Introducing the all-New Knowledge App
We live in an era of too much information, which sometimes makes it even more challenging to get an answer.
Especially with the increasing adoption of remote work culture, you might have information scattered over your emails, spreadsheets, word files, and whatnot.
So, here comes the all-new Knowledge app in Odoo 16, whose purpose is to prevent you from drowning in all these scattered seas of information and have a single source of truth for everyone.

Website and eCommerce in Odoo 16

Dashboards are converted into Spreadsheets-based reports
With improved Spreadsheets, you can now see records on the List function, convert XLSX files to the Odoo Spreadsheet format, or use a new set of functions.
Odoo Spreadsheet has become the first open-source solution that lets you edit sheets collaboratively and import/export Excel files seamlessly – supporting tables, charts, frozen panes, hidden columns and rows, and 200+ functions.
As you can see, Odoo 16 can be your companion in many ways, be it building a business idea from scratch or enhancing existing business processes.
