Exploring the Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access Toolbar debuted in Excel 2007 and has been a mainstay of Excel’s Ribbon up until the upcoming visual refresh that Microsoft is slowly rolling out to Microsoft 365 users as of this writing. As shown in Figure 3.1, the Undo and Redo commands have traditionally appeared on the Quick Access Toolbar:

As you can see in Figure 3.2, the Undo and Redo buttons are moving to the Home tab of Excel’s Ribbon as part of the update to Excel’s user interface. Oddly, in these new Excel builds, the Quick Access Toolbar is automatically hidden if you haven’t customized it previously. These changes will occur unbidden by you once Microsoft pushes the update out to your computer:
