PL-900 Practice Exam 59 — 20 Questions

Question 1

Refer to the exhibit. You are reviewing an Azure Resource Manager template for a Power Platform connector. Which component is being configured?

Accepted Answer

A Dataverse connector. The exhibit shows an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template defining a connection resource of type 'Microsoft.PowerPlatform/connectors'. This resource type specifically configures a Dataverse connector, which enables Power Platform components to connect to Microsoft Dataverse. The template includes properties like 'environment', 'apiId', and 'connectionParameters' that are unique to connector definitions, not to apps, flows, or datasets.

Answer

A Power Apps canvas app

Answer

A Power Automate flow

Answer

A Power BI dataset

Question 2

Your organization wants to create a public-facing website where customers can submit support requests. The website should be built with minimal custom code and integrate with Dataverse. Which Power Platform component should you use?

Accepted Answer

Power Pages. Power Pages is the correct choice because it is a low-code, secure, enterprise-grade platform for creating public-facing websites that integrate directly with Dataverse. It enables external customers to submit support requests without custom code, leveraging built-in authentication, form components, and Dataverse data binding.

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Automate

Question 3

You are a Power Automate developer for a large retail company. The company uses a SharePoint Online list named 'SalesOrders' to track orders. Each order has a Status column (choice: New, Processing, Shipped, Delivered). When an order is updated to 'Shipped', a flow should send an email with tracking info to the customer. Additionally, if the order amount exceeds $10,000, a manager must approve the shipment before the email is sent. You create a flow with a trigger 'When an item is modified' and add a condition to check if Status equals 'Shipped'. Inside the condition, you add an approval action. The flow currently sends the approval to the manager for all orders, even those under $10,000. You need to modify the flow so that orders under $10,000 skip the approval and directly send the email. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Add a second condition inside the 'Status equals Shipped' condition that checks if amount exceeds $10,000; place the approval action inside this new condition, and the email action after it. It adds a nested condition inside the existing 'Status equals Shipped' condition to check if the order amount exceeds $10,000. The approval action is placed inside this nested condition (for orders over $10,000), while the email action is placed after the nested condition but still within the 'Status equals Shipped' condition. This ensures that only orders over $10,000 require manager approval, and all shipped orders (regardless of amount) eventually send the email—either directly (if under $10,000) or after approval (if over $10,000).

Answer

Modify the existing condition to check if amount exceeds $10,000, and if false, terminate the flow

Answer

Use a 'Switch' action based on the amount, with cases for >10000 and <=10000

Answer

Add a 'Parallel branch' after the trigger: one branch for approval, one for email

Question 4

A company is using Microsoft Copilot Studio to build a copilot for employee onboarding. The copilot must authenticate users to provide personalized information. The company uses Azure AD (now Microsoft Entra ID) for identity management. Which authentication method should the administrator configure in Copilot Studio?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) authentication. Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) authentication is the correct choice because the company uses Azure AD for identity management, and Copilot Studio natively supports this authentication method to provide personalized, authenticated experiences. This allows the copilot to verify user identities via OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, enabling access to user-specific data and context during onboarding.

Answer

Anonymous access

Answer

Manual authentication

Answer

SharePoint authentication

Question 5

Which THREE actions can a Power Platform administrator perform in the Power Platform admin center to manage environments?

Accepted Answer

Create a new environment. The Power Platform admin center provides administrators with the ability to create new environments, which are containers for managing apps, flows, and data. This action is a core administrative task for organizing and isolating resources within a tenant.

Answer

Create a new Microsoft Entra ID security group

Answer

Install a managed solution from AppSource

Question 6

A company uses Power BI to analyze customer feedback from surveys. The data is stored in Excel on SharePoint. They want to refresh the report daily without manual intervention. Which feature should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI scheduled refresh. Power BI scheduled refresh allows you to configure automatic, recurring data refreshes for datasets stored in the cloud (including Excel files on SharePoint). This eliminates the need for manual intervention by using the Power BI service to re-import the data at defined intervals, such as daily.

Answer

Power BI gateway

Answer

DirectQuery mode

Answer

Power Automate flow to refresh the dataset

Question 7

A retail chain uses Power Apps for an inventory management app. Employees report that the app loads slowly. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The app uses a non-delegable query on a large data source. The most likely cause of slow loading in a Power Apps inventory management app is a non-delegable query on a large data source. When a query cannot be delegated, Power Apps retrieves all records from the data source to the client device, then filters locally, causing significant performance degradation with large datasets. This is a common issue when using functions like `Filter` with unsupported operators or columns on large tables.

Answer

The app has too many controls per screen

Answer

The app uses too many screens

Answer

The app has complex formulas in OnStart

Question 8

A sales team needs a dashboard showing real-time sales data from multiple sources to identify trends. Which Power Platform component is best suited for this?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is the correct choice because it is designed specifically for data visualization and business intelligence, enabling users to create interactive dashboards that combine real-time data from multiple sources. Its ability to connect to various data streams (e.g., SQL databases, Excel, cloud services) and update visuals automatically makes it ideal for identifying sales trends as they happen.

Answer

Power Apps

Answer

Power Pages

Answer

Power Automate

Question 9

Refer to the exhibit. A Power Platform administrator applies this DLP policy to the default environment. What is the result?

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Teams and Twitter connectors are blocked in the default environment. The exhibit shows a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy configured with Microsoft Teams and Twitter connectors in the 'Blocked' group. Since this policy is applied to the default environment, only those two connectors are blocked in that environment. All other connectors remain in the 'Allowed' group by default, so they are permitted. Therefore, the correct result is that Microsoft Teams and Twitter connectors are blocked in the default environment.

Answer

All connectors are allowed

Answer

All connectors are blocked

Answer

The policy applies to all environments

Question 10

A non-profit organization uses Power Platform to manage donor records. They have a single environment (default). A volunteer accidentally deleted a critical Power App component. The IT coordinator needs to restore the component from a previous version. The environment does not have any backup solution in place. What should the IT coordinator do?

Accepted Answer

Open the app in Power Apps Studio and use the version history feature to restore the previous version.. Power Platform includes version history for Power Apps, allowing restoration of previous versions. The coordinator can access the app's version history and restore the component.

Answer

Contact Microsoft Support to recover the deleted component.

Answer

Restore the environment from a backup using the Power Platform Admin Center.

Answer

Recreate the component manually.

Question 11

A user wants to create a simple app to track personal expenses using an Excel file stored in OneDrive. Which Power Apps approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Create a canvas app from the Excel file. A canvas app can be created directly from an Excel file stored in OneDrive using the Power Apps 'Start from data' option. This generates a three-screen app (browse, detail, edit) that connects to the Excel table via the OneDrive for Business connector, making it ideal for simple personal expense tracking without requiring Dataverse or custom development.

Answer

Use Power Pages to display the Excel file

Answer

Create a model-driven app using Dataverse

Answer

Use Power Automate to create a mobile app

Question 12

You are creating a canvas app for expense reporting. The app must allow managers to approve or reject expenses using a dropdown. Which control should you use for the approval action?

Accepted Answer

Dropdown. A dropdown is ideal for selecting from a short list. Option A is wrong because radio buttons are better for 2-3 options. Option C is wrong because text input is for free text. Option D is wrong because slider is for numeric ranges.

Answer

Radio button

Answer

Text input

Answer

Slider

Question 13

A developer is creating a custom control using Power Apps Component Framework (PCF). After importing the solution, the control appears but does not show any data. What is the most likely issue based on the exhibit?

Accepted Answer

The control requires a dataset property but only a text property is defined. The 'abilities' section indicates the control expects a dataset, but the only property defined is a single line of text. The control likely needs a dataset property to receive data. The version, namespace, and display key are not causing data issues.

Answer

The display-name-key is missing a translation

Answer

The version number is incorrect

Answer

The namespace is misspelled

Question 14

A Power Apps app calls a Power Automate flow with the trigger schema shown. The app passes an email string and a score number. However, the flow fails with a validation error. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The app is passing the parameters as individual strings instead of a JSON object. The trigger expects an object with properties 'email' and 'score'. If the app passes the parameters in a different order or as separate values instead of a JSON object, the flow fails. The schema is valid, and the types match.

Answer

The email property is misspelled

Answer

The score property should be a string

Answer

The flow trigger is set to 'When a HTTP request is received' instead of manual

Question 15

A business analyst creates a canvas app connected to a SharePoint list. Users report that the app loads slowly when accessing it on their mobile phones. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The app retrieves all columns from the SharePoint list on startup. Slow loading on mobile is often due to too many data source calls on startup. Using fewer columns reduces load time. The app size and delegation issues are less likely to be the primary cause here.

Answer

The app uses a non-delegable query

Answer

The SharePoint list has more than 500 items

Answer

The app uses too many images and controls on the first screen

Question 16

Refer to the exhibit. You deploy this ARM template to create a Power Apps environment. What will be the SKU of the created environment?

Accepted Answer

Production. The property 'environmentSku' is set to 'Production'. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not match the value in the template.

Answer

Sandbox

Answer

Developer

Answer

Trial

Question 17

A user reports that a canvas app is loading slowly on mobile devices. The app uses multiple galleries with large data sources. What is the most effective optimization to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Use delegable queries to filter data server-side. Delegable queries reduce the data loaded into the app. Option A is wrong as it increases load. Option B is wrong as it adds overhead. Option D is wrong as it moves data, not optimize.

Answer

Increase the number of columns in the data source

Answer

Migrate from SharePoint to Excel Online

Answer

Add multiple nested galleries

Question 18

Which THREE components are part of a canvas app's formula language?

Accepted Answer

Functions. Canvas app formulas use functions, operators, and controls. Dataverse tables are data sources, not formula components. Power Automate flows are separate.

Answer

Dataverse tables

Answer

Power Automate flows

Question 19

A company wants to build a Power App that can be used on mobile devices and tablets. They need the app to adapt to different screen sizes. Which feature should they use?

Accepted Answer

Responsive layout containers. Power Apps responsive layout containers allow controls to automatically resize and reposition. Option A is wrong because static layouts do not adapt. Option C is wrong because the mobile app does not automatically adapt layouts. Option D is wrong because screen templates are fixed.

Answer

Power Apps mobile app with no changes

Answer

Use of screen templates only

Answer

Static layout with fixed sizes

Question 20

A company wants to use Power Apps to digitize a paper-based approval process. Managers will review and approve requests through a mobile-friendly interface. Which feature should be used to notify managers of pending approvals?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate flow triggered on record creation. Power Automate can send notifications when a record is created or updated. Option B is wrong because Power BI is for analytics. Option C is wrong because AI Builder is for AI models. Option D is wrong because Power Pages is for external websites.

Answer

Power BI dashboard

Answer

Power Pages site

Answer

AI Builder object detection
