🏷️ Squirrel Site Settings
The Site Settings section in 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.
📍 How to Access Site Settings
| From the Squirrel Dashboard, navigate to Site Archive Settings. |  |
| You will be presented with a list of all connected SharePoint sites. |  |
| Each site entry displays core information, including Site Name, Site GUID, Whitelist status, Accessed Days, and Modified Days. |  |
| Action buttons let you launch, edit, archive, or restore a site as needed. |  |

Each row in the Site Settings table includes:
- 😺 Site Name – The title of the SharePoint site - 🆔 Site GUID – Unique identifier for the site - ✅ Whitelist – Indicates whether the site is excluded from global archiving (`1 = Yes`, `0 = No`) - 📅 Accessed Days – Days since the site was last accessed - ✏️ Modified Days – Days since the site was last modified - 🛠️ Actions – Includes: Launch, Edit, Archive, and Restore buttons
- Launch – Opens the site detail view
- Edit – Modify site-specific settings
- Archive – Archive the entire site
- Restore – Restore a previously archived site
🛠️ 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.*
