Bulk Check In and Approve as a feature

When you have installed and activated Bulk Check In and Approve by Virto, you can use it as either a web part on a SharePoint site page or an additional feature on the ribbon in a SharePoint list or library.

With the bulk check-in function, you can avoid the need for manually checking in each file individually. It enables you to check in multiple files quickly in a simple interface. Checked-in files are marked with a special icon. Usually in SharePoint, you cannot check in files at the same time; Bulk Check In and Approve makes this possible.

Files to check in

To check in multiple files, open the ribbon and click “Bulk Check In.”

Bulk Check In option

Choose the files and use the “Check In” button to check them in or “Discard Check Out” to check these files out (if they were checked in.)

Check in files

If document versioning is enabled, users with the ability to approve can approve or reject files (current versions).

Go to the “Actions” menu in a document library and click “Bulk Approve.”

Bulk approve

You can define the view and choose files to be approved or rejected. Depending on the file’s status, you can approve or reject it or assign it the “Pending” status.
