Developer mode unlocks advanced technical features and tools within
Odoo. Once enabled, it allows customization of views, reports,
templates, fields, and menus. Users can also access additional
filters, actions, and technical settings. There are several ways to
activate developer mode:
Activate via URL:
To enable developer mode from any screen in the database, simply add
?debug=1 at the end of the URL (e.g.,
https://example.odoo.com/odoo?debug=1).
To turn it off, replace it with ?debug=0 in the URL.
Activate through Settings:
Go to Settings → Developer Tools and click the link to activate
developer mode.
To deactivate developer mode, navigate to Settings → Developer Tools
and click the “Deactivate the developer mode” link.
Press Ctrl + K to open the command palette. Type "debug", and you’ll
see options like "Activate debug mode" and "Activate debug mode
(with assets)". Select the desired option to enable developer mode
instantly.
Activate Using a Browser Extension:
Install the "Odoo Debug" extension from your browser’s extension
store. Once installed, an icon will appear next to the address bar.
Simply click this icon to toggle developer mode on or off without
modifying the URL manually.
Once developer mode is enabled, clicking the extension icon again
will disable it instantly.
