28 Stats Mode

What is Stats Mode?

Stats Mode was introduced in Origin 2025b to focus on statistics routine. It simplifies the Origin interface by hiding most graph toolbar buttons and advanced analysis tools, and reorganizes Graph menu to make statistical graphs easier to navigate and use. It also comes with preinstalled some popular statistical apps, e.g. DOE.

Since Stats Mode keeps only basic menus and buttons, if you cannot find a tool from the interface, enter the command or button name in the Search bar next to the main menu to find and run it.

How to Enable Stats Mode?
