Hi Jason,

The tabs and items in the ribbon toolbar menu can be hidden or shown using ribbon customization. However, the File tab and File menu cannot be hidden from the component.

Instead, you can clear the File menu options by assigning an empty list to fileMenuItems, as shown below:

 

[fileMenuItems]="fileMenuItems"

 

public fileMenuItems: any = [];

Hi Vincent, unfortunately it's not a suitable solution as it's confusing for users if there's a File tab with no menu items present.

Are there any alternative solutions?

Hi Jason,

Based on your requirement, we have provided an alternate approach to achieve it. In Document Editor, there is an option for BackStageMenu. If you enable this option, the File tab will be automatically removed, allowing you to use the Backstage menu instead.

We recommend adding the Backstage menu in the Document Editor and keeping the Backstage menu items empty so that no options are displayed. We have prepared a sample for your reference. Kindly review it and let us know if you need further assistance.
