using Visual Studio Community Edition 2015
Created a new Office / Sharepoint VSTO Add in Project -> Excel 2013
Went to Project -> Add New Item -> Visual C# Items
I don't see Action Pane Control as an option.
I used the search online for template but nothing appears for Action Pane Control.
What needs to be done for Action Pane Control to appear an option?

Open your Word or Excel document-level project in Visual Studio. On the Project menu, click Add New Item. In the Add New Item dialog box, select Actions Pane Control, name it HelloControl, and click Add. You can alternatively add a User Control item to your project.
An action pane tab is a control that displays and labels a collection of related actions.
Task panes are interface surfaces that typically appear on the right side of the window within Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. Task panes give users access to interface controls that run code to modify documents or emails, or display data from a data source.
I had this issue as well, however according to this page, you can also add a User Control.
You can alternatively add a User Control item to your project. The classes generated by the Actions Pane Control and User Control items are functionally equivalent.
