A VSCode extension that opens Overleaf/ShareLaTeX projects directly in the editor with full collaboration support. It provides on-the-fly LaTeX compiling, PDF preview with SyncTeX, and in-editor chat with collaborators.

Use cases

• edit overleaf projects in vscode
• compile and preview latex in vscode
• collaborate on overleaf documents from local editor
• sync pdf and source with synctex in vscode
• work on sharelatex projects locally
• chat with overleaf collaborators inside vscode

When to choose

• you prefer VSCode over the Overleaf web editor but need to keep working on Overleaf projects
• you want local editing with on-the-fly compile, preview, and SyncTeX navigation
• you need to chat with collaborators without leaving your editor
• you run a self-hosted ShareLaTeX/Overleaf Community Edition server

When to avoid

• you don't use Overleaf or ShareLaTeX for your LaTeX workflow
• you need features only available in the official web editor, such as full history or review panels
• your server version is untested or uses SSO/captcha flows you can't work around with cookie login
