===== 📥 Squirrel Archive Queue =====

The **Archive Queue** section in [[https://www.smikar.com/squirrel/|Squirrel]] displays a live list of files that are currently **waiting to be archived**. This feature gives administrators real-time visibility into the pending workload and helps ensure that no files are missed during the archiving process.

==== 🔍 Key Details Displayed ====

Each row in the Archive Queue provides essential information about pending archive operations:

- **🆔 File GUID**  
  A unique identifier for each file in the queue. This GUID is used internally to track progress through the archiving process.

- **🏷️ Site GUID**  
  Identifies the SharePoint site the file belongs to. Useful for tracing the source site for each queued file.

- **📏 File Size**  
  Shows the size of the file in megabytes (MB), helping estimate storage usage and workload.

> 💡 The queue updates in real time as files are added, processed, and archived.

==== 📌 Actions & Workflow ====

- This page is **read-only** and meant for monitoring only.
