Overleaf
Overleaf is a collaborative, cloud-based LaTeX editor for creating professional documents such as academic papers, research articles, technical documentation, resumes, theses, and presentations that require advanced formatting and mathematical equations. Overleaf allows multiple users to collaborate in real time, making it ideal for team projects and research groups. It includes built-in templates, version history, and automatic PDF compilation.
The University of Arkansas Fayetteville offers Overleaf Standard and Professional licenses for purchase through an agreement managed by UITS and ENGR.
Availability: Faculty, Staff, Graduate Assistants
Licenses offered include:
- Overleaf Standard ($65.00 per license per year)
- Overleaf Professional ($239.00 per license per year)
Both Standard and Professional include all the same features (track changes, full document history, integrations, etc.). The only difference is the collaborator limit: Standard allows up to 10 collaborators per project, while Professional offers unlimited collaborators.
