AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds a toggle button to backend form views that lets users show or hide the chatter panel, giving more space to the form fields when needed.

This module adds a small button next to the chatter area on form views in the Odoo backend. Clicking the button collapses or expands the chatter panel, so users can focus on the main form content or quickly access messages and activities.

  • The toggle button appears automatically on any form view that includes a chatter (for example, sales orders, contacts, or any custom model with mail.thread).
  • When collapsed, the chatter is hidden and the form sheet expands to use the full width; when expanded, the chatter returns to its normal side panel.
  • On mobile or narrow screens, the layout switches to a stacked view and the toggle button is hidden, so the chatter is always visible in a mobile-friendly way.
  • The button icon changes direction (left/right arrow) to indicate the current state, and its label updates for accessibility.
  • The module works purely on the user interface; it does not change any data, business rules, or server-side behaviour.

It touches the form view rendering and compiler in the web client, but does not add new models, menus, or database fields.
