Title
Files which have no checked in version cannot be migrated -
Description
When migrating files in SharePoint, you might encounter several warnings in the logs, including:
- "List Site Pages includes 'x' files which have no checked-in version. These files cannot be migrated."
- "An issue occurred while processing web parts."
- "Unable to process the following parts 'xyz' (File Not Found.)"
-
Cause
The main issue here is related to files that don't have a "checked-in version" in the SharePoint document library. This typically happens because the files are currently checked out. -
Resolution
To resolve this issue, follow these steps as a SharePoint Site Admin:
-
Go to the Document Library Settings:
- Navigate to your source document library settings.
-
Manage Files with No Checked-In Version:
- Click on the “Manage files which have no checked-in version” link located under the Permissions and Management group.
-
Select Checked-Out Files:
- Under “Files checked out to others:”, check the boxes next to the files you want to take ownership of.
-
Take Ownership:
- Click on “Take Ownership of Selection” and confirm the prompt “Are you sure you want to take ownership of [file name]?”.
-
Check In the Files:
- Now that you have ownership, go back to the document library and check in the files.
-
Re-Run the Migration:
- Once all necessary files are checked in, re-run the migration process.
By taking these steps, you'll ensure that all files are properly migrated without any issues.
