Compare with
verbessert vs unverändert
unchanged
'unverändert' and 'verbessert' are opposites here. 'unverändert' says that something has remained the same. So it did not become different. 'verbessert' says that something has become different and is now better than before. If you only want to say that there was no change, use 'unverändert'. If the quality or situation has become better, 'verbessert' fits.
verbessert
Für den nächsten Termin hat sie die Präsentation noch einmal verbessert.
For the next appointment, she improved the presentation once again.
