Merge WAN Database (Best way to add 1 new field)

I have a Database which is Merge Replicated to 5 sites

I need to add 1 new field

What is the best way of doing this ?

I have previously removed the publications, subscribers, added the
field and pushed the whole database out

Please advise

Regards Paul

When you say "add a new field", I guess you mean "add a new column to
an existing table"? You can make the change with the replication
interface in Enterprise Manager, and it will be replicated for you -
see "Schema Changes on Publication Databases" in Books Online.
