Check-in files using flow/Power automate
How can I use power automate to "Check-in" a selected file in a SharePoint file library? Any tip is greatly appreciated.
- There is a Check in file action. You may need to get items and then another action to check in.

Hi! I stumbled across this post as I have the same request. I have a user that uploaded over 25,000 documents to a document library and didn't check the documents in. I believe I can do this for the user with Power Automate. However, struggling a bit to understand the components that need to be added. Would you be willing to share what you have?
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to figure it out. I had to create a flat view of the site and used this to see (as the admin) all files that had been checked out. Then took ownership of them. There is a threshold limit but I just kept at it for a few hours and was able to take ownership of them.
