CRM Online - Application Ribbon XML don't show complete RibbonDiff definitions

I am new to CRM online. I am trying to add a button on the ribbon. To help with that, i initially tried using Visual Ribbon Editor; But when i exported the solution, the RibbonDiff didn't show me complete set of entity ribbons. So i tried to directly export the application ribbon from CRM online. For this i followed the standard process - a) created new solution b) used 'Add Exiting' and added the application ribbon c) exported the solution. When i opened the 'Customisation' xml, it doesn't show me the complete RibbonDiff definitions. I am missing something here?

Thanks, Vijay

When you export any customization it will only contains the differences from the standard ribbon definition.

You can find the complete ribbon definition inside the SDK, the exact folder is

resources\exportedribbonxml

However to create a new button (and not editing an existing one) isn't necessary to have the complete ribbon definition, just follow this tutorial

or use another tool, as Ribbon Workbench for Dynamics CRM 2011 by Scott Durow
