Customize the memoQ ribbon

memoQ has several default ribbons: Project, Documents, Preparation, Translation, Review, Edit, View. There are many more that appear only when you're managing or editing resources, or you're editing alignment pairs.

Project managers have Workflow: In the project manager edition of memoQ, there is a Workflow ribbon, too.

To collect frequently used commands: Use the Quick Access ribbon or the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar is always at the very top of the memoQ window. (If you can't find it, look left.)

You can customize the Quick Access ribbon, the Workflow ribbon, and the Quick Access Toolbar.
