can be used directly.

Please note that free Overleaf accounts have reduced their compile timeouts to only 20 seconds since the end of 2023. This means that larger theses and this template document can no longer be created with it because the PDF generation aborts after 20 seconds.

The only workaround is to purchase a paid account (license) or ditch Overleaf entirely and switch to a local setup. In educational institutions that provide licenses for teachers, they can create a document and share it with students to collaborate, ensuring a smooth workflow.
