At Overleaf we’re always looking at ways to continually improve our product. Since we joined forces with ShareLaTeX in mid-2017, we’ve worked hard to bring the best elements of Overleaf and ShareLaTeX together.

With the new combined platform successfully launched and new features being frequently added, we’ve now brought a number of those upgrades to our on-premise solutions - Overleaf Community Edition and Overleaf Server Pro!

What is the Overleaf Community Edition and Overleaf Server Pro?

Overleaf has two on-premise solutions - Overleaf Community Edition and Overleaf Server Pro.

The Overleaf Community Edition is a lite version of our LaTeX editing platform which can be freely self-installed (see https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf for details); and Server Pro is our full, officially supported, paid service. Server Pro is an excellent option for organizations that are looking for the ease and functionality of the Overleaf platform, but require a solution that sits behind a firewall.

Server Pro comes as a docker container and is a drop in replacement for the Community Edition. This includes features such as LDAP (SSO), improved security so users can not access the host machine, track changes, comments, our optimized version of tex live, rich text mode, templates and our admin panel. Server Pro is charged on an annual per-seat licensing basis - get in touch for a demo and pricing.

So What’s New in Server Pro 2.0.1?

We’ve made a lot of minor improvements along the way, but our main highlights are:

• Improved project dashboard
• A new interface for creating (or uploading) files in a project
• Linked Files: import a file from another project
• Improved History view
• Rich-text mode now available in the Editor
• Support for TeX Live 2018
• A brand new user interface theme

You can find further information about this release in the Server Pro 2.0.1 Release Notes.
