Here it's my problem : I started to move a lot of files in a document center, but yesterday I learned that users cannot see them, but permissions we're all right. I checked, and finally found that files were on checkout mode, meaning that they needed an approval. So I have to check all the files and select "Check in".

As it is a lot of files, I want to know if it is possible to create a powershell script to do it, and if it's possible, can you give me some help to create it.

I'm totally a noob in powershell, so I don't know how to proceed.

Thanks for reading and for your help. :)

Edit : I tried Sharepoint Designer, and it didn't worked. I tried to create a view on the website to see files without the folders, but the selection is limited to 100 objects at once. I've got like 67000 elements, so I can't use this method.

The only solution is to create a powershell script.

I found this : https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spfile.checkin.aspx

This might be the solution I'm looking for.

The question I got now is : Will this API work with Sharepoint Online ?

I'm not sure if this option is available in SPO, but this is how I do it on-prem. Within Site Settings, go to 'Content and Structure'. Navigate into the document library you'd like to work with, and then select all documents within it. Click 'Actions' and 'Check In'.

  • Hello,Thanks for your answer, I tried it, but you cannot check in files directly on folders with this view. A colleague told me that you can do it with Sharepoint Designer, I'm going to give it a try. :)
