Bulk Check In Documents
Updated this week

You can check in multiple documents at once using the Check In action in the Quick actions pane. We recommend checking-in checked-out documents before running a migration since checked out documents will not be migrated (only their last checked-in version will be migrated).

Prerequisites

Note: Site collection admin permissions are required even if you have higher admin privileges like SharePoint admin or Global admin permissions. For more info, see Microsoft administrative permissions.
