</Info>

LaTeX Cloud Studio supports multiple ways to start a project and manage its files once you are inside the editor.

## Start a Project

You can currently start work by:

* Creating a blank project
* Starting from a documentation template
* Uploading an existing LaTeX project
* Importing a ZIP archive
* Importing a GitHub repository through the GitHub flow

## File Management

Inside a project you can:

* Organize files and folders
* Upload source files and assets
* Search project contents
* Open version history and snapshots
* Export project contents as a ZIP when you need a portable backup

## Templates

The public docs currently expose starter templates for:

* [Article](/templates/article)
* [Thesis](/templates/thesis)
* [CV](/templates/cv)
* [Presentation](/templates/presentation)

## Migration Notes

<Warning>
  This public docs set does **not** currently document a direct "connect your Overleaf account" migration flow as a shipped capability. If you are moving an existing project today, use a ZIP-based transfer or GitHub where appropriate.
</Warning>
