Overall Satisfaction with Overleaf
I use Overleaf for writing purposes, both scientific and collaborative. It functions well as an easy to use, easy to start up with, Latex editor without having to install additional software and compilers. One of my main use cases for Overleaf is as a tool for writing scientific and research papers with partners. I also use the documentation for Latex whenever I am lost with syntax.
- Easy to get started and compile documents
- Collaborative scientific writing
- Latex documentation
- Built in templates
- Comments and chat features
- Version history is a great feature but only available in the paid version
- Scientific Writing Collaboration
- LaTeX Document Writing
- Formatting of documents for different articles
- Easier to collaborate with team members
- Easy reviewing of papers by colleagues
- Simple to use latex publishing which promotes the use of it
- Microsoft Office 2016 (discontinued)
Overleaf promotes collaboration and has much better scientific formatting, which makes it great for research papers.
It allows for much smoother and more professional looking documents, with easy to change and configure formatting.
It is very difficult to insert mathematical formulas and long complex derivations in Microsoft Word, and formatting in Microsoft Word is also very finicky.
