How to Install a Module on Odoo SaaS

Setting up a module in Odoo SaaS is straightforward when you follow these steps.

If you want to test changes safely, create a duplicate of your database before installing new modules. This way, you can experiment without affecting your live data. Use the 'Duplicate Database' option under the database management section. Test everything in the copied environment first, then apply changes to your main database once you’re confident.
