Check-in/ check out when creating a new doc in a team site

Hello, 

How to disable the check-in/ checkout when I create a document in a team site? 

When I create a doc, even directly from "New+" on SharePoint, the Auto-save in on, so it's saved in the SharePoint. But when I want to close it, it's asking me to check-in and check-out my document. 

It does the same with all the team site I'm in and not for the other members, 

 

If I drag and drop the file from my OneDrive, it's doesn't ask. 

 

Thank you

  • Check the version settings as follows:
    - Go to the Document Library
    - Click the Cog icon (top right of the page)
    - Choose Library Settings
    - Versioning settings
    - Check the Check In / Out options

    This can also happen if you have a required metadata field in the Document Library. If the metadata is not filled in, it will cause the document to automatically check out.

      But, it's not doing the check-out/check-in for the other members...

      Do I need to do that for all my team sites?

      Thank you
