Hi @Mehmet_Fatih_Turker 

I think that's possible. I'm currently testing something similar. but still not finished yet.
But what i can gurantiee that you can get the Command control and Button definitions and add them to any Ribbon Tab you wish and it will do the same job.

Here is an example of how to get any button definition

Dim oDef As ButtonDefinition

Set oDef = ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppLocalUpdateCmd") ' Change the '"AppLocalUpdateCmd" with the button you wish

Then Add it to any Ribbon or Ribbon Tabs you wish

Dim oRibbons As Ribbons

Set oRibbons = ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.Ribbons

Dim oRibbon As Ribbon

Set oRibbon = oRibbons("Assembly")
Dim oRibbonTab As RibbonTab
Set oRibbonTab = oRibbon.RibbonTabs("Please insert the Tab Internal Name")
Dim oAssRibbonPanel As RibbonPanel

Set oAssRibbonPanel = oRibbonTab.RibbonPanels.Item("Please insert the Tab Internal Name")

Dim oCMDControl As CommandControl

set oCMDControl = oRibbonTab.CommandControls.AddButton(oDef)

Hope this helps you to move forward!
