I'm working in Excel but the same should apply for all products where you can define custom add-in commands. When you create a custom add-in command in the ribbon, you are able to toggle it from enabled to disabled and back again using Office.Ribbon.RequestUpdate(). You cannot do the same when you define a command for the context menu. I need to be able to toggle the availability or enabled state of my add-in command(s) in the context menu. The function we want to use a command for doesn't make sense to add as a button in the ribbon.

Thank you very much for staying tuned for our feature release! Hope this feature could be helpful for your scenario. Please add this, it is very basic feature I dont understand why context menu buttons can not be disabled? Is that so difficult to do?
