Odoo releases a new major version every year — and each one brings performance gains, new features and security updates. But a rushed migration can break customizations and disrupt operations. Here’s how to upgrade safely.
Before You Migrate
- Audit your custom modules — every customization must be compatible with the target version
- Freeze changes — stop new developments during migration week
- Back up everything — database and filestore, verified restorable
- Test on a staging copy — never migrate directly on production first
The Migration Process
A professional migration runs in clear steps: clone production to staging, upgrade the database, fix and adapt custom modules, migrate integrations (payments, shipping, accounting), validate data integrity, then run user acceptance testing before a carefully planned go-live.
Choosing Migration Help
