Site settings
To access site settings in SharePoint On-Premises, follow these steps:
- Navigate to your SharePoint site.
- Look for the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner of the page and click on it.
- From the dropdown menu, select “Site settings”.
If you don’t see the “Site settings” option in the dropdown menu, try these alternative methods:
- Click on “Site contents” in the left navigation pane or top menu bar.
- Then click on “Site settings” in the top navigation bar.
For some sites, you may need to:
- Click on “Site information” after clicking the gear icon.
- Then select “View all site settings”.
If you’re using a modern SharePoint interface and still can’t find the site settings, you can try:
- Appending “/_layouts/15/settings.aspx” to your site’s URL in the address bar.
- Press Enter to directly access the Site Settings page.

On the Site Settings page, in the Virto Multiple File Operations section, click Virto Multiple File Check-In Settings.
In these settings you can choose:
- Always follow farm settings;
- the list types where the command is shown: All, Generic, Library, Tasks, Calendar (clear “Always follow farm settings” and “All” to choose). For example, clearing “Generic” hides the button in lists;
- Item Count, Enable CAML view, Enable filter view, Show file size, Show links on files;
- Panel appearance — see Settings levels and panel appearance.
The default view type is set on the list level.
