Lab collaboration shouldn't be this hard

Multi-author papers have unique challenges. TypeTeX is built to solve them.

Version conflicts

Email attachments, 'final_v3_REAL_final.tex', merge nightmares

Everyone edits the same document. Real-time sync. No conflicts.

Inconsistent formatting

Each lab member has their own LaTeX setup and style preferences

Shared lab templates ensure every paper looks consistent

Onboarding new members

Weeks learning LaTeX plus lab conventions and workflows

New members contribute quickly—simpler syntax, shared examples

PI review bottleneck

Advisor can't easily comment without LaTeX knowledge

PIs comment directly in the browser. No software needed.

Compilation chaos

Works on my machine. Different results on different systems.

Browser-based. Same output for everyone, every time.

Lost institutional knowledge

Templates and workflows live in departing members' folders

Shared workspace preserves templates, styles, and examples

Built for research teams

Everything your lab needs to write papers together, faster.

Real-time collaboration

Multiple authors editing simultaneously. See cursors, see changes as they happen. No sync delays.

Shared workspace

Lab-wide templates, citation libraries, and style guides. Everyone starts from the same foundation.

Role-based access

PIs get admin access. Set edit or comment-only permissions. Control who can modify final versions.

Version history

Every edit tracked. See who changed what, when. Roll back to any previous version.

AI assistance

AI helps draft, cite, and review. Consistent quality across the lab. Faster first drafts.

Instant preview

No compilation queues. Everyone sees the formatted output in real-time as changes are made.

Flexible access control

Set permissions that match your lab structure. Everyone gets the access they need.

Per-document

How labs write papers together

A typical multi-author workflow in TypeTeX.

1

Lead author creates document

Start from a lab template. Formatting, bibliography, and styles are pre-configured.

2

Co-authors join and contribute

Assign sections. Everyone edits simultaneously. See each other's work in real-time.

3

PI reviews with comments

PI opens in browser, reads formatted output, leaves inline comments. No LaTeX required.

4

Iterate until ready

Address feedback, run AI review checks, refine together. Version history tracks everything.

5

Export and submit

One-click export to target journal format. Everyone sees the same final PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can collaborate on a document?

Unlimited. TypeTeX doesn't charge per seat. Invite your entire lab, plus external collaborators on specific papers.

Can we use our existing LaTeX templates?

Yes. Import existing .tex files and templates. TypeTeX supports LaTeX syntax, so your existing work carries over.

How do permissions work?

The workspace admin (typically the PI) sets default roles. Individual documents can have custom permissions. You can grant edit, comment-only, or view access per person.

What about sensitive unpublished research?

Your documents are private by default. Only people you explicitly invite can access them. We don't train on your content.

Can we integrate with our reference manager?

Yes. Import from Zotero, Mendeley, or any BibTeX export. Set up a shared lab bibliography that everyone can use.

What happens when a lab member leaves?

Their contributions remain in version history. Transfer document ownership to another member. Templates and shared resources stay with the lab.
