The Archive/Restore by Path feature in 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.

Step	Description	Screenshot
1	In the SharePoint Site field, begin typing the name of the target site.
2	Select the appropriate site from the dropdown list.
3	Enter the SharePoint Path (relative to the site root) into the provided field.
4	Click “Search Site Path” to retrieve and analyze the files within that path.

- Total Items: Number of files in the path

1. Archived Items: Files already archived
2. Non-Archived Items: Files eligible for archiving | |

| 6 | Click “Archive all items in path” to queue all unarchived files in the folder for archiving. | |

7	Click “Restore all items in path” to queue all archived files in the folder for restoration.
8	Click “Clear Search” to reset the form and start a new search.

- ✅ 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.
