Apps and modules
================
You can :ref:`install <general/install>`, :ref:`upgrade <general/upgrade>` and :ref:`uninstall
<general/uninstall>` all apps and modules from the :menuselection:`Apps` dashboard.
By default, an *Apps* filter is applied. If you want to search for modules, click on
*Filters* and select *Extra*.

.. warning::
Odoo is *not a smartphone*, and its apps shouldn't be installed or uninstalled carelessly. Apply
caution when adding or removing apps and modules on your database since this may impact your
subscription costs.
- | **Installing or uninstalling apps and managing users is up to you.**
| As the administrator of your database, you are responsible for its usage, as you know best
how your organization works.
- | **Odoo apps have dependencies.**
| Installing some apps and features with dependencies may also install additional apps and
modules that are technically required, even if you won't actively use them.
- | **Test app installation/removal on a duplicate of your database.**
| This way, you can know what app dependencies may be required or what data may be erased.
.. _general/install:
Install apps and modules
========================
Go to :menuselection:`Apps`, and click on the *Install* button of the app you want to install.

To do so, activate the :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Apps
--> Update Apps List` and click on *Update*.
.. _general/upgrade:
Upgrade apps and modules
========================
On some occasions, new improvements or app features are added to :doc:`supported versions of Odoo
2022-11-22 17:17:17 +00:00
</administration/maintain/supported_versions>`. To be able to use them, you must **upgrade** your
app.
Go to :menuselection:`Apps`, click on the *dropdown menu* of the app you want to upgrade, then on
*Upgrade*.
.. _general/uninstall:

*Uninstall*.
.. image:: apps_modules/uninstall.png
:align: center
Some apps have dependencies, meaning that one app requires another. Therefore, uninstalling one app
2022-11-22 17:17:17 +00:00
may uninstall multiple apps and modules. Odoo warns you which dependent apps and modules are
affected by it.

To complete the uninstallation, click on *Confirm*.
.. danger::
Uninstalling an app also uninstalls all its dependencies and permanently erases their data.
