Ribbon customization feature does not work

I have noticed that the Ribbon customization feature in Studio 2017 does not work properly.

I can‘t disable any unused default buttons like GroupShare, because after clearing the corresponding flags these buttons automatically reappear after restarting the Studio or after the customization of another ribbon.

Moreover, the arrangement of buttons changes after the restart (Bookmarks group moves at the beginning of the ribbon), and as far as I cannot change the arrangement of default groups (Up and Down buttons are grayed out) it is very annoying.

Is there some kind of limit? Or this is a bug?

  • Hi Roman,

    Did you check the help?

    This part is probably relevant:

    Limitations

    In the Customize Ribbon dialog box, you can add new tabs and groups and move them around to change their display order on the ribbon. Currently, this imposes the following limitations:

    • you cannot move the default Home, View, Add-ins or Help tabs. Similarly, you cannot move the groups or actions that these default tabs contain.
    • you cannot move custom groups within the default tabs. This means that inside default tabs, you can only add custom groups at the top of the existing ones. On the ribbon, these will be then be displayed on the left hand-side of existing groups. However, within your own tabs, you can freely move your custom groups.
    • you cannot add a number of dynamic, context-dependent commands. For example, some Formatting, QuickInsert and Review actions like adding comments may depend on the type of file to which you will apply these actions and cannot be made available for ribbon or quick access toolbar customization.
