DP-700 Implement and Manage an Analytics Solution Practice Question
You are managing a Microsoft Fabric environment and need to implement 'Endorsement' for several high-quality datasets to help users find reliable data. Which TWO levels of endorsement can you apply to Fabric items?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse endorsement levels with workspace roles or permissions like Admin and Member, assuming 'Verified' or 'Official' are valid endorsement types instead of the correct 'Promoted' and 'Certified' levels.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Promoted
Endorsement helps users identify trustworthy and high-quality items in Fabric. It is a key part of data governance. There are two specific levels of endorsement that signify different degrees of validation, helping to distinguish between casual development items and certified, authoritative business assets used for critical reporting.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Promoted
Why this is correct
The 'Promoted' level is used to highlight items that are considered valuable and ready for use by others. It is a way for item owners to signal that the content is reliable, although it does not require the same formal review process as the 'Certified' level.
- ✓
Certified
Why this is correct
The 'Certified' level is the highest form of endorsement. It typically requires a formal review process by a designated authority within the organization to ensure the item meets strict quality and accuracy standards. Only authorized users can certify items to maintain their integrity.
- ✗
Verified
Why it's wrong here
While 'Verified' sounds like a logical term for data quality, it is not a standard endorsement level in Microsoft Fabric. Fabric specifically uses 'Promoted' and 'Certified' to categorize the maturity and reliability of its items within the OneLake data hub and workspaces.
- ✗
Approved
Why it's wrong here
The term 'Approved' is not part of the official Microsoft Fabric endorsement vocabulary. While organizations may have an approval workflow, the final state reflected in the Fabric UI and metadata is either 'Promoted' or 'Certified' to help users discover the most relevant data.
- ✗
Validated
Why it's wrong here
Similar to 'Verified' and 'Approved', 'Validated' is not a technical term used for item endorsement in Fabric. Using the correct terminology is important for both the exam and for configuring the environment according to Microsoft's governance framework and user interface options.
