Scheduled Check-in Items plugin

The Joomla system places padlocks next to an item to indicate that a user is currently editing the item (i.e. the item is "checked out"). If the user never clicks "Save" or "Close" and instead hits the "Back" button or navigates to another page, then the item remains locked.

This task-plugin automatically checks in all articles that are checked out longer than you defined. and with the PRO version you can also check in categories, modules, tasks, plugins, etc.

We support this plugin in Joomla 4.1+.


The Global Checkin plugin in Joomla 5 will have the same functionality as the Scheduled Check-in Items plugin.
Therefore, we will not develop this plugin further.
We will continue to support this plugin for Joomla 4

Simple and Usefull
The idea to make a module for this saves me time in future and lowers effort needed to maintain the times for the customers. Save urself some time and give it a try.
