In Short
Odoo Documentation Builder is an Odoo Website app. The tool to create website documentation based on your knowledge base.
Odoo Documentation Builder turns KnowSystem articles into polished website documentation for products, projects, policies, and support. Reuse the same article in several manuals, organize pages by categories and sections, generate documentation pages automatically, add search and table-of-contents navigation, publish for portal or public users, and manage version-specific content without duplicating every article.
Perfect for
Product documentation
Build searchable manuals from reusable KnowSystem articles and keep version-specific details under control.
Help centers
Publish structured help pages with categories, previews, search, and guided navigation for customer self-service.
Partner documentation
Share selected documentation with portal partners while keeping restricted articles hidden or clearly marked.
Software versions
Document multiple releases without rewriting common articles for every product or Odoo version.
Training materials
Group policies, onboarding guides, and procedures into easy-to-read documentation sections.
Knowledge-heavy sites
Turn a large article library into coherent chapters that readers can browse, search, and print.
Why teams choose it
Key benefits of the app
Structured documentation
Build unlimited documentation pages organized by categories and sections, with preview text, cover images, introductions, and footer blocks where needed.
Simple to prepare
Create a documentation section by selecting and ordering KnowSystem articles manually, or add selected articles from the single-view interface in bulk.
Automatic table of contents
Generate navigation from article headers, choose the header depth, and let readers jump to the needed section while the panel follows their scroll.
Instant documentation search
Search documentation sections and included article content, browse matches with arrows, and choose header-only or case-sensitive search when precision matters.
Documentation versioning
Assign versions to sections and individual articles so common material stays shared while release-specific content appears only for the selected version.
Secure publishing
Publish documentation for public users, share it with portal partners by tags, and decide whether restricted articles are hidden, warned about, or shown.
Articles stay reusable
Use one KnowSystem article in several documentation sections, track where it is used, and include article attachments when the documentation should expose them.
Multi-website ready
Configure portal and public documentation per website, expose a Docs menu, and let users edit documentation sections from the frontend when allowed.

Free personalized demo. No phone number or credit card required. Free life-time updates and expert support within the major Odoo version.
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- Every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
- Starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
- Disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Please note that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.
The most straightforward approach is to use the Odoo store's built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Log in to your account, then click 'Create a new repo' or use an existing one. Please ensure your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click the Deploy button. In the pop-up window, submit the decision and click 'Continue.' This action will trigger the installation process.
These steps will install the app for your project's production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Ensure none of the app folders/files are ignored (i.e., not included in your repo's .gitignore). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh and may include some crucial items by default (e.g., /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or, if your settings assume that, wait until it is automatically built.
2. Re-start the Odoo server;
3. Turn on developer mode (technical settings);
4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
5. Find the app and push the button 'Activate'/'Install';
6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Simultaneously, Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart, so you should exclude previously purchased tools to avoid double payment.
A red/orange warning does not influence the app's features. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests since the latter assume behavior that conflicts with our app's goals. For example, we change the price calculation, while the standard Odoo module tests compare the final price to a standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check the deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that the warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full list of deployed modules (including core and third-party ones).
No, we only distribute the tools through the official Odoo apps store.
Regretfully, we do not have the technical means to provide individual prices.
No, third-party apps can not be used on Odoo Online. Unfortunately, Odoo SaaS blocks such a possibility.
Yes, our tool requires all modules marked in dependencies to work correctly. The price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set in euros. The Odoo store converts prices to other currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change when the exchange rate is updated.
