Sharepoint Online Require check-out to edit files in a library folder
Hello there! I am currently having trouble regarding a library in Sharepoint online. I would like to implement a system where files within a folder in my library can only be edited once its ...
I'm not able to send a screenshot, but on the top right there's a blue tab which says 'Viewing' with a bubble underneath it that says 'you can only view this document. you do not have permissions to edit it.' This is only with documents inside a folder in the library. I have full permission to check out and edit documents directly in the library.
muzill That means you don't have permissions to edit the documents inside this folder. There are item level permissions applied on this folder.
Ask your administrator to grant you Contribute or higher permissions on this folder to edit documents OR if you have access to site owners or site collection administrator user account, try login with this account and you can see the permissions for this folder and you can grant permissions to your current user account.
