In Pro 3.5, how to move quick access toolbar below ribbon

CathyAppleton — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 13:03:02 GMT

Hi,

We just moved from 3.3 to 3.5 and I noticed the quick access toolbar was above the ribbon. I personally like it below the ribbon (a little be closer). When I went to move it, like I had before in 3.3 (see screenshot below), I noticed the option to move it below the ribbon is not available in 3.5.

Anyone know where to find this option to move it in 3.5?

Thanks, Cathy

Hey @CathyAppleton

You'll have to do this method here:

Hi Cody,

yes that is where it was in 3.3 (in my screenshot in above message). But in 3.5 it is not there anymore (see screenshot below of 3.5 options).

Hey @CathyAppleton

So in theory, you would like it to look like this:

So I think what's going on is you may be right-clicking on a tool (i.e. New Map in your screen grab) and as a result you see those 6 items. To move the QAT below the ribbon, left click the dropdown arrow on the right side of the QAT to expose the window. In the window, 75% down the list you'll see the command, Show Below the Ribbon. Left click that and the QAT will move below the ribbon. Quick Access Toolbar options—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
