How can you write a clean automated database migration script file inside a Laravel framework application architecture?

I want to add a new column named answer_author to an existing database table without losing or wiping clean my hundreds of active live question records. What command sequence creates the safe delta schema?

Never drop and recreate active live database tables. Generate a specialized delta schema migration file using the terminal command: <code>php artisan make:migration add_answer_author_to_questions_table --table=questions</code>. Inside the generated up method append <code>$table->string('answer_author')->nullable();</code> then execute artisan migrate.
