Writefull, a tool that offers AI-based language feedback, is offering a 10% discount on Writefull Premium to Overleaf users for a limited time

As part of our 10th Anniversary celebration 🎉🎊, we sat down with Overleaf's founders John Hammersley and John Lees-Miller to take a brief look back at its history.

As the eagle-eyed among you may already be aware, late last year, we introduced a new source editor (the area of Overleaf where a user types in their LaTeX code). This change has enabled us to make some exciting improvements to our Rich Text (visual editing) functionality and means we can bring you other highly requested improvements and valuable new features faster.

We’ve removed the previous source editor—Source (legacy) — for some users over the last couple of months and gathered crucial feedback in the process. In late May 2023, the legacy editor will be removed entirely, so we wanted to tell you more about the changes and what to do if you hit any problems.

Our handy Tag feature (previously known as Tags/Folders) allows you to tag your projects (the clue’s in the name!) to make them easier to find, organize and share.

Now, we’ve made it easier to personalize your tags with your own choice of colors. Instead of a randomly assigned color, you can now choose from our pre-defined palette of nine colors, visually select a color in the colormap, or manually type the HEX or RGB value.

We’re pleased to announce that Overleaf Server Pro 3.5.3 is now available!

You can find further information in the official release notes.
