[waldekmastykarz]

Check out the specified file

• command: spo file checkout -w|--webUrl <webUrl> -u|--url [url]
• webUrl: The URL of the site where the file is located
• url: server- or site-relative URL of the file to check out
• specify either the ID or the URL of the file to check out but not both
• requires connection to a SharePoint site

For more information see the Set-PnPFileCheckedOut cmdlet

Can I pick this up please?

[waldekmastykarz]

Of course! Appreciate your help! 👍

[PlanetWilson]

Quick Q - what is "id" in this case? guid of the listitem or file or list item id? I am not aware of any way to get a file just using a web and an id. One could iterate round a known list checking guids, or get an item by id from a list? The referenced Set-PnPFileCheckedOut cmdlet only accepts a url?

[waldekmastykarz]

You're right. It should be URL only. I'll adjust the spec. 👍

Unfortunately, @PlanetWilson can't continue his work on this item. Open for picking again.

@waldekmastykarz I can complete this one. Feel free to assign it to me.

[waldekmastykarz]

Cool! Thanks @VelinGeorgiev!

Hey @waldekmastykarz

Is Id the UniqueId (GUID) of the document because there is a difference between ID and UniqueId and it could be misunderstood by someone?

[waldekmastykarz]

Which one do we need in the underlying API call?

[VelinGeorgiev]

The underlying API uses UniqueId

[waldekmastykarz]

Then let's use that and clarify that in the command description
