Thank you for reading this! If you'd like to report a bug or join in the development of Overleaf, then here are some notes on how to do that.
If you'd like to report a bug or open an issue, please check if there is an existing issue. If there is then please add any more information that you have, or give it a 👍.
When submitting an issue please describe the issue as clearly as possible, including how to reproduce the bug, which situations it appears in, what you expected to happen, and what actually happens. If you can include a screenshot for front end issues that is very helpful.
See our wiki for how to manage the Overleaf development environment and for our developer guidelines.
We love pull requests, so be bold with them! Don't be afraid of going ahead and changing something, or adding a new feature. We're very happy to work with you to get your changes merged into Overleaf.
If you're looking for something to work on, have a look at the open issues.
Please do not publish security vulnerabilities publicly until we've had a chance to address them. All security related issues/patches should be sent directly to [email protected] where we will attempt to address them quickly. If you're unsure whether something is a security issue or not, then please be cautious and contact us at [email protected] first.
