SharePoint Batch Check In updated

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:24:58 GMT

Check in documents using SharePoint Batch Check In.

SharePoint Batch Check In lets you check-in files without compromising document versioning integrity. Normally, when you upload multiple documents to a SharePoint document library, form library, or picture library, the files will remain checked-out unless you manually check in each file individually. This can be a time consuming task, especially if you are checking in several hundred documents at once. SharePoint Batch Check In solves this problem by allowing you to bulk check in a group of checked-out files all at one time, as well as upload & simultaneously check in multiple new documents.
