PL-900 Practice Test 31 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A company has a Power Platform environment used for development. The development team needs to deploy a solution to a test environment. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Export a managed solution from the development environment and import it into the test environment. Managed solutions are the recommended approach for deploying to non-development environments (e.g., test, UAT, production). A managed solution locks components to prevent direct editing in the target environment, supports lifecycle management (upgrades, patches, and removal), and ensures that only the intended customizations are deployed. Exporting an unmanaged solution (Option A) would leave components editable in the test environment, breaking the managed lifecycle pattern.

Answer

Export an unmanaged solution from the development environment and import it into the test environment

Answer

Manually recreate all components in the test environment

Answer

Copy the entire development environment to the test environment

Question 2

Which TWO are examples of using AI Builder within Power Platform? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

Extracting text from scanned invoices using prebuilt models.. AI Builder provides prebuilt models that can extract text and data from scanned invoices without requiring custom machine learning expertise. This capability integrates directly into Power Automate and Power Apps, enabling automated processing of invoice data within the Power Platform.

Answer

Setting up a Power Automate trigger when a new email arrives.

Answer

Designing a custom screen in a Power Apps canvas app.

Answer

Creating a Power BI dashboard to visualize sales data.

Question 3

You are reviewing a Power Automate flow definition. The exhibit shows an action definition. What is the action doing?

Accepted Answer

Sending an email to a single recipient.. The action definition in the exhibit shows a single 'To' field populated with one address, which corresponds to sending an email to a single recipient. Power Automate's 'Send an email' action uses a semicolon-separated list for multiple recipients, and the exhibit does not show multiple addresses or an attachment. Therefore the action is a single-recipient email send.

Answer

Sending an email to multiple recipients.

Answer

Sending an email with an attachment.

Answer

Checking if a condition is true before sending.

Question 4

A Power Pages site needs to integrate a Microsoft Copilot Studio chatbot to answer customer questions. What must be done to add the chatbot to the portal?

Accepted Answer

Add the Copilot Studio chatbot component to a page and configure it with the bot's details.. Power Pages provides a native Copilot Studio chatbot component that can be added to a page and configured with the bot's details (such as the bot ID and environment). This is the recommended no-code approach to embed a chatbot.

Answer

Write custom Liquid code to call the Copilot Studio API.

Answer

Embed the chatbot using an iFrame in a web template.

Answer

Install a third-party chatbot plugin from the Power Platform marketplace.

Question 5

Which THREE of the following are capabilities of Power Pages? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Integrate with Microsoft Copilot Studio for chatbots. Option A is correct because Power Pages natively supports embedding a chatbot built with Microsoft Copilot Studio (formerly Power Virtual Agents) into a portal, allowing makers to add conversational AI experiences to external-facing sites. Option D is correct because Power Pages uses Microsoft Dataverse as its primary data platform, letting makers bind forms, lists, and web APIs to Dataverse tables as a data source. Option E is correct because Power Pages is a low-code/no-code site-building tool that produces responsive websites rendered with Bootstrap-based templates, so pages adapt to desktop and mobile browsers. Option B is not a Power Pages capability; real-time co-authoring in Word belongs to Microsoft 365 document collaboration, not portal authoring. Option C is not a Power Pages capability; scheduled data refresh for reports is a feature of Power BI (dataset scheduled refresh) rather than Power Pages.

Answer

Real-time co-authoring in Microsoft Word

Answer

Schedule data refresh for reports

Question 6

A marketing team wants to create a public Power Pages site to showcase upcoming events. They need to update event details frequently without developer assistance. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Store events in a Dataverse table and use a list component to display them.. Power Pages integrates natively with Microsoft Dataverse, and list components can display Dataverse table records on a page. Storing event details in a Dataverse table lets marketing staff update records through model-driven apps or Power Apps without touching the portal's code, satisfying the no-developer requirement.

Answer

Hardcode the event details in the page source.

Answer

Use a SharePoint list and connect it to the portal.

Answer

Edit the Liquid template each time an event changes.

Question 7

A company wants to create a Power App that allows employees to submit expense reports with receipts. The app must be accessible from both mobile devices and desktop browsers, and must include a workflow for approval. Which combination of Power Platform components should be used?

Accepted Answer

Canvas app with Power Automate flow triggered by form submission.. A canvas app is designed for responsive UI across mobile and desktop, making it suitable for both devices. Power Automate can be triggered from the canvas app (e.g., on form submission) to handle the approval workflow. Option B is incorrect because model-driven apps are not as flexible for custom mobile layouts. Option C is incorrect because AI Builder is not required for receipt processing in this scenario; while it could be used, it is not necessary. Option D is incorrect because Power Pages is for external-facing websites, not internal apps with approval workflows.

Answer

Model-driven app with embedded Power Automate flow for approval.

Answer

Canvas app with AI Builder to process receipts and Power Automate for approval.

Answer

Power Pages site with a custom workflow.

Question 8

A retail chain uses Power BI to analyze sales data from multiple stores. The data is stored in an Azure SQL Database. The company wants to give store managers access to a dashboard that shows their store's sales compared to the company average. However, store managers should not see other stores' data. The company also wants to automate the process of sending a weekly sales report to regional managers via email. The regional managers need to see aggregated data for their region. You need to implement a solution using Power Platform components. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Create a Power BI dataset with RLS to filter by store, publish a dashboard, and use a scheduled Power Automate flow to email a paginated report to regional managers.. It uses Power BI Row-Level Security (RLS) to restrict store managers to only their store's data while allowing regional managers to see aggregated data via a paginated report. The scheduled Power Automate flow automates the weekly email delivery, meeting both security and automation requirements without manual intervention.

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow that runs a SQL query and sends the results via email, and give store managers access to the Azure SQL Database directly.

Answer

Create separate Power BI dashboards for each store and each region, and manually share them.

Answer

Use Power Apps to build a custom dashboard for each store, and use Power Automate to email reports.

Question 9

You are reviewing a Power Automate flow that uses an Office 365 Users connector. The exhibit shows a JSON definition of an action. What does this action do?

Accepted Answer

Retrieves the user profile of the record owner.. The action uses the GetUserProfile operation with a User parameter taken from the trigger output. It retrieves the profile of the user who is the owner of the triggering record. Option A is incorrect because the action does not perform an update; it only retrieves data. Option B is incorrect because the action does not delete a profile. Option C is incorrect because the action does not create a new profile. Therefore, option D is correct.

Answer

Updates the profile of the user who triggered the flow.

Answer

Deletes the user profile of the record owner.

Answer

Creates a new user profile in Office 365.

Question 10

Which TWO actions can be used to add conditional logic in a Power Automate flow?

Accepted Answer

Switch. Option A, Switch, is correct because it evaluates a single expression against multiple case values and routes execution down the matching branch, which is a form of conditional (multi-branch) logic in Power Automate. Option D, Condition, is correct because it is the core conditional action that evaluates a Boolean expression and executes the 'If yes' or 'If no' branch based on the result. Option B, Do until, is a looping action that repeats until a condition is met, but it is categorized as iteration rather than branching conditional logic. Option C, Parallel branch, runs multiple branches simultaneously without evaluating any condition, so it does not add conditional logic. Option E, Apply to each, is a loop that iterates over a collection and does not itself perform conditional evaluation.

Answer

Do until

Answer

Parallel branch

Answer

Apply to each

Question 11

Which FOUR of the following are core components of Microsoft Power Platform?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI (A) is a core Power Platform component because it provides the business analytics and interactive dashboard/reporting layer of the platform. Power Virtual Agents (B) is also a core component, offering a no-code/low-code way to build conversational chatbots. Power Apps (D) is a core component that enables rapid building of custom canvas, model-driven, and portal applications. Power Automate (E) is a core component that provides workflow and robotic process automation across services and systems. Microsoft 365 (C) is not a Power Platform component; it is a separate productivity suite (Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, etc.) that Power Platform frequently integrates with, but it is not one of the platform's core components.

Answer

Microsoft 365

Question 12

Which TWO data sources can be directly connected to a Power Apps canvas app without using an on-premises data gateway? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Microsoft 365 Outlook. Microsoft 365 Outlook (option D) is a cloud-based service, so a canvas app can connect to it directly through the built-in Office 365 Outlook connector without any on-premises data gateway. SharePoint Online list (option E) is likewise a cloud-hosted data source, and the SharePoint connector supports direct connections from Power Apps canvas apps without a gateway. In contrast, Oracle Database on-premises (A), SAP on-premises (B), and SQL Server on-premises (C) all reside inside a private network, so they require an on-premises data gateway to be reached from Power Apps.

Answer

Oracle Database on-premises

Answer

SAP on-premises

Answer

SQL Server on-premises

Question 13

Which TWO are benefits of using Power BI for business analytics? (Select two.)

Accepted Answer

Visualize data through interactive dashboards. Option A is correct because Power BI's core strength is presenting data through interactive dashboards and reports, letting users slice, filter, and drill into visuals for business analytics. Option C is correct because Power BI includes AI-powered capabilities such as Quick Insights, natural-language Q&A, and AI visuals that automatically surface trends, outliers, and correlations in data. Option B is incorrect because automating code deployment is a DevOps/CI-CD function, not a Power BI analytics benefit. Option D is incorrect because Power BI connects to hundreds of data sources (databases, files, cloud services, and more), not a single source. Option E is incorrect because building customer-service chatbots is a Power Virtual Agents or Azure Bot Service scenario, not a Power BI analytics benefit.

Answer

Automate code deployment

Answer

Connect to a single data source only

Answer

Create chatbots for customer service

Question 14

Which TWO benefits does Power Platform offer to organizations? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Provides seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure. Option A is correct because Power Platform connectors natively integrate with Microsoft 365 services (SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Dataverse) and Azure services (Azure Functions, Logic Apps, API Management, Microsoft Entra ID), allowing apps and flows to use existing identity, data, and cloud resources without custom middleware. Option B is correct because Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents provide low-code/no-code visual designers, prebuilt templates, and drag-and-drop components that let citizen developers (business users outside IT) create solutions with minimal or no traditional programming. Option C is not correct because Power Platform requires standalone Power Apps/Power Automate per-user or per-app licenses; an Office 365 license alone does not grant full Power Platform capabilities beyond limited seeded rights. Option D is not correct because Power Platform augments rather than eliminates custom development—complex scenarios still require pro-code extensions, custom connectors, plug-ins, or Azure services.

Answer

Is free for all users with an Office 365 license

Answer

Eliminates the need for any custom development

Question 15

Which TWO scenarios are appropriate for using Power Automate? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Copying files from one SharePoint folder to another when a new file is added. Option B is correct because Power Automate is a workflow automation service that can use a SharePoint trigger such as 'When a file is created in a folder' to automatically copy the new file to another SharePoint folder, which is a classic event-driven automation scenario. Option D is correct because Power Automate natively supports approval workflows via the Approvals connector, so when a new expense report is submitted it can trigger an approval request and route it to the appropriate approver. Option A is not appropriate because dashboards for visualizing sales trends are built with Power BI, not Power Automate. Option C is not appropriate because building a custom data-entry user interface is done with Power Apps, whereas Power Automate handles background process automation rather than UI creation.

Answer

Creating a dashboard to visualize sales trends

Answer

Building a custom user interface for data entry
