We use on-premises SharePoint and often when opening a Word file, it prompts me with a yellow header bar to make a document editable, and check it out. Some times when saving, I am similarly prompted to check it in to SharePoint from Word, without having to go back to Sharepoint. enter image description here enter image description here

But other times, I don't get these prompts and have to go back to the SharePoint web interface and manually do it. Does Word provide a way to check a document in/out from the menus somewhere in the event these prompts are not shown?

  1. Right-click a button at top, Customize the Ribbon enter image description here
  2. At the top of the left column choose All Commands, scroll down then click 'Check In', on bottom of right column click New Group, then click Add in middle, click 'Check Out', click Add, click OK. This seems to be what you need from what I can tell. enter image description here
