Default Adding another coat of polyurethane to a nice hardwood floor

I had my floors redone about 5 years ago. The floors look in above average
condition. I'd like to apply another coat. There are a handful of areas I
need a little wood filler. Outside of adding some filler and sanding those
areas down, would there be anything else to do besides cleaning out dust
and adding another coat. Can an additional coat or two be applied to an
entire floor over the existing coats, or does the whole thing need to be
sanded down?

Overall, I'd like to add another coat or two to keep the floors in a
position so they don't need to be professionally done, yet I don't want to
mess them up.
Thanks for the suggestions!


All the pros I have watched have used a heavy buffer with a screen pad
between coats. After five years I would imagine it is more than required.

I did a touch up application where some idiots spray painted a bed while it
was setting on my floors that turned out good enough.
