Canvas for Odoo 19
Collaborative Excalidraw canvases inside Documents and Knowledge
Canvas adds Excalidraw-powered whiteboards to Odoo Enterprise without external services, CDN assets, or activation keys. Draw diagrams, process maps, sketches, and visual notes directly from Documents or Knowledge while keeping Odoo as the storage and permission layer.
Documents-native canvases
Create canvases from Documents and keep them as normal document records with previews,
thumbnails, viewer support, and stable downloads using the .excalidraw extension.
Knowledge-backed storage
Attach a canvas to a Knowledge article while storing the file in Documents. Article visibility, members, archive state, and metadata are mirrored safely to the backing document.
Local Excalidraw assets
The editor assets are vendored with the module. The app does not require a third-party account, external API, remote CDN, or separate installation step.
