University of California, Santa Barbara on Overleaf

Overview

UCSB is providing Overleaf Professional features for selected research faculty engaged in collaborative projects who would like to use the online LaTeX editor for their projects. Overleaf Professional features include real-time track changes, unlimited collaborators, and full document history.

Other UCSB users of Overleaf can continue using their free Overleaf accounts and link them to the UCSB instance. Linking your free account to UCSB will enable Overleaf access through the UCSB landing page and will enable the campus to provide additional support.

Overleaf is designed to make the process of writing, editing and producing your research papers and project reports much quicker for both you and your collaborators. Overleaf can also be linked to other services to best fit into your workflow.
