Closing Open or Incomplete Checklists (Including Mass Close)

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Overview

Over time, a site can build up open checklists, some completed and some not. Administrators can close them one at a time or in bulk.

Can I close a checklist that isn't complete?

Yes, unless the checklist template has Require answers to all questions before closing turned on. When that option is off, users can close incomplete checklists.

Mass-close open checklists (Administrators)

  1. Go to Standard Work/Documents > Open/Closed Checklists.

  2. Use the filters (status, date range, document, etc.) to narrow the list to only the checklists you want to close.

  3. Click Close All Checklists.

Important: Close All Checklists closes everything in the current filtered list. Double-check your filters before clicking it so you don't close every open checklist on the site.

What happens to checklists closed this way

  • The Administrator who closed them shows as Last Updated By.

  • The closed date/time is the time of the mass close.

  • Checklists with Require answers to close enabled are also closed.
