# Squirrel

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/451265/Squirrel

> Squirrel is a SharePoint Online document archiving platform that transfers documents to Azure Blob Storage while leaving stub files in their original SharePoint locations. It is designed to help organizations manage storage in SharePoint Online without affecting accessibility or user experience.

The platform uses AI-powered archiving to monitor storage usage and archive outdated data based on customizable lifecycle policies. Stub summaries, created through the Nutshell feature, provide AI-generated overviews of archived content to enhance searchability and offer insights into document contents before restoration. Archiving and restoring documents can be done directly within the SharePoint interface using dedicated buttons.

Archived data remains within the organization's Azure tenancy, ensuring security and compliance. The platform is deployed in the same region as the Microsoft tenancy to support performance and meet regional data sovereignty requirements. Reporting tools offer analytics on document usage, archiving activities, and storage savings, helping organizations track storage optimization and manage their data effectively.
