Oh sorry I misunderstood. I took your JSON and it works for me. We did rollback Windows Studio from v650 to v649 over the weekend (for an unrelated issue). I wonder if that’s the problem?
also another question of mine is there any document or something with the list of the built in gui stuff? aka the studioURI or whatever it is inside the luau document you sent 
thanks
EDIT: Nevermind! i managed to find out for myself in the files! heres a devfourm post of my findings

This is great news to me, however, I have a few more stuff I want to hide such as “Collaborate” and the Assistant Button, will that be possible with the “Manage Tabs” UI?
If this releases, please keep the original ui as an option for those who like it still.
Hey uh how would we add the plugins into the tabs sinec i cant find out how to add my own plugin buttons into the tab or if anybody else knows how please let me know since we need likke a document going over it
EDIT: nvm i forgot to update the plugin in my plugins

This explains it well:
Technically, it’s possible with the new UI system! But I don’t think Manage Tabs would be the right entry point for it. We’ll think on this a bit.

So tabs are still getting worked on, will the plugin tab ever get some love, is it quite broken still, make moving over hard to do, i wanna like the new ui but cant yet.
Good stuff!! Goood stuff!! Love the things y’all are doing with this new studio UI!
I made this tab
{
"Name": "Test Tab",
"Controls": [
{
"Id": "SelectButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Select",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "MoveButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Move",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "ScaleButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Scale",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "RotateButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Rotate",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "TransformButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Transform",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "PartButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Part",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "MaterialButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Material",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "GroupButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Group",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "UnionButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Union",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "IntersectButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Intersect",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "SeparateButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Separate",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "NegateButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Negate",
"Category": "Tools"
}
}
]
}
But the thing is only some of the buttons appear.
I also get this warn in console
04:42:02.725 ▶ Cannot bind to action DataModel:Standalone, PluginId:BuilderTools, Category:Actions, ItemId:Part that does not exist (x3) - Standalone
Yes we’ve made minor improvements here with nicer grouping and reliable sorting. But I’d like to hear more specifically what you’re looking for.
You’ve got several weird controls in there. I don’t see "ItemId" : "Part" in my actions or the default ribbon tabs. I would use:
{
"Type": "SplitButton",
"Id": "Part",
"ShowSettingOptions": true,
"Setting": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "PartShape",
"Category": "Settings"
},
"DefaultAction": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Insert/Block",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
OK there’s a whole bunch of weird ones so I just fixed them all. Double check the OP on how to dump your available actions to a text file and copy the “Uri” over to “Actions” (If the write-up is wrong or confusing, let me know!)

Can we have the drop downs back, plugins with a good bit of buttons can end up taking the entire toolbar, example being NWSpacek’s coaster plugin, or Stravant’s Resize Align plugin and its family use one main base, with each plugin making its own button, having them bunch up was great
Along with, the 3 dots on the far right do not have a scroll list, so i lose the ability to see most of my plugins i have added, i understand this is a beta but I do hope this doesnt sneak through especially, perhaps a proper way of the little arrows we have in the old ui, that doesnt break randomly.

Alright thank you I will make sure it works how I want it.
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to copy commonly used Modules and paste it easily with buttons.
Plugins could do that just place commonly used modules in a folder and make plugin button to insert it

We are brainstorming ways to support something like this which I would call “macros” — Studio Assistant kind of introduced this capability (effectively writing code that can run in the Command Bar) and we think one thing we could do is a nice “make this a button/tool” that can be added to a toolbar or menu.
I think the difference between that and plugins is if you need any specialized UI. But all just concepts/ideas right now.

@MeshOfPaul Can we see File menu items re-arranged under the app title on macOS? Right now, what should be global menu items, like Studio Settings, Customize Shortcuts, Beta Features, and Open Auto Saves are found in the File menu.
However, they should be under the Roblox Studio menu. This is the standard for macOS apps and I’m constantly finding myself clicking on Roblox Studio to reach the settings and then forgetting there’s nothing useful in that menu.
Example:
I’m assuming the reason this was done is because you don’t have an equivalent section on the Windows “menu bar”, but maybe one could be added, assuming you have control over that UI?

Yeah we have some compromises here due to being cross platform (and legacy of only having a File menu for so long). But we do have some flexibility so I’ll pass this along to our designers.
This is very exciting. I remember wanting something like this to create a scripting tab specifically for a visual scripting plugin that I wanted to work on in the past. But will we eventually be able to add custom right-click context options and/or replace native ones?
Normally we double-click a script to open it or right-click, but it would be nice if plugins could add their own context and either change the default or allow the user to change it how they wish. The reason I mention plugins being able to change the default is because, in the context of a visual script editor, perhaps it would be helpful if it only swapped the default for compatible scripts but left incompatible scripts with the normal default. Though adding right-click context alone would already help. I’d rather not have to open two scripting-related tabs for one script.
