          Yup. When I rerun my things, in latex I just overwrite the plots file (pdf/png) and compile latex. In word I have to find where it was and replace it there. It’s way easier on latex if you make your code just write plot files in the same location.

              Yup simlink is so nice. I sometimes use it for color vs monocrome plots. Change simlink and compile. Although I learned you can also use if statements in latex, I use that now.

      Exactly. Give them a bunch of setup, let them set it up as normal.

      Then tell everyone to resize the second pictures and move all images from the side of the page to the right. Then see who does it first.
