2. There is a flag called paper which can help you switch the format between paper submission and electronic submission.

\settoggle{paper}{false} % set to true for paper submission

• Paper submission
  • Margin: 2.5cm-2.5cm-3cm-2cm (except front cover)
  • Without watermark
  • With required documents (i.e., 論文審訂書, 圖書館電子授權書)
• Electronic submission
  • Margin: 2.5cm-2.5cm-2.5cm-2.5cm
  • With watermark

3. Update the content list once you made any change in chapters/.

\input{chapters/introduction.tex}
\input{chapters/background.tex}
\input{chapters/design.tex}
\input{chapters/implementation.tex}
\input{chapters/evaluation.tex}
\input{chapters/related_work.tex}
\input{chapters/discussion.tex}
\input{chapters/conclusion.tex}

4. After oral defense, update the paths of required forms and documents.

\includepdf{pdf/certification.pdf}
\includepdf{pdf/authorization.pdf}

Environment

I have only tested this template on Overleaf with XeLaTeX engine. Local LaTeX environment may also work.
