InsertBefore does not work in Excel Desktop while it does not in Excel Online. #4015

This must be very easy to reproduce:

  1. Create a manifest.xml file with a Custom Tab
  2. Add the following Tag right before end of CustomTab: 
    <CustomTab>
.......
<InsertBefore>TabHelp</InsertBefore>
</CustomTab>
  3. It places the Ribbon Tab correctly right before the Help Tab in Excel Online while it does not work in Excel Desktop and places the Tab at the end right after the help Tab.

It happened on Excel PC Desktop version 2312

Thanks for reporting the issue. We will take a look shortly. + @zhenhuangMSFT to isolate the root reason.

@georgehatg thanks for reporting the issue. According to our official document, the InsertBefore element is only available in PowerPoint. See more details https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/manifest/customtab?view=common-js-preview#insertbefore.

Hallo,

As you can see in the following Image it is supported just fine in Excel Online, so why have something that is partially supported?
