Introduction:-
The Ribbon Workbench for MS Dynamic CRM is a tool written to make customizing the Ribbon easier and quicker. The Ribbon is the user interface element that appears at the top of all recent Microsoft Applications, and was the successor to the old ‘toolbar’. Rather than have a single toolbar that was full of all command buttons and a set of drop-down menus that could be multiple layers deep.
The Ribbon Workbench for CRM was written to provide a ‘drag and drop’ developer experience that allows all customization scenarios to give complete control over your CRM ribbon & command bar
