-The "Archive/Restore by Path" feature in [[https://www.smikar.com/squirrel/|Squirrel]] allows administrators to archive or restore files within a SharePoint site by specifying a folder path. This functionality provides more granular control over data management, enabling targeted actions within SharePoint sites.
+The **Archive/Restore by Path** feature in [[https://www.smikar.com/squirrel/|Squirrel]] allows administrators to target specific folders within SharePoint sites for archiving or restoration. Instead of acting at the entire site level, this feature provides **granular control** over what gets archived or restored — ideal for department-specific data or selective clean-up.

+- ✅ Make sure you enter the **correct SharePoint Site and folder path** to avoid archiving or restoring unintended files.
+- 🔎 If no results appear, double-check the path spelling and confirm that files actually exist in that location.
+- 🚫 You can only archive or restore items that the system detects as eligible — already-archived files will not be re-archived.
