Article Creation and Organization
With Odoo 18’s Knowledge Module you are now able to create and organize your content easily by accessing the following abilities:
- Rich Text Editing: Odoo has tools that allow you to format your text, add images, tables, code sections, and more, making the articles visually appealing and easier to read and comprehend.

- Excalidraw: It’s now also possible to add a Excalidraw Board to your articles, which will provide a visual element that will improve the understanding and clarity.

- Organization: You can now attach articles to one topic. As can be seen in the image below we can have a topic called “Help” with different articles containing tips for Sales, Marketing or Human Resources.
