To do:

Customization:

There are many features still locked and need to finish. Also,

  • The use registrymodifications.xcu to retrieve the configuration and use them during an update is not complete.
  • It would be better to open the customization dialog based on the tab opened in the Notebookbar interface.

Extension :

  • The task to add extension anywhere in the NotebookBar
  • Checking the compatibility with other Notebookbar interfaces(other than Tabbed) and refine the existing work.
