I want enable checkout feature when any folder is selected on share point online document library.

I required this because user needs to replace folder on document library and also wants to maintain versioning of files.

Please let me know if you have any idea regarding the same.

What I have tried:

Check out option is not enable under File Tab when we selects folder in share point online document library.

Solution 1

There is currently no out of the box way to checkout/check-in entire folders and their children.

A way forward would be to create a PowerShell script which loops thru the folder and check out/in the desired files.

Solution 3

You can check in or check out multiple files by selecting the files from the left and right clicking on one of the files selected, select more in the drop down and it will show you the option to check in or check out. I learned it the hard way but its possible.

:) Question is 6 years old, sure the OP found a solution by now. I know this is getting confusing sometimes as we all don't see the date before replying. :)
