Migration

Move Existing LaTeX Projects Without Guesswork

Public migration support today is built around ZIP import/export and GitHub-backed workflows. This page keeps those live paths separate from roadmap-only ideas like direct account-to-account Overleaf import.

Live today

  • ZIP upload from Overleaf or local projects
  • ZIP export for backup and portability
  • GitHub repository import
  • GitHub push/pull sync

Roadmap

  • Direct Overleaf account import
  • Public Zotero or Mendeley integrations

Trust & Status

Migration claims grounded in the live product

Use this page and the linked product docs when comparing migration promises. Live ZIP or GitHub workflows are documented separately from roadmap-only items.

ZIP-based project migration

Live now

Projects can be moved into the editor through standard file upload flows and ZIP-based migration.

Canonical docs

GitHub import, export, and sync

Live now

Users can connect GitHub, import repositories, export projects, and run push/pull sync.

Canonical docs

Direct Overleaf account import

Roadmap

A direct account-to-account Overleaf import flow is not documented as publicly available yet.

Canonical docs

Path 01

Move from Overleaf with ZIP Export

Export the project from Overleaf, upload the ZIP into LaTeX Cloud Studio, then recompile and verify your `main.tex`, images, and bibliography files.

Path 02

Import from GitHub

If the project already lives in a repository, import it directly through the GitHub workflow and keep using push or pull sync afterward.

Path 03

Export a Safe Backup First

Before major cleanup or sync work, export a ZIP backup so you always have a portable checkpoint outside the editor.
