Latest Features

Stop on First Error compilation mode
Learning to debug errors is an essential part of learning LaTeX. Enabling the Stop on first error mode can quickly detect your errors (if any). Helps to debug compile timeouts. Don’t let your errors pile up!
PDF Detach
This feature allows users to see the PDF preview of their project in a separate tab, so they can use the code editor in full screen mode without losing the final view of the PDF. Look for the new Layout option in the top bar.

Check Your Document for Errors

It is important to solve any issues that appear under Logs and output files in the top right corner in Overleaf.

Overleaf has its own error guide, but you may use Google to find tips on how to fix errors in your document. We recommend to do it every time you get an error while you work.
