The past twelve months have been some of the biggest in Overleaf's history. Not only did we successfully launch the new Overleaf platform, we also hit the remarkable milestone of having over three million users worldwide! We even nudged our way into the Top 100 fastest growing companies in the UK as reported by SyndicateRoom earlier this month.

This is a fantastic achievement, and we'd like to say a huge thank you to all our users, customers and partners who've helped us continue to provide the best service we can, and who've provided invaluable feedback and input into the new platform.

As 2018 comes to a close, we thought we'd take a moment to look back on some of our personal highlights from 2018, and to wish everyone a fun, happy and successful 2019 😊

We're delighted to announce that Overleaf has been recognised as one of the UK's fastest-growing businesses, nudging ourselves into SyndicateRoom's Top 100 at number 99 :)

The Top 100 report was jointly compiled by independent research agency Beauhurst and SyndicateRoom to highlight the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the UK by focusing on company growth over the three years from 2015 to 2018.

We’re delighted to announce that a git integration for Overleaf v2 is now in beta!

The integration lets you git clone, push and pull changes between the online Overleaf editor, and your local offline git repository. The git bridge was a popular feature of Overleaf v1, and we heard a lot of feedback from the community about it being important to keep as a feature in Overleaf v2. It’s been one of the more challenging technical parts of the move to v2 for us, but we’re pleased to announce that it’s now ready for beta testing, ahead of a full launch in early January 2019.

We’re excited to announce the following new institutional partnerships!

• Dartmouth College
• DTU
• Imperial College London
• University of Agder (UiA)
• Stockholm University

London, UK and Melville, NY – 22 October 2018 — Overleaf, a collaborative cloud-based writing and reviewing tool, and AIP Publishing announce a new partnership to provide AIP Publishing authors with a new, enhanced authoring template and simplified submission process.
