+### Preparations as Migrations
+
+If you want to add a field to your table after you've already created the initial schema, you can create a struct or class that conforms to `Preparation` like so:
+
+```swift
+
+struct AddFooToBar: Preparation {
+    static func prepare(_ database: Database) throws {
+        try database.modify("bars", closure: { bar in
+            bar.string("foo", length: 150, optional: false, unique: false, default: nil)
+        })
+    }
+
+    static func revert(_ database: Database) throws {
+
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Then, in your Droplet setup, add this line: `drop.preparations.append(AddFooToBar.self)`
+
 ### Droplet
 
 To run these prepations when the applications boots, you must add the Model to the `Droplet`.
