## What it is
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
