Typeset makes it easy to create and manage LaTeX projects. Every project includes a collaborative editor, real-time preview, and AI assistance.

​
Creating a new project

1

Navigate to your projects

Go to the “My Projects” page from the home screen or navigation menu.
2

Click Create Project

Click the “New Project” or ”+” button to create a new project.
3

Start editing

Your project will be created instantly with a default LaTeX template and you’ll be redirected to the editor.
New projects are automatically initialized with a basic LaTeX document structure including your name as the author.

​
Default project template

When you create a new project, Typeset generates a starter template: 
\documentclass{article}
\title{Untitled Project}
\author{Your Name}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\section{Section}

Text

\end{document}
This provides a clean starting point that you can immediately compile and customize.

​
Renaming projects

You can rename your project at any time to keep your work organized.
1

Open the project

Navigate to the project you want to rename in the editor.
2

Click the project title

Click on the project title in the top navigation bar to open the rename dialog.
3

Enter a new name

Type your new project name (up to 60 characters) and click outside the dialog or press Enter to save.
Choose descriptive names for your projects to make them easier to find later, such as “Research Paper - ML Theory” or “Thesis Chapter 3”.

​
Project limits

  • Title length: Project titles must be between 1 and 60 characters
  • Access control: Each project has an owner and can be shared with multiple collaborators
  • Storage: Projects are stored in the cloud and automatically saved as you type

​
Deleting projects

To delete a project you own:
1

Go to My Projects

Navigate to your “My Projects” page.
2

Find the project

Locate the project you want to delete in your project list.
3

Delete the project

Click the delete button or menu option for that project.
Deleting a project is permanent and cannot be undone. The project will be removed for all collaborators.

​
Leaving shared projects

If someone has shared a project with you and you no longer need access:
1

Go to Shared With Me

Navigate to the “Shared With Me” page.
2

Find the project

Locate the project you want to leave.
3

Leave the project

Click the leave button to remove yourself from the project.
Leaving a project only removes your access. The project owner and other collaborators will still have access.

​
Project organization tips

  1. Use descriptive names: Make your project titles clear and searchable
  2. Regular compilation: Compile your documents frequently to catch errors early
  3. Share strategically: Only invite collaborators who need edit access
  4. Archive completed work: Leave or delete projects you no longer need to keep your workspace clean
