You Can Check In or Out Multiple Files in SharePointFor this tutorial we will use the Manage Content and Structure Feature in SharePoint 2007. It is a very useful browser interface that allows you to move items and yes, check in and out multiple documents. To get to this feature we will use the Site Actions Menu. Please note you must have the proper permissions (contribution at least) and you will not see all the options from the screen shots below if you do not have full control permissions.

  1. On the Out of the Box SharePoint Site the Site Actions button is in the top right hand corner. Click Site Actions and Manage Content and Structure.
