Where Is Ribbon in Modern SharePoint Site?

One of the most noticeable changes in the Modern SharePoint site is the missing ribbon. In the new Modern SharePoint site, they have replaced the old ribbon with Command bar that contains simple functions that you can use. 



The list below are the functions which would be missing from the Modern SharePoint site:

  • Popularity trends

  • RSS Feed

  • Most Popular Items

  • Connect to Outlook

  • Connect to Office

  • Open with Access

  • Form Web Parts

  • Edit Library

  • New Quick-Step

  • Declare Record


Note: For all the above options, until Microsoft bring them back to Modern SharePoint, you will have to rely on Classic SharePoint experience to use it.


Please follow this article if you want to know more about the new functions and alternatives to use in modern experience.
