Can I enable Check in and out for all my activities at once?** No, you will need to enable it one by one and make sure this is enabled when you create an activity. Always make sure to review all the options you need from the beginning, in this case, you can go back and change it later. **2.

I don't see the option available for me. What can I do about it?** Only some subscription plans have this option available.
