can soemone please cobfirm what permissions need to be given for a user to be able to check in / check out a document For some staff when they click on the file edit they dont see the check in / check out option. I gave user contribute rights so I am confused thanks

Contribute rights should do this fine. Have you made sure that the item/library doesn't have unique permissions?Steven Andrews | SharePoint Professional | http://www.twitter.com/backpackerd00d | https://baron72.wordpress.com/

Hi, Contribute access is fine for this activity. Check if check out is required or not in list settings. I hope this will help you outThanks, Rahul Rashu

Does the library require Check in / out?Steve Clark, MCTS | Twin-Soft.com

This folder has unique permissions. I broke the standard permissions to remove some users What confuses me is that users with full control see the check in options but user with just contribute do not
