Ribbon Panels
Ribbon tabs can be displayed on the ribbon with a workspace or based on a
contextual tab state when they are needed.
By customizing ribbon panels, you can organize commands that you use
frequently similar to toolbars. With ribbon panels, you can quickly access
commands, and reduce the number of user interface elements that are
displayed.
Overview of Ribbon Panels
Ribbon panels are organized by rows, sub-panels, and slideout elements. Rows
and sub-panels are used to organize how commands and controls are displayed
on the ribbon panel. A slideout is automatically added to each ribbon panel
and controls which rows are shown by default. Rows located below a slideout
are displayed only when a ribbon panel is expanded.
