One year ago, we reached the milestone of having six million total registered users worldwide. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

One year on, and two million more of you have started using Overleaf! 🎉🎉

Just a few weeks ago in June, the eight millionth user registered for an account on Overleaf, as the LaTeX community continues to grow and expand. We’ve also seen peaks of over 400k daily active users in 2021, which is another record!

This is amazing, and we’d like to send a message of thanks to everyone who uses, shares, collaborates upon, and champions Overleaf! You’re all fantastic!

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve upgraded our LaTeX compile servers to make TeX Live 2020 live and available on Overleaf! As of October 2020, all new Overleaf projects will be based on TeX Live 2020 - please read the full post for the key information and important changes.

We’re pleased to announce the full release of the Overleaf project file outline. This feature is perfect for anyone who is working on larger projects such as research papers, books and theses. It's also pretty handy for shorter projects too!

New feature! You can now select which TeX Live version will be used to compile your Overleaf project. This enables you to work with the latest available versions of LaTeX packages, lets you adjust your projects to run with older versions as required, and helps you submit your work to publishers that use a specific TeX Live version to compile submissions.

As much of the world continues in lockdown, we wanted to update you all on what we’re doing to help you work from home during the global Coronavirus pandemic.

In addition to the free account upgrade we announced last month, we’ve started to host a series of webinars on a range of topics. You can find out more about both of these initiatives in this post.
