 +===== 🔍 Folder Path Autocomplete ===== 
 + 
 +The URL field supports live autocomplete of folder paths. As you select libraries or type into the URL field, Squirrel queries the live index of files in your SharePoint site and offers matching folder paths to choose from. 
 + 
 +  * **Triggered automatically** when you select a library — saves you having to type to drill in 
 +  * **Triggered as you type** in the URL field (after at least 3 characters), with a short debounce 
 +  * **Click-through navigation** — selecting a folder from the dropdown immediately offers the next level of folders 
 +  * **Suppressed when wildcards are used** — typing ''%'' in the URL switches off autocomplete since wildcards are exclusion patterns rather than literal paths 
 + 
 +You can stop drilling at any level by clicking **Exclude Item** — you don't need to navigate all the way to a leaf folder.
