driveItem: checkin

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Check in a checked out driveItem resource, which makes the version of the document available to others.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Files.ReadWrite	Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Files.ReadWrite	Files.ReadWrite.All
Application	Files.ReadWrite.All	Sites.ReadWrite.All

Note

SharePoint Embedded requires the FileStorageContainer.Selected permission to access the content of the container. This permission is different from the ones mentioned previously. In addition to Microsoft Graph permissions, your app must have the necessary container type permissions to call this API. For more information, see SharePoint Embedded authentication and authorization.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
