How to get the steps used to build the Neo4j Graph?

For example I am using the following Cypher code to build my initial graph:

CREATE (forrestGump:Movie {title: 'Forrest Gump', released: 1994}) 
CREATE (robert:Person:Director {name: 'Robert Zemeckis', born: 1951}) 
CREATE (tom:Person:Actor {name: 'Tom Hanks', born: 1956}) 
CREATE (tom)—[:ACTED_IN {roles: ['Forrest']}]—>(forrestGump)

Over time more and more Cypher code added, more CREATE and MERGE commands.

How can I get all the steps that used to build my graph? I have tried CALL db.schema.visualization() but it won't provide me with the steps above.

Please guide me how can I get the building steps?

For others that will have a similar issue, here are the docs that solved the issue:

Just choose which export procedure is suitable for your needs. It will export all the queries that used to build the graph.

You can’t. You will need to maintain your scripts if you want to rerun them. 

there is something called LiquidBase that may help you version and execute your scripts.  There is some form of Neo4j available separately. 

https://www.liquibase.com/pricing

there are also apoc export/import procedures to dump your data and reload it.
