How are files that are checked out in SharePoint handled by the Collector? Are they still pulled out? Will the checked out status be reflected in the metadata?

The metadata element ows_IsCheckedoutToLocal and ows_CheckedOutUserId contain the information on check out status. SharePoint Collector will still export the item.

Example:

– Not checked out (checked out value is 0 and no username is present)
ows_IsCheckedoutToLocal=”5014;#0 ows_CheckedOutUserId=”5014;#”

– Checked out (checked out value is 1 and a username is present)
ows_IsCheckedoutToLocal=”5014;#1 ows_CheckedOutUserId=” 11;#USERNAME”
