The PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon

each tab containing groups of controls. Each tab on the Ribbon displays the commands that are
most relevant to a given feature set. The built-in Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar contain
commands that are frequently used and convenient to keep close at hand. You can minimize
the Ribbon, and choose the position of the Quick Access Toolbar, as well as the commands it
displays.
