===== 🏷️ Squirrel Site Settings =====

The **Site Settings** section in [[https://www.smikar.com/squirrel/|Squirrel]] allows administrators to manage the archiving behavior and configuration of individual SharePoint sites. This section is part of the **Admin Panel** and is accessible via **Site Archive Settings** in the main Squirrel dashboard.

It enables granular control over site-specific policies, overrides for global settings, and site-level actions like archive or restore.
