Flex Chatter Panel
A smarter chatter experience for Odoo all form views
Flex Chatter Panel transforms the standard Odoo chatter into a flexible workspace tool. Users can resize, dock, or pop out the panel — giving more room to the form while keeping conversations just one click away. Works on every model with a standard chatter, with no configuration needed to get started.
Drag to Resize
Grab the panel edge and pull to any width
Panel width is saved per user — no need to re-adjust after every login
Dock to Slim Strip
Collapse chatter to maximize your form space instantly
One click to dock, one click to expand — dock state is remembered per user across sessions
Pop-out Floating Window
Detach the chatter into a free-floating window you can move anywhere
Keep the full form view visible while reading messages — ideal for detailed data entry
Admin Configuration Panel
Settings → Discuss → Flex Chatter Panel
