Using SharePoint 2010, when creating the new page in page document library, some times we get the error saying that "Error in creating the page: The page xyz.aspx is being checked out by another user".
We get this error because, Some other domain user has created the file already and he forgot to check in. You try to search the file to discard the checkout by the other user. But there won't be any file in the page library.
Because unless the user who has created the file himself check in the file, the file will not be visible to the other users. So the user get frustrated.
No need to worry:
Solution: Fortunately, SharePoint has a solution of taking the ownership of the checked out page from the other user.
Please follow the following steps:
1.In the ribbon section of page library, under the Library Tools heading select Library and click "Library Settings".
2. You will be redirected to the Document Library Settings Page.
3. In this page, Under the heading "Permissions and Management" click on the link "Manage files which have no checked in version".
4. You will be redirected to a page where you will get all the files created by some other domain users and are not checked in.
5. Now you have to override the checkout for the other user. For this, first select the files for which you want to override the checkout and then click on the link "Take Ownership of Selection" .
6. It will give you a JavaScript popup to ask the permission. Click OK and you will be redirected to your page library, where the actual files will be listed in checkout state.
7. Now add the content to the page and check in and publish and approve the page.
Thanks It.
