Remove button from Ribbon in a specific toolbar

Question

I need to remove 'Upload Document' button from the Ribbon on a Document Set library, with the toolbar set to "None".

I can successfully remove it from the Full Toolbar (which is the default one) deploying an elements.xml that overwrites the CommandUIDefinition.

<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"> 
 <CustomAction Id="RemoveUploadRibbon" Location="CommandUI.Ribbon" RegistrationType="List" RegistrationId="10001">
  <CommandUIExtension>
   <CommandUIDefinitions>
    <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.Documents.New.AddDocument">
    </CommandUIDefinition>
   </CommandUIDefinitions>
  </CommandUIExtension>
 </CustomAction>
</Elements>

But whenever I change the toolbar to "None" the button reappears.

It seems that the button is removed only from the default toolbar but not from all the others.

Is there a proper way to remove the button from every toolbar, or at least from a specific one?

Answer 1

First of all there is no document set library in SharePoint. There is only a content type that is called "Document Set" and this can exists on certain document libraries. You need in to use in your declaration the RegistrationType="ContentType" and for the RegistrationId="0x0120D520". Last one is the id of the content Type "Document Set".

The required custom action looks like this:

    <CustomAction
Id="RemoveUploadButton"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x0120D520">
  <CommandUIExtension>
    <CommandUIDefinitions>
      <CommandUIDefinition
        Location="Ribbon.Documents.New.AddDocument" />
    </CommandUIDefinitions>
  </CommandUIExtension>
</CustomAction>

After you the deployment the ribbon should look like this:

You should declare body of CommandUIDefinition tag, use this code instead of your:

<CustomAction Id="{B3B7E731-A378-4823-ABCE-C0261ED41A23}"
                Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
                RegistrationType="List" RegistrationId="10001">
    <CommandUIExtension>
      <CommandUIDefinitions>
        <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.ListItem.New"></CommandUIDefinition>
        <CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.ListItem.Manage">
          <Group
            Id="Ribbon.ListItem.Manage"

As can you see this is a copy-past of default declaration, but I missed the upload button (may be not only upload) :)
