Hi All,
Thanks in advance for your help.
I by mistake took ownership of all files with no checked in version on a library. Now all the files are checked out to my name. I lost the details whom they were originally checked out to. All the files were checked out to different users. How can I restore their check out to their previous values prior to myself taking ownership.
I need to restore it back to their names whom they were originally checked out.
Please help before being caught to client.
Thanks,
Vignesh Natarajan
As per my assumption, I am not able to see any solution to restore the ownership back to the users whom they were really checked out to . To get previous “Checked Out To” version, document needs to be check-in once. So based on version history, you can restore it. But in your case, there is no previous version exist to perform discard checkout. Still we can do research to find a way.
Microsoft has to provide discard ownership action same like discard checkout (just kidding) 🙂
