Customize or Reset Your Menu Ribbon (Navigation Options)

If your uBuyFirst top menu (ribbon) looks different, or if you want to rearrange, hide, or create a new custom menu layout, this guide will walk you through how to customize, reset, or export your ribbon configuration.

Access the Ribbon Customization Panel

To open the customization interface:

Right-click anywhere on the top blue ribbon area (on or near Home, Grid, Options, etc.)

Click Customize the Ribbon**

You’ll see the following window appear:

Understanding the Layout

Focus on the right-hand panel, this is where you control your ribbon layout.

Parent Tabs (e.g., Home, Grid, Options) represent the top-level navigation categories
Groups inside those tabs (e.g., “Keywords” or “Checkout”) contain the actual features/buttons

You can:

Check or uncheck entire tabs or groups to show/hide them
Use the arrow buttons to reorder the tabs or groups
Click New Tab or New Group to organize your tools your way
Remove unused elements by unchecking them

Resetting the Ribbon

If your menu changes unexpectedly, or if you just want to start fresh, use the Reset options:

Reset only selected Ribbon tab → Resets just the tab you have highlighted
Reset all customizations → Reverts the entire ribbon layout to default

Find the Reset button in the bottom-left corner of the customization window.

💡 Useful if you accidentally hid important features or want to undo changes quickly.

Back Up or Export Your Ribbon Setup

Before making changes (especially large ones), you can preserve your layout using:

Import/Export (bottom-right in the same window)

Export your current ribbon layout for reuse
Re-import it if something breaks
Or do a full app settings backup

🔐 Exporting ribbon layout is a safer and more focused option if you only want to back up UI changes.

When Should You Use This?

You’re missing a ribbon option or group
You want to rearrange tabs based on your workflow
You want to create a custom quick-access tab
You want to clean up unused tabs to reduce clutter
