===== 🏷️ 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.

==== 🛠️ Editing Site Settings ====

To change site-specific archiving behavior:

1. Click the **Edit** button next to the site you wish to configure.
2. Adjust the following fields as needed:

**🟢 Whitelist**  
- Set to `1` to exclude the site from global archiving  
- Leave as `0` to allow it to follow the default policy  
- Optionally, override global settings using custom access or modified values

**📅 Accessed Days**  
- Enter a numeric value to archive files not accessed in this number of days  
- Example: `30` means files not accessed in 30 days will be archived

**✏️ Modified Days**  
- Enter a numeric value to archive files not modified in this number of days  
- Example: `60` means files not modified in 60 days will be archived

> 💡 *You can set different thresholds per site, allowing more flexible retention policies across departments or business units.*
