In Odoo 17 Community Edition, a significant emphasis has been placed on improving the overall look and feel of the interface, including templates and buttons. The default templates for various modules and documents have been updated to align with contemporary design trends. Whether you're creating invoices, quotes, or marketing materials, you'll find cleaner, more professional templates to work with.
In Odoo 17, the search interface has undergone a significant transformation, presenting a new and improved look.
A "Draggable Wizard" is a user interface feature that allows users to move and reposition a wizard dialog box on their screen by clicking and dragging it.

2. Contract Expiration: A new option has been introduced, allowing users to define both the "Contract Expiration Notice Period" and the "Work Permit Expiration Notice Period." This feature provides organizations with greater control over managing employee contracts and work permits, ensuring timely notifications and compliance with expiration dates. This can be a valuable addition to human resources and compliance management, streamlining administrative processes and helping businesses stay organized and compliant with legal requirements.
3. Org Chart: Another noteworthy feature in the employee module is the introduction of the "Org Chart."
