Exporting and Sharing Content

Corca allows you to export your documents into standard formats for sharing, publishing, printing, or further editing. Export preserves mathematical expressions, formatting, tables, images, graphs, and layout.

The exported files are designed to be compatible with common tools such as LaTeX editors, PDF viewers, and Overleaf.

Available export formats

Opening the export menu

To export a document, click Download in the bottom-right panelю A menu appears with available export options:

Exporting to PDF

PDF export creates a formatted document ready for distribution. Just click the Download PDF and Corca will save the PDF version of your work to your device.

Exporting to LaTeX

LaTeX export produces a .tex file containing the document source.

Click the Download LaTeX button and the .tex file will be saved to your computer.

You can also copy any content from Corca and paste it into a LaTeX editor.

Exporting to Overleaf

You can open the document directly in Overleaf.

1. Click Open in Overleaf

2. The document is uploaded

3. Overleaf opens with the compiled project

The project includes LaTex source, images, and all the formatting.

Unicode and language support

Export uses XeLaTeX by default.

Sharing and collaboration

Corca is built around shared documents and shared workspaces. Multiple people can work on the same document, review results, extend calculations, reorganize content, or continue someone else’s work without creating separate copies or manually merging changes.

When multiple users open the same document, edits appear immediately. There is no manual refresh or sync step.

Corca shows who is currently active in the document through user avatars. Each collaborator is displayed with a unique color so activity stays easy to follow.

Sharing documents

Documents can be shared directly with users, through links, or through team workspaces.

To share a document:

1. Open the document

2. Click Share

3. Choose permissions

4. Copy the link or invite collaborators

Once shared, collaborators immediately receive access according to their permission level.

Permission levels

Permissions define what collaborators can do inside a document.

Read-only mode

Some shared documents are intentionally view-only. In read-only mode:

• editing is disabled

• formatting controls are hidden

• structural changes are blocked

• text selection and copying still work normally

This mode is commonly used for documentation, published notes, reference material, shared results, and course content.

Public documents

Documents can also be made fully public. Anyone with the link can read the document while editing stays restricted to approved users.

Forking documents

Forking creates an independent copy of a document. This is useful when someone wants to reuse or adapt existing work without modifying the original.

Automatic updates and conflict handling

All collaborators receive updates automatically. This includes edits, renamed documents, moved folders, deleted content, and newly created content.

When multiple users edit simultaneously, Corca merges changes automatically while preserving document structure and cursor stability. Manual conflict resolution is rarely required.
