Two of our most requested features are now out of testing and available to all users - an in-editor option to quickly save your work to Dropbox, and a multi-language spell checker to help pick up those typos and mistakes that can easily slip past.

Protected projects provide greater control and security when you share your documents with collaborators and reviewers, as you retain full control over who can access your work at all times.

Here we provide a short guide to creating your first protected project, adding & removing collaborators, protecting existing projects and identifying your protected projects on the 'My Projects' dashboard.

We pleased to announce that you can now share your PDFs directly from writeLaTeX, and track how many people view and share your work - freely available to all our users as part of the main writeLaTeX service.

In this post we present the full set of how-to videos we've recently produced, plus a round up of what you've been tweeting about writeLaTeX over the past few weeks!

Just started using @writelatex to preview minimal working examples from @StackExchange - things I wished I learned years ago!
