adjusts
Makes small changes
Adjusts is the act of making small changes to achieve a better fit, position, or result.
You adjust a thermostat, adjust your expectations, or adjust to new circumstances.
The word implies fine-tuning rather than wholesale change: She adjusts her glasses and leans in to read the fine print.
