Custom ribbon makes it easier for a user to add and remove the commands icons, custom the order of the tabs and groups, and change the names of the tabs and groups. These are some benefits of custom ribbon in Excel with some use cases.

1. Customize which tab you want to display on the ribbon and which one you do not want to display.

In Custom Ribbon, you can add which tab you want to display on the ribbon and remove the tab you do not want to display. To add the tab you want to display on the ribbon, you can simply click the main tab on the left and then click the ‘add >>’ button. To remove the tab from the ribbon, click the tab on the right and then click ‘<< remove’.

 

2. Customize which icon you want to put on each tab.

Each tab has some groups of icons. To add an icon to the tab, click the icon of the tab on the left and then click the ‘add >>’ button. To remove an icon, click the icon of the tab on the right and then click ‘<< remove’.

 

3. Create new tabs and groups.

Not only to add and remove tabs or groups, but the custom ribbon also allows you to create new tabs or groups by clicking the ‘New Tab’ and ‘New Group’ button. You can also rename the new tab and group by clicking the ‘Rename’ button. To add the icon to the new group, you can just click the icon you want to add on the left, and then click the new icon on the right. When you already click the correct icon on the correct group and tab, you can click the ‘Add >>’ button. When you click the tab where the icon is already in the ribbon tabs, there will be a pop-up message to inform you that you can only add the icon to the custom group.

 

4. Customize the order of the tabs.

The next benefit of custom ribbon in Excel is that you can customize the order of the tabs and groups. To move the tab or group, simply click the tab or the group and then click the button on the right side. The top button is for moving the tab or group to the right and the bottom button is for moving the tab to the left on the ribbon. Those are the benefits of custom ribbon and some use cases in Excel. With custom ribbon, manage your ribbon tabs as you want.
