FAQ: How can I find where a command is located?

When you open a command topic in the Help system, in most cases you will see the icon of the command tool followed by the word, Find. If you click Find, a red arrow appears, pointing to a location on the ribbon, the Application menu, or the status bar.

If the command is not available in the current workspace or it is hidden, a message is displayed instead that describes where the command is located.

You can find all the places that a command can be accessed in the current workspace.
