[Autogenerated] Hi. This lesson. I'm gonna
show you how to require document Check
out. We're here in the HR team site and
we're going to go to our employee
handbook. We have the ability in
SharePoint to check a document out for
editing. What this means is, once a
document is checked out, nobody else will
be able to edit it while it's checked out.
Other than the person who has the document
checked out. And if we wanna check out a
document, we simply have to go to that
document here in the list. Click on show
actions come down to Maura and you see,
there we have the ability to check out,
and that's always there. It's there by
default in every SharePoint document
library. Now, if for some reason you wanna
make it so that a document has to be
checked out to edit it, we can go ahead
and turn that on. We can require document
check out. This will essentially eliminate
the ability to co author a document with
somebody else at the same time. Let's take
a look at how that's done. We're gonna
come up here to the upper right corner.
We're gonna go to the settings gear. But
before we do that, I want to show you that
were signed in as Gary Colts. And now it
Gary is not the site owner. He's simply a
member of the site. So this is something
that any member of a team site conduce.
You don't have to be the site owner. We're
gonna go to the settings gear and come
down to library settings. It brings us
here to the library settings page. We come
down and we look at the different settings
general settings, permissions and
management communications. And we don't
see anything in here that says Check out.
That's because you will find the checkout
settings here under version ING Settings
were gonna click there. We're going to
skip all of this. We're gonna scroll all
the way down to the bottom and we will see
required check out down here in the lower
right corner, you see required documents
to be checked out before they could be
edited. We're gonna turn that on. The
default is no. We're gonna click Yes, and
click OK. And again, this will disable the
ability to co author a document with
somebody else at the same time. Let's go
ahead and let's go back to our employee
handbook library. And now let's open up
this compensation document. Now you'll
notice right away that it opens up in the
read on Lee mode. We don't have our ribbon
up there with all of our tools. So if we
go over here and click edit document,
let's just edit in the browser. You'll see
that we get this message that tells us you
have to check out this document. Please
check out this document before editing and
word. We can't edit this document without
checking it out. So we're gonna open that
in the reading view. Close it. And now
we'll go ahead, come down to more check
the document out. And now when we open it
up, it opens it up for us in edit mode.
There's our ribbon with all of our
commands. So now you know how to require
document Check out in a document library.
Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time
