To Dock the Ribbon in a New Location
Click the title bar and drag the undocked ribbon to either the left edge, right edge, or top of the drawing area
When the outline of the window is displayed in the docking area, release the button.

Another trip is to undock the Ribbon and have it floating, minimize it or hide it.
