substantively

In material ways

Substantively means in a way that has real substance or significance.

A proposal that differs substantively from an earlier version has meaningful changes, not just cosmetic ones.

In legal contexts, substantively relates to the actual rights and duties involved rather than procedural matters: The law was substantively unchanged.
