checked over
Gave a once-over
Checked over means examined or inspected something to verify its condition, accuracy, or completeness.
It suggests a thorough but often quick review: The mechanic checked over the engine before we hit the road.
I checked over my notes one last time before the presentation.
The phrase implies more careful attention than a casual glance but less formal scrutiny than an official inspection.
