When you have published your thesis
When you have published your thesis the information is controlled by an administrator at your department before it is published. Hence, you cannot see your publication in DiVA immediately after your registration. When the administrator have published the record, it becomes both visible and searchable.
If you in retrospect discover something wrong, for example that you have uploaded an inadequate file or entered wrong department contact the DiVA-administrator at your department.
