I have SharePoint 2010 environment. Many documents are checked out by other users.
I need to bulk check-in those documents. Can anyone suggest to me a reliable way for the same?
Thanks
You could try below PowerShell.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
#Variables
$WebURL="http://domain/sites/emilytest"
$LibraryURL="/Shared%20Documents" #Relative URL of a folder or library
#Get Objects
$Web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL
$Folder = $web.GetFolder($LibraryURL)
#Function to find all checked out files in a SharePoint library
Function CheckIn-CheckedOutFiles($Folder)
{
$Folder.Files | Where { $_.CheckOutStatus -ne "None" } | ForEach-Object {
write-host ($_.Name,$_.URL,$_.CheckedOutBy)
#To Check in
$_.Checkin("Checked in by Administrator")
}
#Process all sub folders
$Folder.SubFolders | ForEach-Object {
CheckIn-CheckedOutFiles $_
}
}
#Call the function to find checkedout files
CheckIn-CheckedOutFiles $Folder
