Ribbon Custom Action gone in Visual Studio?

Question

As the title says, is the ribbon custom action template gone with VS 2017?

I have installed Office/Sharepoint development components and tried it with a farm solution as well with an add-in and couldnt find the ribbon custom action template when adding a new item to my project.

I have the professional edition installed.

In Vs 2013/2015/2017, There is no such template called a ribbon custom action, and to can create a ribbon custom action via VS 2017 you should add a Module or Empty Element as the following:

• Create a new SharePoint Solution.
• Then add New Item.
• Add Module or Empty Element as shown below.

To continue creating a custom action as Module check Create a Custom Action for a specific list via Visual Studio in SharePoint 2013
