
+By default, the AUTO_INCREMENT values are included in the dump. However, if you previously used the skipAutoIncrement method and wish to ensure that the AUTO_INCREMENT values are included in a subsequent dump, use the dontSkipAutoIncrement method to explicitly include them.
+
+```php
+Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
+    ->setDbName('dbname')
+    ->setUserName('username')
+    ->setPassword('password')
+    ->dontSkipAutoIncrement()
+    ->dumpToFile('dump.sql');
+```

 ### Use a Database URL
 
 In some applications or environments, database credentials are provided as URLs instead of individual components. In this case, you can use the `setDatabaseUrl` method instead of the individual methods.
