Overleaf

What is Overleaf?

Overleaf is an online LaTeX and Rich Text collaborative writing and publishing tool that makes the whole process of academic writing, editing and publishing much quicker and easier for both you and your collaborators.

Getting Started

If you don't have an Overleaf account, visit the Overleaf for Brandeis portal and select 'Log in through your Institution'. Enter your Brandeis email address, and you will be directed to the familiar Brandeis login page to enter your account credentials.

Getting help for students with accessibility issues

There may be occasions where users are collaborating across different LaTeX platforms due to preference or accessibility reasons. In this case, LaTeX file sharing can be facilitated through the Overleaf Git-Bridge, an Overleaf integration with GitHub.com. See the Brandeis Library guide LaTeX with Overleaf for details on how to collaborate with Overleaf or contact Brandeis Library Data Services at dataservices@brandeis.edu for more information.
