A major new capability in SharePoint 2010 is the ability to create Document Sets. A document set is just what it sounds like – a set or package of documents defined as one entity. For example, a loan mortgage application packet could be considered a document set within which you would have individual documents such as personal information, existing properties you own, loan rate declaration etc. Each of these documents could be of any type, but together they make up the document set. This video shows the process of creating a new document set from scratch.

Watch the video on Creating Document Sets that explains this functionality.

The Check In/Out functionality is pretty awesome in SharePoint document management, but isn’t it a pain to have to check in each document separately if, let’s say, as an Admin you have just migrated 100 documents in a document library and they all appear to be in a checked out state?

I get this question asked a lot: Can you check in multiple documents at once? The answer is Yes you can! It is done using the “Site Content and Structure” page (see pic below) which is only available in MOSS Standard or above.
