"Apporter quelques changements" v "faire quelques changements"

Salut,
Can I write apporter quelques changements in this context? I have read that although apporter is normally reserved for physical movement of objects, it can be used figuratively too.
Merci!

Bonjour John,

The expression is -

apporter des changements à quelque chose = to bring changes to something

This changes the meaning slightly, as the author states that she intends to make general changes and not to the routine specifically.

If you had wanted to say what the changes specifically referred to the routine you would say -

Donc, j'ai décidé d'y apporter quelques changements

Hope this helps!
