Standard vs. Inherited
**********************
Base vs. Inherited vs. Duplicated
*********************************

- **Standard views** are base views implemented by Odoo. They are directly derived from their model.
You should never change them as they allow updating an Odoo database without overwriting a
client's modifications.
- **Inherited views** are duplicated views. Modifications always take place in an inherited view. If
there is a duplicate view, there will be two views with the same name in the database, but the
duplicated view will not have an ID like for standard view.
- **Base view:** View natively implemented by Odoo. It is directly derived from their model.
A base view should never be altered as it allows updating an Odoo database without overwriting a
client's modification.

Modifications always take place in either a duplicated or inherited view with some differences:

- **Inherited view** always has an `inherit_id` and applies modifications based on the source
code of the base view it inherits from.
- **Duplicated view** is a duplication from another one. Most of the time this kind of view is
created by Odoo when the end-user applies modifications through the Website Builder. This
mechanism prevents data loss when the module is updated because only the source view will be
updated, not the duplicated one. If a duplicated view exists, both the original view and the
duplicated one are visible in the list but only the duplicated one has an `external_id` (an
`external_id` set means that the view has been created by the source code of a module).
