The ability to how/hide a custom ribbon button is not yet available in the Office JavaScript library. But we are working on it and hope to have it soon.

UPDATE May, 2021: Custom contextual tabs is now available on Excel. For details, see Create custom contextual tabs

    Hi Rick, Any progress on this feature? Also please find below requirement. 1) Login button should be in ribbon command, 2) once login successful, login button should be replaced with xsi:type="Menu" control. Can you please confirm ASAP. – Muruga ananth Jan 07 '20 at 08:31

    This is still not available. We are previewing a feature in Excel only that will allow add-ins to programmatically enable and disable ribbon buttons, but the feature will not allow them to hide or show buttons. – Rick Kirkham Apr 14 '20 at 18:17

    We have a "no vaporware" policy at Microsoft, so I have to be hazy, but I can tell you we are working on a show/hide feature. – Rick Kirkham Apr 16 '20 at 17:44
