# Check In Item/Check In Multiple Items dialog box

Use this dialog box to check in one or more items.

If you select a single item, you see two tabs. If you select multiple items, you see a dialog box with no tabs.

Use the controls in the General tab (single item) or untabbed dialog box (multiple items) to enter information about the selected items.

For a single selection, see Attributes tab/page for how to view and change the user-defined attributes of the item.
