Question
A user has created an aspx page, but not checked it in.
Only discovered when trying to create the page again (with same name) - it won't let us, because the page already exists.
Is there any way to view/access pages that have been created, but left checked out, by people who have since left?
thanks
Solution
In your document library, do the following:
- Settings - Document Library Settings
- Under Permissions and Management click on
Manage files which have no checked in version
- From this page you can select files and choose to take ownership, after which you should see them in views and can delete them
