Customising your ribbon

Not every tool needs to be on your ribbon. Use Ribbon Settings (tool 06) to:

Show only the tools your team uses
Group tools into custom panels and ribbons
Reorder buttons to match your workflow

Any tool hidden from the ribbon is still accessible via the Ribbon Settings tool list.
