Overview

Important

This older Ribbon product has been deprecated in favor of the newer ribbon implementation in the Bars product, which has a much-improved design and appearance, and many of the latest features currently found in Office. This product will be removed in a future release, so it is recommended to migrate away from this older Ribbon product to the newer Bars ribbon when possible.

Interactive controls are controls that are located throughout the ribbon user interface and in menus and are the ones that end users primarily interact with.
