Odoo Studio: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Studio customizes without code: add fields, tweak views, build simple models and automations from the UI — the right tool for the 80% of changes that never needed a developer.
Its limits are real (complex logic, performance-sensitive code, upgrade hygiene), and knowing where Studio ends and a proper module begins is most of the craft — it is the exact line our customization practice draws for clients.

The mechanics that matter in Odoo Studio
- Field, view and report editing from the browser, per company
- Automations: triggers, conditions and actions without server code
- Approval rules and simple custom models
- Exportable customizations — but module-based builds upgrade cleaner, which is where we take over
