[FEATURE] Set-PnPFileArchiveState cmdlet for file-level archival

[Saurabh7019]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
M365 file-level archival has been in public preview for a couple of weeks. While we wait for admin-level policies, it would be useful to archive files at scale using PnP PowerShell.

Describe the solution you'd like
A command similar to site archival (Set-PnPSiteArchiveState), e.g. Set-PnPFileArchiveState, that takes the site URL and file (server- or site-relative URL) as parameters to archive the file.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Right now the only option is manual handling, which doesn't scale.

Additional context
Possible with Graph as well as SharePoint REST API

hey @Saurabh7019 , nice to see your feature request , this has been implemented and will be available starting with tomorrow's nightly builds. Could you please let us know if it works for you or if there's any issue after tomorrow's builds ?

[Saurabh7019]

oh, that is seriously fast 😯

Sure @gautamdsheth, I will test it tomorrow and let you know. Thank you so much.

also, does it work for folder archival too? I can raise another request and wait 20 mins again 😂

@Saurabh7019 - folder is somewhat tricky, I think i have figured it out, should be there in tomorrow's nightly as well via Set-PnPFolderArchiveState 😅

[gautamdsheth]

hey @Saurabh7019 - any update on this ? Were you able to test it out with the latest builds ?

[Saurabh7019]

Hi @gautamdsheth, Both the file and folder archival commands work well, although there are minor issues with the examples.
