Microsoft has been playing with the location of these and switching it around in the past three years. Sometimes they are in the QAT, sometimes in the title bar (application header). Exactly where they will be will depend more on your version and update status than on the options you have checked. See Stefan's response though if you are using the "New Experience" or "Visual Refresh Preview" option.

Note, though, that you have keyboard shortcuts available for all of these. Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Z, and Ctrl+Y.

I've taken the save command off my screen and only use Undo/Redo if I want to look at multiple steps.

yes, I can make it, but all the other stuff will go too.

Before, these commands were not in the quick acces bar.

@Sergei Matveev ,

You mean the stuffs which have been checked will go if you show above the ribbon, right?

Above/below changes the location of all modifications to the QAT whether done from that menu or not.

Modifying the QAT

Microsoft has been playing with moving certain commands to the title bar irrespective of the QAT. I have seen no documentation on it but it has changed over the past three years. I believe it is currently putting everything in the QAT again, but see Stefan's post.

Is this Word for Windows? Click File > Options > General and ensure that there is a check mark next to "Show save commands in the application header."

This command is only available if using the Visual Refresh Preview or New Experience option.
