Ribbon Backstage View Access 365

[Mister-B]

Hey all,

I've just moved up from Access 2016 to Access 365 Apps for Enterprise. Unfortunately some of the XML Backstage commands that worked on 2016 no longer work on 365. I would especially like to hide the list of recently opened databases and favourites. The old command line

<tab idMso="TabRecent" visible="false"/>

no longer works. Can anybody provide all the possible backstage command lines for Access 365?

Kind regards,
Martin

Do this from Access Options | Client Settings | Display and set the values to 0 and/or untick Quickly access this number of recent databases

Also look at my article / example database which includes ribbon XML to remove any / all backstage items:

Unfortunately some of the XML Backstage commands that worked on 2016 no longer work on 365.

The Backstage XML works unchanged even in the newest versions of Microsoft Access.
However, someday in recent years, I believe in 2021, Microsoft introduced an entirely new screen to the Office applications; the "Home" screen. (The "Home" screen is different from the "Home" tab in the Backstage.)
If you open Access (or any other Office application) you see the "Home" screen. If you click on "Options" and then cancel the Options dialog, you will see the Backstage. On first glance these two screens look very similar, but if you pay attention to the details you will notice subtle differences.

Unfortunately, the "Home" screen cannot be configured using Ribbon XML. At least, it is not documented anywhere.

Based on these facts, the workarounds suggested by @isladogs are probably the best choice to get close to the effects you desire.
