# Developer mode (debug mode)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The developer mode, also known as debug mode, unlocks access to advanced {ref}`tools and settings
|
||
|
|
<developer-mode/tools>` in Odoo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:::{warning}
|
||
|
|
Proceed with caution, as some developer tools and technical settings are considered advanced and
|
||
|
|
may have associated risks. Only use them if you understand the implications and are confident in
|
||
|
|
your actions.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:::{note}
|
||
|
|
The developer mode is also available with {ref}`assets <frontend/framework/assets_debug_mode>`,
|
||
|
|
which are used to debug JavaScript code, and with {ref}`tests assets
|
||
|
|
<frontend/framework/tests_debug_mode>`, which are used to run test tours.

## Activation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To activate it, open the {guilabel}`Settings` app, scroll down to the {guilabel}`Developer Tools`
|
||
|
|
section, and click {guilabel}`Activate the developer mode`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once activated, the {guilabel}`Deactivate the developer mode` option becomes available.

|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To activate the developer mode **from anywhere in the database**, add `?debug=1` at the end of the
|
||
|
|
URL (e.g., `https://example.odoo.com/odoo?debug=1`). To deactivate it, use `?debug=0` instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use `?debug=assets` to activate the developer mode with assets and `?debug=tests` to activate it
|
||
|
|
with tests assets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:::{tip}
|
||
|
|
Open the **command palette** by pressing `Ctrl + K` or `Cmd ⌘ + K`, then type `debug` to
|
||
|
|
activate the developer mode with assets or deactivate it.

:::{admonition} Browser extension
|
||
|
|
The [Odoo Debug](https://github.com/Droggol/OdooDebug) browser extension adds an icon to toggle
|
||
|
|
developer mode on or off from the browser's toolbar. It is available on the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/odoo-debug/hmdmhilocobgohohpdpolmibjklfgkbi) and
|
||
|
|
[Firefox Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/odoo-debug/).

## Developer tools and technical menu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the developer mode is activated, the developer tools can be accessed by clicking the
|
||
|
|
{icon}`fa-bug` {guilabel}`(bug)` icon. The menu contains tools useful for understanding or editing
|
||
|
|
technical data, such as a view's field, filters, or actions. The options available depend on where
|
||
|
|
the menu is accessed from.

|

|

|
||
|
|
Database administrators can access the technical menu from the {guilabel}`Settings` app. It contains
|
||
|
|
advanced database settings, such as ones related to the database structure, security, actions, etc.
