* Add reference preview/edit drawer to the library, with mobile bottom-sheet layout * Fix stylelint comment spacing and update library Cypress spec for the drawer flow * Fix desktop drawer focus/escape handling and autosave race in the library Replace the desktop preview panel's hand-rolled Escape listener with the shared FocusTrap component (already used for the mobile sheet), fixing missing focus trap/restore and reusing existing infrastructure instead of duplicating it. Track whether the kebab actions menu is open via a ref so Escape closes just the menu first, not the whole panel. Guard the autosave-on-blur form against redundant saves (skip when nothing changed since the last save) and out-of-order responses (serialize saves through a queue so a later edit can't be clobbered by a stale response). Remove dead commented-out JSX for unimplemented tabs/actions. * Reinstate library reference analytics events for the new preview drawer * Surface an error notification when deleting a reference from the drawer fails * Fix stuck kebab-menu state and blocked outside clicks in the reference drawer * Share error-message extraction and add a test for the delete-failure path * Fix formatting * Fix the translation GitOrigin-RevId: a0082377c6e3f6712fba80c485b9cde4d431c90f

Community Edition
Overleaf is an open-source online real-time collaborative LaTeX editor. We run a hosted version at www.overleaf.com, but you can also run your own local version, and contribute to the development of Overleaf.
Caution
Overleaf Community Edition is intended for use in environments where all users are trusted. Community Edition is not appropriate for scenarios where isolation of users is required due to Sandbox Compiles not being available. When not using Sandboxed Compiles, users have full read and write access to the
sharelatexcontainer resources (filesystem, network, environment variables) when running LaTeX compiles.
For more information on Sandbox Compiles check out our documentation.
Enterprise
If you want help installing and maintaining Overleaf in your lab or workplace, we offer an officially supported version called Overleaf Server Pro. It also includes more features for security (SSO with LDAP or SAML), administration and collaboration (e.g. tracked changes). Find out more!
Keeping up to date
Sign up to the mailing list to get updates on Overleaf releases and development.
Installation
We have detailed installation instructions in the Overleaf Toolkit.
Upgrading
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Overleaf, please see the Release Notes section on the Wiki for all of the versions between your current version and the version you are upgrading to.
Overleaf Docker Image
This repo contains two dockerfiles, Dockerfile-base, which builds the
sharelatex/sharelatex-base image, and Dockerfile which builds the
sharelatex/sharelatex (or "community") image.
The Base image generally contains the basic dependencies like wget, plus texlive.
We split this out because it's a pretty heavy set of
dependencies, and it's nice to not have to rebuild all of that every time.
The sharelatex/sharelatex image extends the base image and adds the actual Overleaf code
and services.
Use make build-base and make build-community from server-ce/ to build these images.
We use the Phusion base-image
(which is extended by our base image) to provide us with a VM-like container
in which to run the Overleaf services. Baseimage uses the runit service
manager to manage services, and we add our init-scripts from the server-ce/runit
folder.
