Thank you.

In most situations they are identical.

No real difference! I would say 'Go through the document' is the most thorough.

They all the the general meaning of "revise" or "check", and I agree that "go through" is the most thorough. I'd imagine that going through a document means you are looking for specific information, or even checking closely for errors.
"Look over" would be least thorough, but not by much. You could use "browse" or "skim" as a synonym for this phrasal verb.
