Ribbon

The ribbon is a command bar that provides you with three tabs—Home, View, and Options—that enable you to customize your workspace, and create, edit, and format your graphic images.

Along the ribbon, you will find the File menu button, and then the ribbon tabs and groups. In the example below, the customizable quick access toolbar is above the ribbon, but, can also be displayed below the ribbon.
