Assume that you have Microsoft Offices Online in a SharePoint farm. When you open a URL (like http://sharepointserver/Shared%20Documents/DateTest.docx) to a SharePoint document by using the Chrome browser, the document is downloaded directly instead of opening the Office application with a direct connection to the document on SharePoint.
If you want to make changes to a file on a SharePoint site and you want to make sure no one else can edit it, check out the file. When you have the file checked out, you can edit it online or offline, and save it—multiple times, if necessary.
When you finish editing and check the file back into the library, other people can see your changes and edit the file, if they have permission. And, if you decide not to make or keep any changes in the file, you can simply discard your checkout so you don’t affect version history.
heck in/out is one of the basic features of SharePoint that you as an everyday SharePointer will likely run into. It’s not something you have to use; be strategic and use it when you feel it makes sense. Check in/out is also one of the more confusing aspects of SharePoint. I’ve even found that some users are slaves to check in/out without actually having to be so.
First, there’s no set way to refer to the feature. Some call it “check in”. Some call it “check out”. And still others say “check in-and-out”, “check-in-out”, and the satisfying staccato “check-in-check-out”. I’m going to stick with “check out” in this post for consistency. But we’re all talking about the same thing.
I’m not going to sugar-coat this: I hate check out. Yes, hate is a strong word. And I used it for a reason.
I think check out is a relic of the past and generally unnecessary in a modern workplace using SharePoint 2013, 2016, or Online. I think it’s unnecessarily confusing and had good intentions, but whose (minor) benefits were only noticed by a few, ignored by the vast majority. And rightly so.
How to use check out
The easiest way to describe check out is it’s a feature to reserve a file for yourself when you want to be the only one editing it. It’s not unlike checking a book out of a library: only you have the book, others don’t have access, you read the book in all your glory. Within SharePoint, follow one of the below methods to check the file out to you.
Once checked out, you’ll notice the icon for the file contains a little green arrow in the bottom-right corner (item 1 in the screenshot below). And, if you have the “Checked Out To” column displayed in a library, SharePoint will tell everyone the file’s checked out to you (item 2 in the screenshot below).
AUTO FILL DOCUMENT TITLE WITH FILE NAME
Document Auto Title provides a workflow that can automatically fill the document Title column with file names when documents are uploaded or modified in SharePoint document library, saving time and helping to cut down on human errors.
