Documents Live, a web authoring and publishing system
Documents Live, a web authoring and publishing system
The web-native alternative to Office, Google Workspace, and Overleaf—where LaTeX meets modern collaboration. Book a demo!
Documents aren't locked into one format. Export to Office, Markdown, LaTeX, or PDF. Import from any of these.
AI tools work better with structured content — Documents Live's semantic markup unlocks that potential.
Your writing becomes an asset, not a prisoner.
Stop chasing links.
Documents Live's powerful cross-referencing system brings references right in sight, where you need them.
This even works if the reference belongs to another document!
Define co-authors and privileged readers for a document. Authentication and authorization are implemented at a low level.
Discussion threads are built in — comments stay with your content, not scattered in email.
Embed responsive CSV tables, sliders, tabbed content, and interactive data modules directly in your document.
Your audience engages with living content, not PDFs.
Your structured documents integrate seamlessly with AI tools. Generate summaries, refactor prose, suggest edits — all without leaving Documents Live.
Competitors treat AI as bolted-on; here it's native.
Track changes at the document level and drill down to individual blocks. Revert a paragraph without touching the rest. See who changed what, when, and why.
Versioning that scales with your workflow.
No downloads. No installations. No waiting for sync. Edit on desktop, tablet, or phone — changes appear instantly.
Your documents live on the web, not on your hard drive.
Work between WYSIWYG and raw LaTeX seamlessly. Create blocks, add widgets with drag and drop. Edit visually or in code. Switch modes without friction. The best of both worlds.
This entire feature cards and comparison tabs were generated by AI within Documents Live, drawing content directly from the Documents Live documentation.
The result? Professional marketing content, created instantly, with zero manual formatting. This is what Documents Live makes possible: your structured knowledge becomes your competitive edge.
