Git integration is now available Overleaf Server Pro with the 4.0 release. This highly requested feature is a powerful and flexible way to connect you, your collaborators, and your other research outputs/artifacts with your on-premises Overleaf project.

Update (Jan 16, 2024): In exciting news, Writefull is now fully integrated with Overleaf, giving you the power of AI-based language feedback directly in the editor on any browser. It is being made available to an increasing number of Overleaf users in stages. If you do not currently see the option to turn on the Writefull for Overleaf integration in your Account Settings, it should be available for your Overleaf account in the near future. If you are not seeing this and would like early access, please consider joining our beta program.

To turn on Writefull, just go to the Overleaf menu in your editor, and flip the switch. From there, you’ll be prompted to create a Writefull account, so you can get AI-powered language suggestions specifically tailored to scientific and technical writing.

For now, if you already use the Writefull for Overleaf extension, you can continue to use it as normal and you’ll have access to the same feature set as the integrated version.

The blog post below has been updated to reflect these changes.

As part of our 10th Anniversary celebration 🎉🎊, we sat down with Overleaf's founders John Hammersley and John Lees-Miller to take a brief look back at its history.

Update: As of June 14 2023, the legacy editor has been retired for all users.

As the eagle-eyed among you may already be aware, late last year, we introduced a new source editor (the area of Overleaf where a user types in their LaTeX code). This change has enabled us to make some exciting improvements to our Rich Text (visual editing) functionality and means we can bring you other highly requested improvements and valuable new features faster.

We’ve removed the previous source editor—Source (legacy) — for some users over the last couple of months and gathered crucial feedback in the process. In late May 2023, the legacy editor will be removed entirely, so we wanted to tell you more about the changes and what to do if you hit any problems.

Our handy Tag feature (previously known as Tags/Folders) allows you to tag your projects (the clue’s in the name!) to make them easier to find, organize and share.

Now, we’ve made it easier to personalize your tags with your own choice of colors. Instead of a randomly assigned color, you can now choose from our pre-defined palette of nine colors, visually select a color in the colormap, or manually type the HEX or RGB value.
