Body: <p>How would you recommend checking in participants (who have previously registered) at events so that those who attended have participant status changed from registered to attended? (And then, likely in a second step, those who didn't show have participant status changed to no-show). This seems so obvious- but I can't find it in the Civi documentation. </p>
  
  <p>My thought is to use an advanced search with event name= [name], role = 'attendee' filters. After people have been checked off names when they come in to the event, use the 'update multiple contacts' feature.

Comments.Text: If you are using Drupal you can build a View and use VBO and then have a list of all Participants, and a checkbox, then you just tick them off, and then when the evening is complete, submit the form and change the Participant Status to Attended - if you are using Drupal I will add this as an Answer

  username_0,
  
  You will need to use Find Participant search form to update the status of participant.
  
  Do a search on event name= [name], role = 'attendee' filters, select participant and then from Actions list select 'Update multiple participant'
  
  Or You can use Advance search with same filter but select 'Event Participants' from the 'Display Results As'.

  If you use Advanced Search, you can change the *Display Results As* from **Contacts** to **Participants**. This will let you update the participant status similarly to doing it through "Manage Events", but with more granularity for who shows up in your list.
