# Add Original File Name to Existing Tables

<mark style="color:red;">\[</mark><mark style="color:red;">**Deprecated**</mark><mark style="color:red;">]</mark> As the <mark style="color:red;">{$name}\_file\_original\_name</mark> column has been added to Larupload since <mark style="color:red;">v2.2.0</mark>, you may need to add this specific column to your <mark style="color:red;">**existing**</mark> tables.

```php
<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;


return new class extends Migration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::table('media', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->laruploadAddOriginalName('file');
        });
    }
};
```

{% hint style="info" %}
The first argument of `laruploadAddOriginalName` should match the first argument of `upload`.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This column is only used when you've created table columns in HEAVY mode before.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
This feature has been <mark style="color:red;">deprecated</mark> since version <mark style="color:red;">3.0.0</mark> and storing original file names is now enabled by default.
{% endhint %}
