Recent reviews
It is a very useful extension for everyone using ShareLatex online editor. The tab feature makes the editor so much more functional, especially for large projects. There's but one small problem - the tabs don't save at the moment. However, it's only a bug that's hopefully going to get fixed soon.
I didn't realise how much SLext helped with Sharelatex until it didn't work anymore. Please fix.
This totally changed ShareLatex, could not be better !!
