Customize ribbon for office documents in sharepoint library

[MariusR_]

Hi,

Our business department asked us if it is possible to customize the ribbon for Office documents in Sharepoint libraries. 

The goal would be to make visible if the document has been shared while the document is being edited (webapp and/or desktop app). We are already working with the "Shared With" column inside the document library, but I haven't found any ways to customize the ribbon when working inside of an office document. 

Thanks in advance!

Check if you can achieve it using the custom office add-in:

1. Office Add-ins documentation 
2. Develop Office Add-ins 
3. Build your first Word task pane add-in
