You can customize the ribbon using the following methods,

Method	Action

`enableRibbonTabs`	Used to enable or disable the existing
ribbon tabs.
`addRibbonTabs`	Used to add custom ribbon tabs.
`hideToolbarItems`	Used to show or hide the existing ribbon
toolbar items.
`enableToolbarItems`	Used to enable or disable the specified
toolbar items.
`addToolbarItems`	Used to add the custom items in ribbon
toolbar.
`hideFileMenuItems`	Used to show or hide the ribbon file menu
items.
`enableFileMenuItems`	Used to enable or disable file menu items.
