MOSS: How to disable checkin option in document Library

Hey...

We had a requirement to disable checkin functionality in document library. The Idea was to reduce the steps to be done by the end user to upload documents easily. The bottom line was to make it simple for easy accessibility. Following are the steps to be done.

To enable/disable check-in and check-out on a SharePoint document library:

  1. Navigate to the SharePoint document library on which you want to enable check-in and check-out.
  2. On the Settings menu, click Document Library Settings .
  3. On the Customize page under General Settings , click Versioning settings .
  4. On the Document Library Versioning Settings page, select Yes /No for Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? , and click OK .

To enable version control on a SharePoint document library:

  1. Navigate to the SharePoint document library on which you want to enable version control.
  2. On the Settings menu, click Document Library Settings .
  3. On the Customize page under General Settings , click Versioning settings .
  4. On the Document Library Versioning Settings page, select Create major versions if you only want to enable major versions on documents or select Create major and minor (draft) versions if you want both major and minor versions on documents, and click OK .

Hope It helps...
