    Hello, I have a SharePoint document library sitting within a team site in Office 365/SharePoint 2013 online, I have found that users uploading documents offline into a synced file and then syncing when online see that the files are checked automatically and that they have been uploaded to the Document Library as Checked Out documents - this is because the documents have a required metadata field, the user has to go through two steps to make the documents visible to everyone, that is fill in the required metadata and check the document in.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a way around this manual check in/metadata fill in? so that the douments would automatically appear checked in?

    Regards

    There is no such option that files would get checked in automatically. Since you have required fields and since you are using check-in and check out feature for documents It is not possible.

    Also go to library settings>versioning settings and enable force check out for documents so when user saves the documents and clicks on cancel then it gives up a pop up window for check in.
