Disable Studio
Completely remove Odoo Studio from your instance â protect against accidental customizations, improve performance, and secure your production environment
- Complete Studio Removal â Removes the Studio button from the UI, the systray icon, and the list view âEdit in Studioâ menu.
- Service-Level Block â Overrides the Studio service to return a noâop implementation, preventing any programmatic access.
- Safe for Production â Protects your production database from unintended customizations that could break your processes.
- Lightweight & NonâIntrusive â The module only patches a few components; it does not modify any data or business logic.
- Zero Configuration â Just install and Studio is gone. No settings to tweak.
The module disables Studio at four different layers to ensure it cannot be accessed from any entry point:
- List View âEdit in Studioâ Menu removing the action from the list view context menu.
- Systray Icon â Overrides the Studio systray itemâs hiding the Studio icon from the top bar.
- Studio Service â Replaces the global Studio service with a dummy implementation that does nothing, preventing any programmatic calls to open Studio.
- Worksheet Open Studio Button â Inherits the worksheet template and removes the Studio button from the dashboard widgets (if present).

Q: Does this module uninstall the Studio app?
A: No. It only disables the UI and service access. The Studio module remains installed but is effectively hidden and unusable.
Q: Can Studio be reâenabled without uninstalling the module?
A: No. The module overrides core components; the only way to restore Studio is to uninstall this module.
Q: Will this affect any other functionality?
A: No. The module only targets Studioâspecific code paths. Other parts of the system remain untouched.
Q: What if a custom module tries to open Studio programmatically?
A: The dummy service will ignore the call, so nothing happens. No errors are raised.
Q: Is there any performance improvement?
A: Yes, the Studio assets are not loaded, reducing initial page load time and JavaScript parsing overhead.
