+# About
+
+This page describes unintuitive tasks that are commonly done in the process of
+installing Odoo and its addons.
+
+
+# Debug Mode
+
+You can enable debug mode through the web GUI at the bottom of the Settings
+app's page or by changing the portion of the url that reads `web#` to
+`web?debug=1#`. For example:
+```
+https://wifast.net/web#action=153&cids=1&menu_id=114
+```
+becomes
+```
+https://wifast.net/web?debug=1#action=153&cids=1&menu_id=114
+```
+You'll know you're in debug mode when you see a bug icon in the right side of
+the page header.
+
+
+# Installing Modules
+
+After having placed the module's files in the proper directory you can install
+it in one of two ways:
+
+- Frontend install:
+    1- Get into debug mode.
+    2- Go to the Apps app.
+    3- Click the "Update Apps List" in the page header.
+    4- Search for your new module and install it.
+- Backend install:
+    1- Restart the Odoo instance with the -u flag with your app's name as an
+    argument (eg.: `-u crm` to install the CRM module)
+
+Note: The backend option is preferable for developers as it's quicker and more
+verbose.
+
+
+# Importing Records
+In prior versions of Odoo the Import button was next to the Create button on
+all views. In version 14.0 the Odoo team moved it into the Favorites submenu
+because new users would often hit it by mistake and get confused (!!!).
+
+Until they fix this idiotic design choice you can still find the feature at
+`Favorites > Import Records`
