How to use Grammarly in Overleaf

Overleaf is a robust LaTeX container with preloaded packages, live collaboration, a cloud-based editor, and a user base of over 10 million. It also integrates with powerful applications such as Writefull, Zotero, Mendeley, and CiteDrive, a BibTeX-based online reference management tool for users who want to collaborate on the same bibliography for an Overleaf document while keeping all references in sync.

Grammarly is a powerful tool for ensuring that your writing is clear, concise, and error-free. And now, it’s even easier to use Grammarly within Overleaf, the popular online LaTeX editor, after the latest release of the new source code editor to Codemirror 6.
