The pressure is imminent. The European Accessibility Act took effect in June 2025. The U.S. ADA Title II update requires initial compliance by April 2027. Publishers are tightening their own standards. And institutions everywhere face the same uncomfortable truth: they don't have a scalable path to meet these mandates.

Before TeX Live 2025, the workarounds were complex. Buying expensive proprietary software to retroactively tag PDFs. Or manually add tags after the fact — hundreds of hours per document. At Iowa State, graduate students were literally sitting in an administrator's office learning what a "tag" is for the first time after completing their dissertations.

Then TeX Live 2025 shipped with native support for automatically tagged PDFs. It changed everything.

We are pleased to announce Overleaf Server Pro 6.3! This release introduces improvements to document editing workflows, institutional theming capabilities, and updates to the LaTeX compilation environment and security infrastructure. You can read the full release notes here.

Here's what's changed, what to check before switching, and how to fix the most common new errors. The most notable update in this release is that the features that produce accessible PDFs are ready to use in production workflows, and have graduated from the prototype phase. This update also gives you access to new and updated TeX-related programs, fonts, and macro packages. This blog post covers all the key information and important changes you need to know about.

Overleaf releases an official update once a year after rigorous testing to ensure everything works as expected. We do this in order to ensure a consistent and stable experience for the millions of Overleaf users, and ensure our support team is able to assist you with any issues or questions.

A recap of our virtual fireside chat, "AI Uncorked: Guardrails, Compliance & IP Protection for the Enterprise," held July 23, 2026.

When we polled the audience at the start of AI Uncorked, the results told a familiar story: 32% of organizations are just getting started with AI, another 32% are piloting in select teams, and only 21% say AI is established in how they work. Most enterprises, in other words, are somewhere in the messy middle — past curiosity, short of confidence. And the thing standing between the two, the panel argued, isn't the technology. It's governance.

That was the thread running through the entire conversation. Hosted by John Lees-Miller, co-founder of Overleaf, the fireside chat brought together Dr. Mark Bloomfield, Fellow at Cambridge Judge Business School, who spends most of his week advising boards on AI transformation, and Maximilian Freier, economist and Secretary of the Monetary Policy Committee at the European Central Bank, where he also coordinates the ECB's own AI rollout.

Here's what stood out from an hour of genuinely unscripted discussion.
