The Ribbon configuration toolbar (RibbonConfigToolBar) provides another way for the user to place commonly used commands. Unlike the QAT, the configuration toolbar cannot be changed by the user or moved below the Ribbon. The configuration toolbar is always located in the upper-right corner of the Ribbon on the same level as the Ribbon tabs. The following Ribbon shows the configuration toolbar with one Ribbon button item (Help):

You can add or remove Ribbon items to the configuration toolbar to customize it to fit your needs. By placing the items in the configuration toolbar, you eliminate the need to hunt through tabs and groups since your items are now in the forefront.
