Create a new solution as normal in CRM.

We will add the Competitor entity to our solution. Save and publish.

Next, open Ribbon Workbench. You will be prompted to select your project. Select the project just created..

Once imported, you will see the screen below.

Back in the button, select the command:

Click Publish:

Go to the competitors page, and you will see a new Test Button appearing. Clicking the button will invoke the JavaScript described in the command.
