Check your document for errors
It is important to solve any issues that appear under Logs and output files in the top right corner in Overleaf.
Stop on First Error compilation mode. Learning to debug errors is an essential part of learning LaTeX. Enabling the Stop on first error mode can quickly detect your errors (if any). Helps to debug compile timeouts. Don’t let your errors pile up!
Overleaf has its own error guide, but you may use Google to find tips on how to fix errors in your document. We recommend doing it every time you get an error while you work.
