Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about installation, configuration, and using the app. If you don't see your question here, feel free to reach out - we're happy to help!

What is the Classic Edit & Save Mode app?

This app restores the classic Edit & Save workflow in Odoo, making all form views readonly by default and allowing edits only after clicking the explicit Edit button. It helps prevent accidental data changes.
How does the Edit button work?

When you open a form view, all fields are readonly. Click the Edit button in the header to enable field editing. After making changes, Save or Discard buttons appear to control your updates.
Can I prevent accidental changes?

Yes! Forms are readonly by default, and unsaved changes trigger a confirmation popup when switching records, ensuring you never lose or accidentally overwrite data.
How does the Save and Discard functionality work?

After editing a record, the Save button commits your changes while the Discard button reverts them. Once saved, the form returns to readonly mode automatically, requiring Edit again for further changes.
What happens if I navigate away with unsaved changes?

A confirmation popup appears asking whether to Save or Discard your changes before moving to another record, preventing accidental loss or modification of data.
Is this app compatible with newer Odoo versions?

Yes! It works with Odoo v17, v18, v19 and restores the classic Edit & Save workflow from Odoo v15.
Do I need technical knowledge to use this app?

No technical skills or coding are required. The app works dynamically with the Odoo interface, making form editing safer and more controlled without customization.
Can I customize which users can edit records?

While the app does not restrict access by user groups, it ensures that all edits are intentional, giving control over data modifications and preventing accidental changes.
Do you provide support after purchase?

Yes! Support is available via email at odoohubofficial@gmail.com for installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
