Dissertation - the End is In Sight

Too late now to make any major changes. My fear is finding some hitherto unnoticed legal hole in my arguments, but so far I've just picked up on a few places where they need clarifying or cross-referencing to each other. I've gone over the text twice now, looking for typos, formatting errors and even badly-placed footnotes. I have 86 words in hand, and am wondering if I should slightly expand one section or add a bit more to my comments on potential further work in my conclusion.

The submission deadline is 4pm tomorrow. However, you can make more than one submission, with each overwriting the previous. I'm thus inclined to upload the dissertation as soon as it is reasonably ready, so that I can tweak it later but, if everything goes horribly wrong, there is at least a copy on the system.

Submit and mull. You have a day to spot any real problems and fiddling with it will only stress you.
And congrats.

Go for it - revise later if you have to.

Well done! That's a major piece of work you've done.

My media training suggests that one should proof-read six times ... let me see if I can recall the focus for each: Logical sequence of the argument; Fact-checking; Phrasing; Grammar; Typos; Final read-through ... I think.

Sounds like uploading something today as an insurance, and a final version tomorrow after you've slept on it, would be fine.
