Is there a way to disable checkin and checkout in document libraries?

Is there a way to prevent check-in and check-out on document libraries that should have that capability?

 

I have just found that my flows can't update attributes if the document is checked out and fails.

 

The standard No to "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited?" doesn't require check-out but allows it.

  • sonisick Try this:

    1. Run power automate flow using Site Collection Administrator (SCA) account.
    2. Check out the file explicitly in flow using Check out file action
    3. Do your updates as per your requirements
    4. Check in the file in flow using Check in file action
