Overleaf/ShareLaTeX is an installation of the text typesetting system LaTeX on servers, which can be used via a browser. This service supports the collaborative editing of LaTeX documents through versioning and the central storage of resources (e.g. graphics, templates etc.). The Technical University of Darmstadt offers this service via a Shibboleth connection.

In a pilot project, the use of the TU Darmstadt instance was tested by institutions of RWTH Aachen University. The pilot project started on 29 November 2021 and was successfully completed. Overleaf in cooperation with TU Darmstadt will be included in regular operations at RWTH from 6 February 2024.
