Laravel 12 Rollback a Specific Migration

In this article titled “Laravel 12: How to Rollback a Specific Migration”, I’ll guide you through the process of rolling back a particular migration in a Laravel 12 application — explained step by step with a practical example. The method shown here is also compatible with earlier Laravel versions including Laravel 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

In this guide, you'll discover how to:

• Rollback a specific migration file

• Re-run a selected migration after rollback

• Rollback a specific migration and run database seeding

Rollback a Specific Migration

Rather than executing a full migrate:rollback—which reverts the entire last batch of migrations (potentially affecting multiple files)—Laravel provides a way to rollback just one specific migration by using the --path option.

php artisan migrate:rollback-- path=database/migrations/2025_07_14_134057_create_tests_table.php

🔔 Important: Ensure there is no space between --path= and the migration file path. Adding a space will result in a command error.
