I have a live laravel project created by an old employee. Is there any way that I can change the contents of that project on server without breaking the website? I want to add some functions to it. Can I test the website after updating the code?

Depends how good you are at coding mate. I've been using Laravel for ages, but I wouldn't risk it. Spin up a local copy and make your changes there. – Joundill May 27 '20 at 09:05

Yes, you can. Is it recommended? No
It's better to have a staging/testing environment setup for this. Or even better, have a local env.
If you have no choice but to do it on production then I suggest to do at off hours, when you expect no users will be online. Nonetheless, you will have to take full responsibility of your actions.
