如何为Outlook Add-in创建单Tab，点击即打开Taskpane？

要实现仅保留“Contoso Add-in”主Tab，点击即可打开Taskpane，需对清单文件做以下核心修改：

修改步骤 #

1. 替换默认Tab为自定义Tab
   找到<ExtensionPoint xsi:type="MessageReadCommandSurface">下的<OfficeTab id="TabDefault">节点，替换为自定义Tab配置，同时移除多余的操作按钮。

2. 添加自定义Tab的标签资源
   在<bt:ShortStrings>区域新增自定义Tab的名称配置。

3. 清理冗余内容
   删除不需要的ActionButton控件及无关的函数执行配置（可选保留）。
